The global capitalism has entered into a new and distinct phase, wherein liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation (commonly called LPG) is a central theme. Almost every country, particularly the developing countries, are on the agenda of international monopolies and international financial capital which are controlled and regulated by the industrially developed nations. The vulnerable economies all over the world are being forced to liberalise their economies resulting in unfavourable balance of competitive forces on their side. Free trade rules are dismantling the ‘License Raj’ meant for business and industry under the dictate of global corporations. Market forces have been given once again a primacy to make the major economic decisions. “The free trade systems of small producers and poor consumers are being dismantled and being made illegal in order to create free trade systems for big business and global corporations.”1 All these have been the outcome of certain policy initiatives and developments that have taken place at the national and international level especially since the 1980s.
Reforms may be taken as the changes deliberately brought about policy matrix with a view to improving the state of affairs or ameliorating the situation. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the impact of new liberal policies initiated by Govt. of India during early nineties on India's industrial relations landscape, coupled with the evolution of labour and social security legislations aimed at assuaging workers' concerns. Over 38 years, from 1981 to 2018, it examines key dimensions: dispute frequency, workforce involvement, and time loss. Additionally, it critically evaluates India's labour and social security laws since independence, including the New Labour Codes 2019-20, in light of labour class anxieties stemming from neoliberal policies. The book proposes policy recommendations to mitigate discontent, fostering a healthier industrial relations climate and more inclusive labour reforms. Designed as a valuable reference, it targets academics and researchers.
