posted on 2011-01-20, 10:00 authored by Anupa ChadhaThis is a study of India's major cities and how they are faring under the conditions of
contemporary globalisation. This contemporary globalisation is a part of the economic globalisation that took place in India especially after 1991, when the new economic policies were incorporated. These new economic policies were targeted at making India integrate into the larger world economy by introducing more open trade. The sectors that received major attention under the new policies were industrial and the services sector as a whole with
particular emphasis on producer services (banking and insurance). As a result of liberalisation and privatisation of these sectors many new producer services firms came up in major Indian cities. Therefore, the main focus is on the inter-city relations based upon the type of advance
producer services firms that are operating from these cities. Also it looks at the nodes that the major Indian cities form in larger world city network.
