Selling to India's Consumer Market by Douglas Bullis (Hardcover - Quorum Books)
This work goes beyond the usual superficial accounts found in the usual import/export books and provides something truly unique: an in-depth analysis of what India needs from the rest of the world, not what the world can get out of India. What most businesspeople don't know, and what is crucial if they are to succeed in their transactions with India, is what India needs from them--and not always is this mere capital. Bullis describes the rise of India's middle class and consumer economy since 1991, and in doing so provides readers with what very few outsiders know: how India really works. The result is an essential resource for corporate management in marketing, sales, strategic planning and investment, and important collateral reading for students and teachers of international business.

The Puzzle of India's Governance by Subrata K. Mitra (Hardcover - Routledge)

India no longer gets an easy ride as the world's largest democracy. Spectacular terrorist attacks on India's Parliament and places of worship, communal riots of unprecedented ferocity, lingering separatist insurgency and violent caste conflict in impoverished regions have combined to cause a closer appraisal of India's capacity to sustain the rule of law.

This book examines how India has been able to sustain democratic governance while undergoing substantial social, economic and political changes through a neo-institutional rational choice model of governance, bounded by local culture and context. The author applies the central logic of bounded rationality to fresh data, derived through quantitative and qualitative methods from a geographically diverse, multi-ethnic, post-colonial state. It sheds light on governance in India and generates findings relevant to cross-national studies of governance. By drawing on the logic of human ingenuity, driven by self-interest rather than mechanical adherence to tradition, solicitude to abide by rules and innovating new procedures when it suits them, the book shows how elites can enhance governance through appropriate policies, institutions and processes.

This book will be invaluable to researchers and students on South Asia and will be of significant interest to those studying governance and the rational actor model.

Dying the Good Death by Christopher Justice (Paperback - Illustrated)
Based on fieldwork conducted in Kashi's hospices or 'mansions of liberation, ' Christopher Justice introduces us to a number of dying individuals and their families, providing rich and evocative descriptions of their remarkable experiences. The social contexts of these experiences are explored through descriptions of the families who provide care and the priests who chant the name of God twenty-four hours a day. The book also has clear implications for the potential ways in which we may choose to face the ends of our lives.
