Globalisation, corporate strategies, and performance of Indian industries: some grey areas that call for regulatory attention
P. L. Beena
Journal of Social discourse, 3(1): 94-119, 2016
Abstract: The proponents of liberalization policy had argued that he protectionist strategies as part of import-substitution or inward looking industrialisation have made Indian industry less efficient and suggested for adopting outward looking industrialisation strategies especially after 1990s. As against the claims that export-led industrialisation could bring dynamic competition, more diversified industrial sector, efficient growth in output, employment, FDI, enhanced foreign exchange earnings, what have been the economic outcomes of these policies on the ground? The paper argues that the performance of Indian economy since 1990s with respect to the industrialisation objective has not been satisfactory. One basic exclusion under neo-liberal reforms is that the growth experience has been largely ‘jobless’. Discontinuity in the domestic regulatory regime, the new trade regime, financial liberalization, agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) and Trade Related Investment Measures (TRIMs) under WTO regime, desire to gain access to international brand names, Global production networks and technology has also facilitated many mergers and acquisitions including overseas acquisitions. The paper argues for putting reasonable limits on the moves by Indian corporate houses for external financing abroad.

Land-based Financing in Metropolitan Cities in India: The Case of Hyderabad and Mumbai
Sahil Gandhi and Vidyadhar K. Phatak2
Urbanisation May 2016 vol. 1 no. 1
Major cities in developing countries face infrastructure shortage and inadequate financial outlays to overcome it. One way to raise finances is by leveraging the increasing urban land values using different mechanisms. This article studies the experience of land-based financing in the metropolitan cities of Hyderabad and Mumbai in India. It assesses the performance of various mechanisms implemented by the principal urban local bodies and development authorities in these cities by examining their design, collections and utilisation of revenues from land-based financing mechanisms for infrastructure provision. It finds that although land-based financing contributes substantially to revenues of public bodies, there are issues regarding efficacy of design and legal validity that need to be addressed to make it sustainable. Further, the article finds that to a certain extent, some of the public organisations use revenues from land-based financing for capital expenditure.

The Extent, Nature and Distribution of Child Poverty in India
David Gordon and Shailen Nandy
Indian Journal of Human Development July 25, 2016
Despite a long history, research on poverty has only relatively recently examined the issue of child poverty as a distinct topic of concern. This article examines how child poverty and well-being are now conceptualized, defined and measured, and presents a portrait of child poverty in India by social and cultural groups, and by geographic area. In December 2006, the UN General Assembly adopted a definition of child poverty which noted that children living in poverty were deprived of (among other things) nutrition, water and sanitation facilities, access to basic health care services, shelter and education. The definition noted that while poverty hurts every human being ‘it is most threatening and harmful to children, leaving them unable to enjoy their rights, to reach their full potential and to participate as full members of the society’.
Researchers have developed age-specific and gender-sensitive indicators of deprivation which conform to the UN definition of child poverty and which can be used to examine the extent and nature of child poverty in low and middle-income countries. These new methods have ‘transformed the way UNICEF and many of its partners both understood and measured the poverty suffered by children’ (UNICEF, 2009). This article uses these methods and presents results of child poverty in India based on nationally representative household survey data for India.
