Navigating the Indian Economic Policy, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This volume examines the 21st century challenges facing India and explores how the country can adopt a development approach capable of addressing these complex issues. It makes an integrated effort to mainstream social and environmental challenges in economic policy-making, offering a contemporary critical scrutiny of major issues emerging from India's development experience of over 75 years since Independence in 1947.

The book covers nearly all significant aspects of the Indian economy, including growth and development, poverty, inequality, human development, public policy, environment and biodiversity, and external economic relations. From a policy perspective, it encompasses both an assessment of existing and past policies as well as prescriptions for the future. Based on current and new datasets, the analysis moves beyond India's initial planned economic development model with its emphasis on the public sector to address the evolving realities of contemporary India.

This volume will serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, policy makers, and general readers interested in economics, development studies, policy management, public finance, and South Asian studies. It offers essential insights for anyone seeking to understand India's development trajectory and the policy challenges that lie ahead.
