Special Economic Zones in India: Myths and Realities (Anthem South Asian Studies)

Special Economic Zones (SEZs), introduced in February 2006, are one of the stiffest challenges for India's economic policy reforms. The emotionally charged debate on SEZs has often produced inflexible positions on either side. The unusually strong public reaction has also forced policymakers to revisit several aspects of the policy in recent months. As the first book on India's SEZs, this volume examines different popular perceptions - both good and bad - surrounding these zones.
