Synopsis The unique development experience of Kerala has attracted widespread interest. This state has outstripped the rest of the nation in virtually all socio-economic indices and is often held up as a model not just for other Indian states to emulate but also for other developing nations. However, as this volume demonstrates, recent years have revealed a range of problems in the state's pattern of economic growth which have been accentuated subsequent to the introduction of the structural adjustment programme in the country. It is these new and emerging issues which are comprehensively dealt with in this collection of original essays by eminent economists. Providing a data-based and analytical account of the development issues and economic problems of Kerala, this volume will attract the attention of economists, researchers, policy makers and administrators. In particular, it will serve as a basic textbook for all students of Kerala's economy.
