Twenty Years of India’s Liberalisation: Experiences and Lessons
India’s growth miracle has attracted worldwide attention, particularly because this growth has been pursuant to the wide ranging economic reforms introduced in the early 1990s. Many other developing countries intensified liberalisation during this period but were unable to experience a similar spurt in their economic growth. One distinctive feature of Indian liberalisation experience is the gradual and calibrated manner in which reforms were introduced, especially with respect to external liberalisation, be it in the financial, agricultural or manufacturing sector. This book brings together distinguished economists from India, who analyse the role played by trade and foreign direct investment polices in growth and development of different sectors in India.

Investment Policy Review: Mozambique
The Investment Policy Review recommends that the Government of Mozambique widen the scope of its investment promotion efforts and further improve its regulatory framework in order to foster economic activity, job creation and sustainable development. It encourages the authorities to look beyond mega-projects and investments in the mining sector for sources of job creation, economic diversification and poverty reduction. It warns against the potential pitfalls of relying excessively on mineral resources for development, while stressing the need to maximise the positive impact of investment in extractive industries. It also suggests concrete ways through which the business environment could be further improved to foster economic activity.

India: A New Player in Asian Production Networks?
While the international policy network phenomenon has accelerated trade and investment linkages between countries in East and South-East Asia, the remainder of the region has not matched those countries in this process. The objective of this study is to explore the reasons for this by using India’s performance in the Asian IPNs as a case study for other countries that are trailing behind in this area. The study seeks to identify the reasons why India has performed below its potential in this new form of international division of labour, even though that country possess several supportive factors including: (a) the sheer size of the economy and population; (b) a large pool of engineers; (c) relatively sound intellectual property protection; and (d) an increasingly open trade and investment climate resulting from progressive economic reforms.
