Turbulence ahead: Labour and struggles in times of the Covid-19 pandemic in India
One year into the Covid-19 pandemic, India is in the midst of a struggle over its future economic and social relations. During this period, the Indian state has pursued policies that have further intensified labour exploitation and widened inequality. These policies can be located in prior struggles to reproduce conditions for accumulation and to resolve the crisis of social reproduction. This article argues that this process is likely to continu…
Class Dynamics of Development
This book argues that class relations are constitutive of development processes and central to understanding inequality within and between countries. It does so via a transdisciplinary approach that draws on case studies from Asia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. Contributors illustrate and explain the diversity of forms of class relations, and the ways in which they interplay with other social relations of dominance and subordination, such…
Class dynamics of development: A methodological note
This article argues that class relations are constitutive of development processes and central to understanding inequality within and between countries. Class is conceived as arising out of exploitative social relations of production, but is formulated through and expressed by multiple determinations. The article illustrates and explains the diversity of forms of class relations, and the ways in which they interplay with other social relations of…
Diverse trajectories of industrial restructuring and labour organising in India
It is often claimed that industrial restructuring leads to diminished roles for trade unionism and other forms of labour organisations by informalising employment and relocating production. Drawing on selected case studies from long-term fieldwork in regions of India, this article shows that trajectories of industrial restructuring and the responses by organised labour over the past two decades have been diverse. It is argued that the diverse res…
Rethinking labour market institutions in Indian industry: Forms, Functions and Socio-Historical Contexts
The emerging literature on institutional functionalism opens opportunities for historically and socially sensitive analysis of institutions, especially if it is complemented by a material understanding of institutions and their location within the wider social structure. This paper engages constructively with the 'credibility' thesis in institutional economics by developing an alternative materialist conception of labour market institutions (LMIs…
Rebels from the mud houses: Dalits and the making of the Maoist revolution in Bihar
This is a powerfully motivated and passionately committed study of the armed Maoist movement and its entrenched warfare with the state and the upper caste private militia in Eastern India. It does
Class Struggle or Embedded Markets? Marx, Polanyi and the Meanings and Possibilities of Social Transformation
Marx and Polanyi both held that socialism, in one form or another, was a preferable and possible alternative to capitalism. Their ideas are seen to offer theoretical tools to understand the tensions and contradictions of capitalism, and to inform ways to overcome them. This paper discusses Polanyi's work from a Marxist perspective in order to illuminate his strengths and weaknesses. Its main focus is to discuss Polanyi's juxtaposing of commodific…
Emerging Consensus on Labour Market Institutions and Implications for Developing Countries: From the Debates in India
This paper makes a critical intervention to on-going theoretical and policy debates in the economic analysis of labour market institutions (LMIs) in the context of recent debates in India. It focuses on the internal inconsistency of mainstream economic analyses of LMIs, in particular those based on the new institutional economics (NIE) approach, and what appears to be an emerging policy consensus on LMIs within the World Bank and the Internationa…
