A Sustainable Fiscal Policy for India: An International Perspective
Oxford University Press; New Delhi, India; 2006; 019567488X / 9780195674880; First Edition; Hard Cover; New; New;
India s economy has grown rapidly since the beginning of the 1990s despite a large and growing fiscal deficit and rising public levels relative to output. This book explores whether India has found a way to reconcile sustained expansionary fiscal policies with relative macroeconomic stability. Drawing on the views of some of the most knowledgeable experts on macroeconomics and fiscal policy, with wide ranging experience in both other emerging market countries as well as in India, it seeks to understand the strengths and weaknesses of India s policies in managing its fiscal position. This volume argues why India does not face serious macroeconomic problems in spite of large fiscal imbalances but at the same time incurring hidden costs on the economy in terms of foregone potential for even higher economic growth. It warns that time is running out for India to address these fiscal imbalances in a way that does not result in enhanced vulnerability to macroeconomic crisis. Printed Pages: 432. 013741

C.H. Hanumantha Rao
Agriculture, Food Security, Poverty and Environment: Essays on Post-reform India
Oxford University Press; New Delhi, India; 2005; 0195671953 / 9780195671957; First Edition; Hardcover; New; New;
This book is the outcome of explorations over the last decade into an economic reform package for India which reconciles economic efficiency with social equity. It examines economic performance and policies in interrelated areas including the agricultural sector, food security, rural poverty, and sustainable rural development in India and suggests an agenda for further reform. In drawing out a comparative perspective between post-reform India and East Asia, Hanumantha Rao attributes the extraordinary high GDP growth rate in agriculture, speedier demographic transition and the rapid pace of poverty reduction achieved by East and Southeast Asia to not just an open and market-driven economy, but to the ability of the State to implement radical land reform, infrastructure, and human resource development in the pre-reform period. Many of the shortfalls in achieving the objectives of growth with social justice are due to the failure to take account of these initial conditions. That India did much less in all these respects is seen as an important reason for its slower progress even after the initiation of reforms. The author suggests the following measures as essential for sustaining reform: stepping up agricultural growth to sustain overall growth rate in GDP removing restrictions on domestic trade public investment in basic infrastructure such as roads, irrigation, marketing, power, research, and extension expanding institutional credit to meet farmer's requirements This collection, showcasing the work of one of the foremost scholars in the discipline, is essential for students and researchers of agricultural and development economics, environment, and international trade. It will be a valuable guide for policymakers, activists, as well as for agricultural and trade analysts. Printed Pages: 356. 014001

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, 5 Vols.
Routledge; London, UK; 2007; 0415310989 / 9780415310987; First Edition; Hardcover; New; New;
The Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum was established as a regional grouping in 1989 to deal with the issues arising from growing regional interdependence. Its stated aim is to build ‘a prosperous Asia-Pacific through free and open trade and investment’ and it now has twenty-one member economies, including China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Canada, the USA, Mexico, Peru and Chile. The APEC Summit of Leaders and Ministers from around the region is the major dialogue on economic and political affairs across the Pacific each year. But APEC continues to evolve in a bid to keep pace with the rise of East Asian economic and political power, first around the emergence of Japan as a great industrial nation, later with the rise of the other East Asian economies, the remarkable growth of China and, more recently, the emergence of India. This new Major Work from Routledge is a five-volume collection which covers in depth the origins and history of APEC, its achievements and the impact it has had—and continues to have—on international relations and economic cooperation in general. It provides the information, analysis and interpretation that are essential to thinking about the economic and political framework within which these unprecedented changes in the structure of the world economy might be managed more or less successfully. Volume I: APEC: Its Origins; Volume II: APEC: Economic and Political Rationale; Volume III: APEC: Foundations and Evolution; Volume IV: APEC and East Asian Arrangements; Volume V: APEC: Its Record and Achievements.

Asian Irrigation in Transition: Responding to Challenges
Sage Publications; New Delhi, India; 2005; 0761933506 / 9780761933502; First Edition; Hardcover; New; New; 5.5 x 8.5 Inches
There is today a crucial need to revamp the management and governance of water systems in Asia in order to cater to the increasing demands of a growing group of users with diverse needs—urban settlements, industry, food producers and environmental needs. Written by a mix of international observers and practitioners, these essays cover a wide range of issues that are involved in this endeavor. Based on actual fieldwork in various Asian countries, the contributors collectively address three major themes: - The response to the competition for resources including groundwater and aquifers, multiple water use, water reclamation, and watershed and basin management. - The emergence of new partnerships and institutional reforms, such as the changing role of governments, participatory approaches, new accountability mechanisms and improving the infrastructure. - The economic productivity of irrigated agriculture through water users` associations, demand-oriented and pro-poor irrigation services, and agribusiness. Drawing vital lessons from the Asian experience, this important volume will greatly assist in the design of efficient and equitable water management systems as well as serve to outline an agenda for future research for practitioners and policymakers.

