LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Micro-Institutional Foundations of Capitalism: Sectoral Pathways to Globalization in China, India, and Russia

What is the relationship between internal development and integration into the global economy in developing countries? How and why do state–market relations differ? And do these differences matter in the post-cold war era of global conflict and cooperation? Drawing on research in China, India, and Russia and examining sectors from textiles to telecommunications, Micro-institutional Foundations of Capitalism introduces a new theory of sectoral pathways to globalization and development.
