Summary:

Much of the analysis of the impact of globalization remains preoccupied with the state rather than the corporate sector. There has been relatively little detailed analysis of the role of firms, especially the large multi-national conglomerates that have come to dominate South Asia's industrial landscape. This volume examines the South Asian corporate economies in terms of their history and evolution, their modes of corporate governance, and their relationship to the broader political economy.
