Through a richly detailed examination of India's experience, \u003ci\u003eLocked in Place\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the critical factor was the reaction of domestic capitalists to the state-building project. During the 1950s and 1960s, India launched an extremely ambitious and highly regarded program of state-led development. But it soon became clear that the Indian state lacked the institutional capacity to carry out rapid industrialization. Drawing on newly available archival sources, Vivek Chibber mounts a forceful challenge to conventional arguments by showing that the insufficient state capacity stemmed mainly from Indian industrialists' massive campaign, in the years after Independence, against a strong developmental state. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chibber contrasts India's experience with the success of a similar program of state-building in South Korea, where political elites managed to harness domestic capitalists to their agenda. He then develops a theory of the structural conditions that can account for the different reactions of Indian and Korean capitalists as rational responses to the distinct development models adopted in each country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Provocative and marked by clarity of prose, this book is also the first historical study of India's post-colonial industrial strategy. Emphasizing the central role of capital in the state-building process, and restoring class analysis to the core of the political economy of development, \u003ci\u003eLocked in Place\u003c\/i\u003e is an innovative work of theoretical power that will interest development specialists, political scientists, and historians of the subcontinent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivek Chibber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691126232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691126234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.15w x 0.85d","brand":"Vivek Chibber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890590216447,"sku":"9780691126234","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb579361-e51e-47b8-8e9f-762073e56e99.jpg?v=1709739470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/locked-in-place-vivek-chibber-9780691126234","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
