WTO, Globalization and Indian Agriculture

Globalization trends of the recent past have impacted the world economies immensely, particularly those of developing countries. Countries worldwide are reshaping their economic and trade policies to meet the challenges of new rules of trade under the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the intense competition unleashed by the forces of globalization. The changed economic milieu has affected the Indian economy - more so in the agricultural sector - in several ways. India's stagnating agriculture has aggravated the urgency for debate on how to meet the challenges of new rules of the game under the WTO and globalization. This book contains 11 research papers which provide deep insights into the various dimensions of the impact of the new world economic order on agriculture in India.
