Infrastructure, PPP and Law for Executives
PPP (public-private partnership) is a buzzword, especially in growing economies like India where it takes a partnership between the government and a private entity to establish successful infrastructural projects.However, PPPs in India face many hurdles that lead to either long delays or surprisingly, sometimes early completion of PPP projects, but with quality getting compromised. This book will take readers inside the world of PPPs and show how the legal, regulatory and political environments have facilitated or obstructed the speedy enforcement of plans for the creation of requisite infrastructure in India.With the help of various case studies, the book discusses the legal and regulatory issues in different sectors of infrastructure in India such as power, telecom, rail, air, road and sea. In addition to discussing challenges faced by them, the book emphasizes that a proper legal framework with effective regulations is necessary to monitor and regulate the creation and management of public goods. From funding to legal issues, Infrastructure, PPP and Law for Executives shows what it takes for the safe sailing for PPPs in India. Written primarily from a managerial perspective, the book will be of interest to business managers, lawyers, government executives and anyone with serious interest in infrastructure development in India.

The making of India : the untold story of British enterprise
The story of this book begins in the seventeenth century, when a small sea-faring island, one tenth the size of the Indian subcontinent, despatched sailing ships over 11,000 miles on a five-month trading journey in search of new opportunities. In the end they helped build a new nation. The sheer audacity and scale of such an endeavour, the courage and enterprise, have no parallel in world history. This book is the first to assess in a single volume almost all aspects of Britain's remarkable contribution in providing India with its lasting institutional and physical infrastructure, which continues to underpin the world's largest democracy in the twenty-first century.

Securitization in India
India needs to spend close to Rs43 trillion (about $646 billion) on infrastructure through to 2022. Such a staggering requirement cannot be met though traditional sources such as public sector bank loans. India must immediately explore and quickly ramp up financing from alternative investment sources. This paper explores the securitization of existing infrastructure assets by public sector banks in India, as a means to (i) strengthen their capital position to meet Basel III requirements, (ii) free up capital to help fund new credit growth opportunities, and (iii) ultimately improve fund flow to the infrastructure sector by enhancing its access to institutional investors.

Awakening Giants, Feet of Clay
The recent economic rise of China and India has attracted a great deal of attention--and justifiably so. Together, the two countries account for one-fifth of the global economy and are projected to represent a full third of the world's income by 2025. Yet, many of the views regarding China and India's market reforms and high growth have been tendentious, exaggerated, or oversimplified.Awakening Giants, Feet of Clayscrutinizes the phenomenal rise of both nations, and demolishes the myths that have accumulated around the economic achievements of these two giants in the last quarter century. Exploring the challenges that both countries must overcome to become true leaders in the international economy, Pranab Bardhan looks beyond short-run macroeconomic issues to examine and compare China and India's major policy changes, political and economic structures, and current general performance.
Bardhan investigates the two countries' economic reforms, each nation's pattern and composition of growth, and the problems afflicting their agricultural, industrial, infrastructural, and financial sectors. He considers how these factors affect China and India's poverty, inequality, and environment, how political factors shape each country's pattern of burgeoning capitalism, and how significant poverty reduction in both countries is mainly due to domestic factors--not global integration, as most would believe. He shows how authoritarianism has distorted Chinese development while democratic governance in India has been marred by severe accountability failures.
Full of valuable insights,Awakening Giants, Feet of Clayprovides a nuanced picture of China and India's complex political economy at a time of startling global reconfiguration and change.
