  30. GLOBALISATION AND INDIA SHINING • Reform results -- Massive changes: opening to the world, transformed business landscape, IT powerhouse, emerging world-class firms -- But lopsided growth: benefits urban middle classes but not the vast majority of the poor – unlike China

  31. GLOBALISATION AND INDIA SHINING • Reform gaps -- Unreformed agriculture -- Lack of labour-intensive manufacturing and throttled labour markets -- Overregulated, underperforming services sectors -- Remaining trade and FDI barriers -- Remaining capital controls -- The unreformed Indian state

  35. GLOBALISATION AND INDIA SHINING • Politics -- The most difficult country to govern: vast, hugely diverse, split so many different ways -- Messy democratic politics: multi-party coalitions at the centre; kaleidoscope of musical-chair politics in the states -- But advantages (compared with China): unity and stability; checks and balances; British-endowed liberal institutions; the English language; political and civic freedoms

  36. GLOBALISATION AND INDIA SHINING • Focus (1) -- The states in a federal system -- Growth engines in the south and west (with outliers) -- Policy reforms and business transformation: e.g. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana -- Key sectors, NRIs and FDI -- Transformation of India: a bottom-up, not a top-down story

  37. GLOBALISATION AND INDIA SHINING • Focus (2) -- India’s expanding demand for higher (and lower) education: insufficient, low-quality supply; foreign investment prospects; reform hurdles

  38. GLOBALISATION AND INDIA SHINING • Prospects -- The big picture: the new Asian Drama -- Asia’s transformation of the world economy: much more competition; gains for the West and the Rest; but more difficult adaptation required; wider inequalities; the middle-class squeeze; the middle-income trap -- Role of India in the new Asian Drama
