| Summary/Abstract |
Contemporary globalisation is viewed both as offering immense opportunities and posing a fundamental threat to the nation-state and democratic governance. To the proponents of globalisation, integration into the world economy through liberalisation of foreign trade and capital flows, combined with deregulation of the national economy, promises greater economic efficiency, higher consumption levels and generally improved living standards. For them, state intervention in the economy aimed at restricting the free play of market forces is dysfunctional, resulting in lower social and economic benefits for the population at large. Within this optimistic perspective, globalisation is thought likely to 'flatten' economic differences between nations1 and lead to a 'borderless world',2 where the barriers to flows of capital, technology, and information will be minimised if not totally removed.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is no great secret that the UPA government has not been quite happy
with the functioning of the Ministry of Development of the North Eastern
Region (DoNER). The Centre's development funds for the Northeast
have rarely been utilized as they were meant to be, and the utilization
reports as well as the detailed accounts for projects have rarely been
submitted in time (if at all) and there have been serious allegations of
large sums of money being siphoned out to private coffers. All said and
done, there were legitimate complaints that the DoNER Ministry was
functioning inefficiently. As a consequence, a parliamentary committee
was appointed to look into the functioning of the DoNER Ministry and
to make recommendations. Not surprisingly, the committee has
recommended that the Union government dissolve the DoNER Ministry
and put it under the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

| Summary/Abstract |
Electoral success during the reform process requires maintaining a prudent balance in meeting the requirements of the two basic state functions of accumulation and legitimacy. Initially, the Congress-led UPA government was the unintended beneficiary of the economic acceleration resulting from a global boom and the earlier economic reforms in aid of accumulation. The growth acceleration, however, also escalated rising expectations. In the effort to advance its legitimacy in order to assure continuance in power, the UPA government emphasized a distributive strategy to the neglect of accumulation. However, the rupture in growth acceleration because of external shock and internal economic mismanagement aggravated the loss of legitimacy stemming from a series of corruption scandals. The consequence was the emergence of an enormous “gap” between rising expectations and the existing reality of economic stagnation and high inflation. It is in the context of this gap that the Congress Party suffered its most severe electoral defeat in history.
