Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Economic development is not merely economic growth and prosperity, but it includes a multitude of goals. This book analyses the expanding concept of economic development as it evolved over time, encompassing multidimensional human wellbeing extending well beyond material prosperity. The book adopts the generic framework of Stiglitz et al. (2009), where economic development is viewed as achievements across eight dimensions - material prosperity, education, health, economic security, personal security, environmental conditions, political voice and social connections. The authors implement this concept to design a robust measure of development for comparing Indian states. The authors also define three sub-measures - human development, security and voice and confidence - broadly representing three distinct aspects of development. The results clearly show that state level performances vary considerably across various dimensions of development. No state does uniformly well or badly across all levels, thereby exposing the fallacy of branding the development experience of a particular state as ideal based on its achievement on some aspects of development. Since good performance in one dimension does not ensure doing well in other dimensions too, it would be inappropriate to look only at the overall measure of development, ignoring the achievements in the three sub-measures and the eight dimensions. Recognition of such diversity of performance is particularly important in a federal structure, like India, where different states may have different development priorities. This book will enable states to reflect on whether they have been performing according to their priorities and if not, they may choose to their policies or their development strategies.…

While some argue that it promotes economic growth that translates into social progress others believe that it is detrimental to social advancement. There is a broad consensus in the international community that all states should be urged to improve their social conditions a position most strongly articulated in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) declaration of the United Nations. Globalization and the Millennium Development Goals brings together conceptual and empirical insights in the interaction of globalization and the social sectors focusing especially on the MDGs. Some of the papers included here explicitly look at the Indian experience with social progress in the context of globalization. The volume with introductory remarks by Meghnad Desai reflects the multifarious views regarding the interplay between economic development and social progress and attempts to answer the question can globalization have a human face. 260 pp.…
