The articles presented examine the development of India, China and Japan within the framework of international trade analysis. The author focuses particularly on the problems of Indian industrialization, and examines the effects of the policy changes of the 1980s upon Indian industry. - - Part Two argues that the economic development process is necessarily an area of political economy.
