GLOBALIZATION AND LABOUR REFORMS C-PD

This book analyses labour market reforms in India under conditions of globalization. Through a study of subnational variations in labour markets, the book emphasizes on the continued relevance of politics in shaping public policy, despite the structural-institutional constraints attributed to globalization and policy convergence. It shows that the role of partisan governments, dynamics of interest group negotiations, and party competition in the states can largelyinfluence public policy decisions for domestic socio-economic interests.