Kaushik Basu
Collected Papers in Theoretical Economics: Volume I: Development, Markets, and Institutions
Oxford University Press; New Delhi, India; 2005; 0195667611 / 9780195667615; First Edition; Hardcover; New; New;
The field of development economics has witnessed dramatic change over the past two or three decades. The subject, though still among the most challenging sub-disciplines of economics, has drawn on the benefits of the rise of game theoretic methods, strategic analysis, and the availability of new data-sets. It not only entails the use of good eocnomic theory but also requires that the researchers keep an anthropologist's eye on reality. This collection illustrates Basu's method of research well as it comments on a range of contentious subjects, such as the design of policy to combat child labour, the role of social norms in explaining why certain unwanted economic institutions persist, and how literacy ought to be measured. Besides providing easy access for students of economics especially in developing countries--to the author's major papers in the fiel d of theoretical development--the book will be of immense interest to professional economists, policy-makers, and economic journalists.

Economic development: concept and measurement; Economic growth and its determinants; Financing economic growth from domestic sources; Financing economic growth from external sources; International trade and development; External balance and the exchange rate; Regional economic integration and monetary union; Stabilization, structural adjustment and the role of the IMF; Cost-benefit analysis and competitiveness; Privatization and public sector reform; Index. 'This is a book that succeeds in striking a good balance between general theory and specific applications. It reads well and is perfectly accessible to students. The book represents a marked improvement on several recent textbooks on the same subject, and is unique in that it strikes a careful balance between different geographical regions of the world.' Professor David E. Hojman, University of Liverpool, UK 'In fewer than 300 pages Dr Siggel offers us a comprehensive and superbly written treatment of development micro and open macroeconomics from a policy perspective. Carefully built numerical examples and problems, mostly drawn from the author's first-hand field experience, show the reader the relevance of sound theory as well as both the potential and limitations of the analytical tools used by practitioners.'

Sudhir Naib
Disinvestment in India: Policies, Procedures, Practices
Sage Publications; New Delhi, India; 2004; 076199825X / 9780761998259; First Edition; Cloth; New; New; 5.5" x 8.5"
In India the path chosen to reform the public sector has been to first deregulate and liberalise the economy and then to privatise public sector enterprises. Debates have raged on since then on: whether reform of state-owned enterprises is necessary; the choice of strategy and method; and the social and economic consequences of such policies. Sudhir Naib has incisively analysed, from a theoretically informed perspective, crucial aspects of this topical issue. Among the important aspects he discusses are: - Whether the failure of Indian public enterprises has been exaggerated. - Can public enterprises be reformed from within or are they intrinsically inefficient? - Is a change in ownership the only solution? - Impact of ownership and competition on the efficiency of Indian enterprises. - Methods of privatisation and the experience of other countries. - Impact of divestiture on performance of disinvested enterprises. Dr Naib provides a firm-level analysis through case studies of seven partly disinvested enterprises (SAIL, BHEL, IOC, ITI, BEL, BEML, NFL). Impact of post-reform policies on enterprises is analysed in terms of changes in market share, cost structure, profitability and work culture. The strategic response of these enterprises is examined in terms of cost reduction measures, change in product portfolio, restructuring, innovation and institutional arrangement for diagnosing environmental changes.

Alfred W. Crosby
Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe, 900-1900
Cambridge University Press; Cambridge, UK; 2004; 0521546184 / 9780521546188; Paperback; New;
People of European descent form the bulk of the population in most of the temperate zones of the world - North America, Australia and New Zealand. The military successes of European imperialism are easy to explain; in many cases they were a matter of firearms against spears. But, as Alfred Crosby maintains in this highly original and fascinating book, the Europeans' displacement and replacement of the native peoples in the temperate zones was more a matter of biology than of military conquest. European organisms had certain decisive advantages over their New World and Australian counterparts. The spread of European disease, flora, and fauna went hand in hand with the growth of populations. Consequently, these imperialists became proprietors of the world’s most important agricultural lands. Now in a new edition with a new preface, Crosby revisits his now-classic work and again evaluates the global historical importance of European ecological expansion. Contents 1. Prologue; 2. Pangaea revisited, the Neolithic reconsidered; 3. The Norse and the Crusaders; 4. The Fortunate Isles; 5. Winds; 6. Within reach, beyond grasp; 7. Weeds; 8. Animals; 9. Ills; 10. New Zealand; 11. Explanations; 12. Conclusion. Printed Pages: 390 with 1 line diagram, 20 half-tones and 6 maps. 008698

