Examining the Fiscal System
(The fiscal architecture of India does not adequately recognise the dynamic role that the government ought to play in economic development. The fiscal system is also found to be insensitive to the spatial dynamics of development. The states which register relatively higher growth, and hence deemed as growth poles of the economy, are poorly endowed in terms of the state government’s ability to provide public services. Same is the case of Indian ci…
Wl-3715)-Trump Tariffs and the International Trade (Dis) Order India Needs a New Trade and Development Strategy
The international trading system is fast drifting away from the ideal of multilateralism. The Trump tariffs have accentuated the crisis that was brewing for some time. They have violated the WTO rule book in multiple ways so that a going back to the WTO disciplines or its founding principles would be difficult. India needs to develop a new trade and development strategy and seize the opportunity of the global reset to redefine her role in the int…
Globalization of Agriculture and Atomization of Farming
Agriculture in Asia is being pushed into a new policy regime that uncritically promotes free trade and laissez faire policies. The World Trade Organization agreement on agriculture, regional preferential trading arrangements (PTAs) and neoliberal policies pursued by the individual nations are the central features of the new regime.

In Kerala, the experiment of democratic decentralization is now nearly two decades old. The present article focuses on one of its weakest links, the failure to generate sustainable livelihood opport…

Regional Cooperation for Whom? A Study of Asean–India FTA in the Context of Plantation/Tropical Products
On account of multilateral and regional integration global governance is taking over hitherto unreached spaces of policy making including internal/domestic policies of nation-states. This is undertaken with the overriding objective of facilitating global accumulation of capital. Because of the competition to woo capital, the nation-states are under pressure to favour monopoly capital even at the expense of other interests such as those of labour,…
Regional Route to Multilateralism
Multilateralism and regionalism are seen as forces that pull the world apart in opposing directions. But, the incentive structure of the new generation PTAs, as they are mostly FTAs, is loaded in favour of freer trade. In FTAs members are free to enter into PTAs with third countries. They also have the freedom to reduce MFN tariffs. In the absence of strong rules of origin, FTA members might also end up competing among themselves to reduce tariff…
