"Vivek Chibber's "Locked in Place" is a brilliant, benchmark study
of the developmental state and its dilemmas. Over the past two
decades there has been a steady move away from systematic class
analysis of state strategies toward state-centric approaches.
Chibber decisively "brings class back in" in a nuanced and
penetrating investigation of how class strategies constrain and
intersect the institutional logics of developmental states."--Erik
Olin Wright, University of Wisconsin, author of "Class Counts" and
"Class, Crisis and the State"
"A truly outstanding book. Chibber presents a novel, powerful,
and controversial central thesis that will be of great interest to
scholars in the field. He beautifully elaborates the expected
consequences of this thesis for comparative historical cases, and
presents two critically important, contrasting cases to great
effect, with lucidity and elan. The empirical matter is
substantial, but is always presented economically and with modesty.
The text is extremely well written. The provocative conclusions
will, as they should, unquestionably stimulate a raft of further
questions and new research."--Robert Brenner
"This book is an excellent piece of scholarship and an important
contribution both to the ongoing comparative debate on the role of
the state in development and to our understanding of India as a
significant and weighty case within that debate. Marked by careful,
detailed historical research and unrelenting engagement with
general analytical issues, it will be an invaluable resource for
future scholars trying to understand the emergence of the
post-colonial state in India."--Peter Evans, author of "Embedded
Autonomy: States and IndustrialTransformation"