Ajit Mishra (ed.)
Economics of Corruption
Oxford University Press; New Delhi, India; 2005; 0195648072 / 9780195648072; First Edition; Hardcover; New; New;
The Readers in Economics is an extension of the ongoing Themes in Economics series. Each book in the series comprises important published essays and book extracts on specific themes. Corruption is commonly perceived as the single most important obstacle to development faced by many countries, especially the developing ones. However, according to some social scientists corruption is an efficient mechanism needed to oil the intricate machinery of politics and business and as such should not be considered a liability. A major theme in the study of corruption is the moral status of corruption or bribery. The reading in this collection reflect, for the first time, the role of incentives as well as governance structures at various levels--individuals, groups, classes, and sub-cultures. The major issues covered include collusion, misgovernance, corruptible law enforcers, bribe-seeking bureaucracy, electoral competition, and special interest politics. In a lucid introduction Mishra d is cusses a broad spectrum of sociocultural indicators that have an impact on the level of corruption. Using tools from mainstream economic analysis, these articles offer theoretical as well as empirical perspectives on the problem of corruption and provide insights on how to fight it. Useful for students, reasearchers, policymakers, as also NGOs, journalists, public funding agencies, and corporates this reader is both insightful and informative. Printed Pages: 357. 014113

European Integration: Trade and Industry
Cambridge University Press; Cambridge, UK; 1993; 0521012627 / 9780521012621; Paperback; New;
Much recent research has been devoted to the consequences of the completion of the European internal market in 1992. Existing estimates of the effects of market integration remain exploratory, however, and many important issues have yet to be adequately addressed. These are the issues concerning this book. Edited by L. Alan Winters and Anthony Venables, the volume examines such questions as the extent of gains to be expected from both ‘internal’ and ‘external’ economies of scale following integration, the implications of 1992 for the European Community’s trade with its traditional EFTA partners, the potentially valuable new East European markets, and the rest of the world. There are also chapters considering the implications of the internal market for the design of appropriate technology and taxation policies, and a study of the role of Japanese foreign direct investment in European manufacturing. Contents 1. Completing the internal market in the European Community: factor demands and comparative advantage Michael Gasiorek, Alasdair Smith and Antony Venables; 2. External effects and Europe’s integration Riccardo Caballero and Richard Lyons; 3. The multifibre agreement and the quality of production of textiles and clothing Riccardo Faini and Alberto Heimler; 4. The discipline of imports in the European market Alexis Jacquemin and Andre Sapir; 5. European and EC integration Damien Neven and Lars-Hendrik Roller; 6. 1992 and EFTA Victor Norman; 7.

Stephen Cullenberg and Prasanta K. Pattanaik (eds)
Globalization, Culture, and the Limits of the Market
Oxford University Press; New Delhi, India; 2003; 0195664469 / 9780195664461; First Edition; Hardcover; New; New;
Part of the prestigious Themes in Economics series, this collection of papers discusses critical issues that have often been at the centre of social debates in recent years. Economists and philosophers discuss such issues as the limitations of markets as an instrument of decision-making in a society, globalization and culture, the foundational principles for public policy, the criteria for the allocation of human organs, and the paradox of scarcity despite affluence in modern societies. Two papers study the implication of globalization for culture and the nature of culture itself. The rest of the papers analyse a wide range of other problems including the foundational principles for the formulation of public policy, the criteria for allocating human organs among patients who need them, and the way in which modernity has generated scarcity even as advanced technology has led to unprecedented affluence. The papers combine analytical rigour and readability. While they are always thoug ht provoking and often incisive, they do not demand from the reader much prior knowledge of either economics or philosophy. With contributions from eminent academicians such as Richard Arneson, Ravi Kanbur, Paul Seabright, and Steve Marglin, the book will be very useful for post graduate students of economic thought and courses exploring the interface of economics and philosophy researchers and teachers in these areas professional economists, philosophers and serious general readers interested in social issues.

Oxford University Press; New Delhi, India; 2005; 0195672399 / 9780195672398; First Edition; Paperback; New; 14 x 22 Cm
This book comprehensively analyses urbanization trends in India using, for the first time, the 2001 Census data. It looks at definitional problems in the identification of urban settlements for comparative analysis. The realistic quantification of migration, its share of urban growth in large cities, the role of small and medium towns, and growth of large urban agglomerations are also considered. Covering 17 major states across India the study takes into account regional dimensions--both at the state- and district- level as well as urban population growth across states. Micro-level perspectives are included by bringing in district-level analysis of two developed states--Maharashtra and Punjab, and two relatively backward states--Rajasthan and Bihar. The study analyses: the extent, patterns, and trends as well as the socioeconomic and spatial characteristics of urbanization interdependencies between urbanization and available infrastructural facilities trends o f rural-urban migration and its relationship with employment situation globalization and lopsided urban growth Professional urban planners, state urban development authorities, as well as national and international donor agencies will benefit from this well researched study.
