{"product_id":"state-business-relations-and-economic-development-kunal-sen-9780415630009","title":"State-Business Relations and Economic Development in Africa and India","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the state and business interact effectively they can promote a more efficient allocation of scarce resources, appropriate industrial policy and a more effective and prioritised removal of key obstacles to growth, than when the two sides fail to co-operate or engage in harmful collusion. This book, based on original empirical research undertaken in Africa and India, addresses what constitutes the effectiveness of state-business relations, what explains their formation and evolution over time and whether effective state-business relations matter for economic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnalysing the effects of state-business relations on economic performance at both the macro and micro levels, the book concludes that where effective state-business relations are established - either through formal or informal institutional patterns and relationships - the growth effects are generally positive. Establishing, sustaining and renewing effective state-business relations are political processes. The better organized the business community and the government are for purposes of such relations, the more effective state-business relations will be in negotiating growth enhancing policies. The book is of interest to researchers in the fields of development studies, management, economics and political science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kunal Sen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415630002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415630009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Kunal Sen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064939655423,"sku":"9780415630009","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_acdf9493-e50e-4c0f-94a8-a4912cad3291.jpg?v=1768672057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/state-business-relations-and-economic-development-kunal-sen-9780415630009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
