The global political and economic context was important. The Indian economy embraced globalization after 1991. These policies have produced rapid economic growth. Telecommunications, banks, airlines and stock markets and the information technology (IT) sector have boomed in India, and the country is attracting substantial foreign investment. India has a vibrant corporate sector and a middle class. Powered by a world class IT sector, the country is dubbed “the back office of the world” at a time when China is considered the “workshop”. The availability of electricity, dismal literacy rates, poor public health facilities, and slow rates of growth of Indian agriculture, pose a challenge for India’s economic development. This module will discuss how this economic transformation occurred in a democracy. What does it promise? And, what are the challenges for the sustainability of the Indian economic transformation? Students are encouraged to think about the relationship between politics and economics in shaping India’s economic policies.

\nLecture 1: Introduction: Globalization, Politics & Economic Change in India
\nWe will discuss what this module seeks to achieve.

These include the caste system, powerful political actors such as the industrial class, the middle class and the farmers.

\n
\nLecture 2: Two Views about economics, politics and policy
\nThis lecture will try to provide two conceptual lenses about politics economics and policy in India. The first will the lens that views the impact of powerful social actors on economic policy as being important. The second is the view that how the state thinks is also important. The two views could be viewed as being complimentary.

\n
\nLecture 3: India’s Industrialization I: 1947-1974
\nThis lecture will discuss India’s industrialization since independence from British rule in 1947 through 1974. This was a period when the government controlled the economy, and trade was not considered to be good for economic development. It will discuss why India preferred economic self-reliance to trade at a time when many Asian countries embraced globalization. You will note that politics is an essential ingredient of economic policy.

\n
\nLecture 4: Globalization, Industrial Deregulation and the Business Class: 1975-Present
\nThis lecture will tell the story of India’s deregulation and globalization. Why did the government withdraw its control over business and emphasize the importance of trade over a period of time? This was as much a political as an economic process. Did some groups resist these initiatives? It is these changes in policies that have produced rapid economic growth in India. Were these changes driven by domestic political and economic reasons or by external pressure? What was the role of the business class in this entire process?

\nLecture 5: The Back-Office of the World: The Information Technology Sector
\nIf China is the “workshop” of the world, India is its “back office”. India’s globalization became evident when it became a major provider for information technology services for the major fortune 500 companies of the world. Over time, much of this work could be carried out in India using the Internet. How did this transformation occur and what are its consequences?

\nLecture 7: The Development of Indian Agriculture
\nMajority of the Indians live in the villages. The country experienced a draught that could have become a famine. This possibility led to technological and agricultural investments, which have inspired the green revolution and made the country self-sufficient in food grains. Did farmer’s politics play a role in the promotion of agriculture? What was the role of economists and foreign funding in this story? Agricultural growth had declined in the new millennium and the government has increased investments in that sector.

\nLecture 8: Infrastructure: Telecommunications & Power
\nIndia’s political economy is capable of producing the best and the worst physical infrastructure in the world. Why is India’s telecommunications sector among the most efficient in the world, whereas India’s cities and villages suffer from incessant power cuts? Please note the interaction between politics, economics and policy. Telecommunications services became exceptional after the introduction of private companies. Electricity generation, on the other hand, is an area where farmers refuse to pay their bills and private investments play a much smaller role.

\nDiscussion Group Questions and the Paper
\nTutorial sessions will discuss student papers that carry 25% of the grade. They will also be used to discuss any other issues emerging from class lectures.
\nThe paper discussed in the tutorial class could be a single authored paper or a co-authored paper that carries 25% of the grade. A single authored paper should be between 1500-2000 words and a jointly authored (two authors) one could range between 3500-4000 words. A draft of the paper will be discussed in the discussion sessions and must be submitted for evaluation the week after the presentation. Students who present their work in weeks 5 (session II) will get an extra week to submit their papers.
\nStudents should generate a paper topic on their own. The discussion and the paper must engage with the theme of the class. You can set up your presentation as defending or opposing a point of view expressed in the readings.
\na. Students are encouraged to take up a current issue that relates to the readings. For example, if you are presenting industrialization, you may wish to analyze current events such as privatization, foreign investment, or trade with Southeast Asia. You may also pick up an industrial sector and tell us whether the theories addressed in the lecture speak to the evolution of that sector. If you are writing on welfare you may want to discuss progress in the employment literacy promotion, problems facing women, etc., that speak to key economic policy issues and approaches discussed in class.
\nb. There are a number of ways in which you can structure your presentation and paper. We can discuss these depending on your inclination.

\n15% of the grade is for the mid-term exam. Students have the choice of opting out of the mid-term exam by writing a second 1000 word paper. This paper will be due in class after the mid-term exam.
\n25% of the grade is for writing a 1500-2000 words paper. This paper will be based on the presentation made during the tutorial and will be due the week after the tutorial.
