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.
