"The book investigates foreign direct investment (FDI) strategies in four important emerging economies: Egypt, India, South Africa and Vietnam. These countries liberalized their economies in the 1990s with the intention of attracting greater FDI inflows. This book assesses whether they have been successful in achieving this goal. The authors adopt a comparative perspective and use a large enterprise survey plus three individual case studies in each country. They investigate the strategies of foreign direct investors focusing on the relationship between the investment climate, the mode of entry (acquisition, greenfield or joint venture), company performance, and spillovers to the host economy. The book outlines how the interactions between international businesses and the local policy environment influence the entry strategies of firms. Academics and researchers with an interest in international business, emerging markets, economic development and strategic management will find this book informative and insightful."--BOOK JACKET.

Vidarbha – a major cotton growing region in central India has been the epicentre of a protracted agrarian crisis. Chronic indebtedness and farmers' suicides continue unabated despite decades of state intervention. Going beyond the contemporary discourse that finds fault in neoliberal policies and integration with global markets, this fascinating book tells the story of how nineteenth century 'accidents' particularly in the form of colonial policies and the American Civil War ushered in institutional transformations that shaped the region's cotton economy. By drawing insights from their longitudinal study in villages of the region spanning 12 years, Gaurav and Ranganathan present the 'gambles' that farmers are part of. The novelty of combining a long view of history and evidence based on primary field research results in a book that underscores the importance of investigating roots of agrarian crisis and paying attention to adjustments of farm households, at a crucial juncture in India's economic transformation.
"Tirthankar Roy and Anand V. Swamy trace India's economic growth since 1947 and the legal reforms that have allowed it to settle in, however unevenly and tenuously, in the shadow of the stagnating effects of colonial rule. Law and the Economy in a Young Democracy portrays a long shadow of Indian "path dependence"-the persistence of colonial-era legal practices and institutions-interrupted by a series of reactive, dramatic departures from colonial inertia aimed at achieving quick or corrective growth and regulation. Roy and Swamy address five principal questions: How have new laws emerged in India? Does the explanation lie with colonialism or with post-independence politics and economic chang...
Pendant la durZe de ma scolaritZ du primaire (1952-1960), je nÕavais jamais eu lÕoccasion de voir un dictionnaire. Le premier ^ passer par mes mains fut le Dictionnaire Latin-Fran ais que je re us en janvier 1961, en classe de 6e latine. Ce fut un vZritable dZlice que dÕavoir sous mes yeux cette liste impeccable de mots, dans les deux langues. Chaque fois que je consultais ce dictionnaire bilingue, je ne cessais de me poser la question de savoir pourquoi je nÕavais pas pu disposer dÕun tel outil didactique au moment o , parlant dZj^ le Ciluba depuis ma naissance, je dZbutais laborieusement lÕZtude du Fran ais, ^ lÕ0/00ge de 10 ans. CÕest en rZponse ^ cette question que jÕai Zcrit ce livre. JÕai tenu ^ le publier non pas sous la forme dÕun dictionnaire en ligne, uniquement accessible aux internautes, mais sous celle dÕun vrai livre de papier, dZdiZ aux enfants lubaphones, qui ont aujourdÕhui lÕ0/00ge que jÕavais en 1956.
