Development With a Human Face: a Major Challenge For Globalisation in the 21St Century

Globalisation with a human face is a cliché that evokes hugely mixed responses. While the proponents argue its necessity and irreversibility in bringing global prosperity, the critics argue that it is an utterly commercial and profit seeking model with no trade of equitable development for humanity at large. The book analyses both views in detail by examining experiences of countries and regions. After exploring the challenges and opportunities for India and South Asia, it comprehensively looks at the prospect of a truly 'inclusive' Indian growth. The Indian Government's efforts towards this, in particular, are analysed in some detail. About The Author:- G.P.
