Dear Colleagues:

I am pleased to announce the publication of:
Transformation and Development:The Political Economy of Transition in India
and China,Edited by Amiya Kumar Bagchi and Anthony P. D'Costa,Oxford
University Press India, 368 pages | 215x140mm,978-0-19-808228-6 | Hardback
|
While most of the advanced capitalist countries are reeling under a severe
financial crisis, the rapid growth of India and China, the two largest and
fastest growing economies in the world, are contributing to the realignment
of the world economy. At the same time, the transition in these countries
is characterized by deep rural poverty and underdevelopment, and plagued by
unprecedented forms of social and economic inequality, reliance on volatile
export markets, brutal land grabs, and forms of crony capitalism.

This volume brings together twelve wide-ranging essays that collectively
engage in discussing key areas of transformation and development, including
agriculture, industry, global finance and outward direct foreign
investments, science and technology, and R&D policies of these nations.
Using an interdisciplinary and multi-level analysis, the volume provides
comprehensive and critical insights into the dynamics of the development
process in the two countries while exploring the realignment of east-west
and north-south relations as well as regional balance.
