This volume brings together leading political economists of India to provide an in-depth analysis of the political economy of globalized India. It explores how neoliberal policies have exacerbated inequalities, weakened democratic institutions, and undermined key pillars of sustainable development. Through a wide range of perspectives, the chapters examine critical issues such as the erosion of equitable growth, the decline of decent employment opportunities, the marginalization of distributive justice, the deepening of gender disparities, and the challenges to geopolitical stability. The contributors also address the impact of neoliberalism on social democracy, employment-driven industrial restructuring, and environmental sustainability, offering a vital resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone concerned with India's developmental trajectory.
