| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The origins and nature of the post-Independence Indian state have been the subject of much research and debate among scholars and political activists. The state has been contradictorily and colourfully characterised as 'strong-weak', 'soft', 'overdeveloped', 'captured', a 'weak developmental state', and more recently as 'a divided Leviathan'-among other metaphors. It seems that India's democratic state has the ability to confound by displaying remarkable adaptability and resilience. Nowhere perhaps is this reflected more vividly than in India's dramatic abandonment, in 1991, of its decades-long commitment to a statist and inward-oriented economy model for an unprecedented and ambitious strategy of global economic integration. |
