Globalization and Local Development in India : Examining
the Spatial Dimension
Frédéric Landy
and Basudeb Chaudhuri (eds)
This collective volume brings together the
interdisciplinary work of a group of French social science scholars who have
specialized on India. By focusing on the different levels or ‘scales’ of
development—local, regional, national and international—of India in the last
few decades, multidisciplinary perspectives from geography, economics,
anthropology, sociology, agronomy and history try to highlight the complexity
of the Indian development process, in particular the fact that India’s
development cannot be pinpointed down as occurring at one single level.
Most of the essays are based on fieldwork in India,
and the introduction raises methodological and conceptual issues on
globalization from a specifically French social science perspective. This book
will be useful to students and researchers who are interested in both sectoral
studies and also a wider social science perspective on India development, with
a very realistic appraisal of globalization and its impact on India. The
long-term perspectives that are highlighted in this book will enable both
scholars and a wider audience to evaluate the strengths and the problems that
face India’s economy and its vibrant democracy.
