Dissertation
Princes, Politicians and Industrialists: India’s Approaches to International Trade Law
Tentatively, I propose to examine the link between the history of capitalist development in India, and the making of the international trade and investment regime in the second half of the twentieth century. I propose to examine how a newly independent India’s participation in the making of a ‘world trade order’ was a key component of the State’s attempts to discipline the speculative behavior of domestic capital, and how the template for this form of State regulation had been laid out in some of its princely states in the earlier half of the century.
