This book assesses the impact of liberalization on practices of government and relations between state and society. It is clear that liberalization as state policy has complex forms of regulation and deregulation inbuilt, and these policies have resulted in dramatic increases in productivity and economic wealth but also generated spectacular new forms of inequality between social groups, regions, and sectors.
Through a detailed examination of the Indian state, the contributors - all experts in their respective fields - explore questions such as:
By focusing on what specifically has changed about the state after liberalization in India, this volume will shed light on comparative questions about the process of neoliberal restructuring across the world. As such, it will be of interest to scholars of a variety of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, political science, geography, international studies, public policy, environmental studies and economics.

The state is not always directly visible in these contributions, but the changed conditions of political life in the ‘new’ India are well illustrated by all those who have summed up their interesting field work in this publication." - Dietmar Rothermund, H-Soz-u-Kult, 2011
