Example text
In the chapters to come, I intend to show that the dominant ideational influence on Indian policymaking shifted between the 1890s and 1990s from being non-globalist with a perception of dispersed rivalries toward strong globalism with a sense of dense international rivalry. This evolution of globalism and rivalry eventually privileged India’s international goals over domestic political demands, and helped justify outward orientation to domestic constituencies, providing stronger incentives for policy continuity toward openness.
49 The following year’s report continued a similar policy emphasis. It urged for reforms in agriculture, and more investment in social sectors and infrastructure. ”50 The Bank’s Country Memoran- The politics of causes and consequences 29 dum for 1996 took stock of the first five years of reform. 51 The Bank’s 1998 Macroeconomic Update reemphasized the large public sector deficit (about 6 percent of GDP) as the major outstanding concern. Again, the report advocated fiscal reforms at the levels of central as well as state governments, overall tax reforms, and the need to strengthen the financial sector and to accelerate privatization.
Both of these obligations have directly affected India’s external trade. They exist specifically to ensure that imports remain under a liberal, and possibly free, regime. But these policy commitments in the import sector were politically controversial to maintain. It was easy for opponents of openness to point to these and invoke protectionist sentiments or arguments that drew attention to national sovereignty. But precisely because import control is such a politically charged issue, commitments to keep imports free from control needed to be ensconced through international obligations such as these, so that they survive changes in government.
