One key feature of global trade over this period has been the growing importance of not only product standards but, importantly, labor, environmental, food safety and social standards. Being essentially a non-tariff barrier, standards have often become critical to market access and essential to sustained competitiveness. This has a clear impact on the manner in which both global and Indian business is conducted now and in the future. It also underlines the need for a new area of enquiry that addresses the following questions: How are the Indian public and private actors? the state, domestic firms, local consumers and society? influencing and being influenced by such standards? Do standards really matter in an overwhelmingly informal production sphere, with consumers deeply segmented on the basis of a highly skewed distribution of income and with the rural population becoming further marginalized? We have limited knowledge about the challenges faced and strategies pursued by these key domestic actors, both public and private. How have they been able to drive these processes and what are their implications for larger concerns with inequalities and the conditions of the poor? How does the omnipresent informality influence compliance, encourage multiple standards and affect the chances of addressing institutional dysfunctionality? What role does regulation play? These are some of the issues dealt with in the book, which has chapters focusing on aspects of specific sectors such as microfinance, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, tea trading, the role of the state and changing consumer influence. 000711861 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000711861 650_0 $$aGlobalization$$xEconomic aspects$$zIndia. 000711861 650_0 $$aInternational economic relations. 000711861 651_0 $$aIndia$$xEconomic conditions$$y1991- 000711861 7001_ $$aDas, Keshab,$$eeditor. 000711861 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tGlobalization and standards$$z8132219937$$w(OCoLC)881439491 000711861 830_0 $$aIndia studies in business and economics. 000711861 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000711861 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-1994-1$$zOnline Access 000711861 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:711861$$pGLOBAL_SET 000711861 980__ $$aEBOOK 000711861 980__ $$aBIB 000711861 982__ $$aEbook 000711861 983__ $$aOnline 000711861 994__ $$a92$$bISE
