This book critically discusses the changing relationship between
the Indian state and capital by examining the mediating role of
society in influencing developmental outcomes. It theorizes the
state's changing context allowing the discussion of its pursuit of
contradictory economic and social welfare goals simultaneously.
Both structural and ideological factors are argued to contribute to
a shifting context, but the centrality of re-distributive politics
and the contradictions therein explain a lot of what the state does
and cannot do. The book also examines what the state aspires to do
but structurally cannot accomplish either because of the scale of
the problem or the dysfunctionality that sets in with continuous
reforms. The collection provides rich evidence on the contested
forms of governance arising from changing contexts and shifting
roles of the state. Readers will benefit from this recasting of the
Indian state in terms of the actual forms of intervention today.
Changing Contexts and Shifting Roles of the Indian State is a
timely book. At a time when the question of the role of the state
in promoting more inclusive forms of development has never been
more urgent, this book provides a range of powerful and insightful
case studies of how a changing Indian capitalism is impacting and
in turn being impacted by the multi-stranded role of the Indian
state. Patrick Heller, Professor of Sociology and International
Affairs, Brown University, Providence. Since the early 1990s, the
Indian economy has moved away from a statist model of development
to a more market-oriented one. However, very little scholarship
exists that attempts to analyse India's recent development
experience from a political economy lens. This book, which is
edited by two of India's reputed scholars in the political economy
of development, addresses this important gap in the literature. It
provides an insightful account of the role of the state and the
market in India's economic resurgence in the last three decades.
The book also contributes to a fresh understanding of what is meant
by a twenty-first century developmental state in a globalised
world. The book will be valuable reading for all scholars of India,
as well as to researchers in the political economy of development.
Kunal Sen, Director, United Nations University - World Institute
for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER), Helsinki. This
collection gives us a richer and more layered understanding of the
Indian contemporary State. Rather than see the State as an
unchanging entity with unchanging interests, the book argues that
the role of the State changes with the context and with the change
in political regime. Thus, taking contradictory decisions such as
greater dispossession of land from the peasantry and expansion of
the universe of economic rights is explainable. The argument is
that we can have a better understanding when we see the Indian
State as dealing with the ebb and flow of a democracy. C.

This book pursues a Marxist approach with an emphasis on class to
reflect on Marx's Capital in the context of the East. It critically
reassesses some of the familiar concepts in Capital and teases out
issues that are at its periphery. In various essays, it explores
this borderland to promote new concepts and modes of analysing
Marx's treatise in the twenty-first century. Accordingly, it
represents an advance in Marxian theory and politics. Examining
Marx's Capital from the perspective and location of the East, the
book focuses on many issues that are at the 'borders' of Capital,
which is concerned principally on unpacking developed capitalism.
New concepts are introduced and set in relation to those championed
by Marx in order to advance our understanding of economy,
capitalism, development and politics. In this regard, the book
offers a reading of Capital that is distinct from conventional
reflections on it in the Western world. The scope is vast, covering
much of the territory in Marx's Capital, as well as addressing a
few new issues connected to Capital. The content is divided into
the following sections: Reception of Capital in the East; Value,
Commodity, Surplus Value and Capitalism; Population and Rent in
Capital; and Issues Beyond Capital.

Kapitals, die sich von den herkömmlichen Überlegungen in der
westlichen Welt unterscheidet. Der Umfang ist groß und deckt einen

Limits of Bargaining is an original addition to the political
economy analysis of capital-labour relations in the organised
industrial sector in the context of economic liberalisation in
India. It analyses the dynamics of the capital-labour bargaining
process in the context of the changing nature of the state and
market as a result of adoption of policies of liberalisation and
globalisation for the last two and half decades. It examines the
nature of collective bargaining and analyses the underlying
structural-political conditions that shape the capital-labour
relations. Based on original empirical material from West Bengal, a
state long considered pro-labour, the book presents bargaining
between capital and labour as endogenous to the interplay of the
triad of the market, technology and the institutions of the state.
It illustrates everyday interactions between labour and management,
different unions and outside actors that shape collective
bargaining, and highlights the negotiation, appropriations and
compromises that shape bargaining at the operational level.
