Summary

Volume 2: The Indian economy has successfully integrated itself with the rest of the world in the past two decades. Not only has its external-trade (share in global-trade) grown considerably, but it has also received significantly higher FDI and FII inflows. As a result, India is considered among the foremost beneficiaries of globalization. However, this development is only one side of the story and it has been achieved at a cost of policy independence and increased sensitivity to external shocks. This volume illustrates such costs and attempts to redefine the priorities for a low per-capita income nation like India.
