India Arriving: A New Member of the Global Elite? October 22, 2008

Rafiq Dossani, Executive Director of South Asia Initiative, Shorenstein APARC, Stanford Uni.

Behind India’s recent emergence is a political change that transferred power from its capital, New Delhi, to the individual states. Dr. Dossani explores the implications of this political change for economic growth. He argues that this political change has enabled initiatives in entrepreneurial enterprises and geopolitics that are transforming India and affecting its relations with the world. Given her earlier economic challenges and her rich diversity, India’s story provides important lessons for achieving success in tomorrow’s pluralistic societies.
