The political economy of trade, finance and development : Selected essays of T N Srinivasan
Narayana N S S
The political economy of trade, finance and development : Selected essays of T N Srinivasan - New Delhi Oxford University Press 2007 - 502p xiii
Globalization has several dimensions spanning the political, economic, social, and cultural. This multidimensionality has remained unarticulated in our understanding of globalization. What does globalization really mean? Is globalization necessary? How do we globalize? What are the costs and benefits involved? These complications in international political economy are the central issues of T.N. Srinivasan’s essays in this collection. Among the few intellectuals with a cellar vision on the subject, Srinivasan’s essays cover economic growth, development, international trade, poverty eradication, international financial architecture, and various aspects of India’s economic reforms, including the comparative reform experiences of India, China, and Pakistan. The essays provide a comprehensive view of efforts required by the developing economies towards globalization. They also highlight the distortions that come in the way of integrating domestic markets with the world economy. This volume will be useful to students and researchers of international economics, political economy, and development as well as to political scientists. Policymakers, trade analysts, development economists, and aid agencies will also find it enlightening.
