Democratic development state in India.
Indian Journal of Public Administration, 62(2), 2016(Apr-
Jun): p.226-248.
The idea of developmental state emerged mostly in the
late industrialising countries which were lagging behind
the developed countries of the world. Chalmers Johnson
coined the term 'developmental state' in the context of
Japan, which was later replicated in South Korea. The
rise of East Asian Developmental States can be attributed
to the proactive role played by the respective states of
these countries. A variation of the developmental state
can be seen in the case of India. It combined both
developmental goals and democratic ideals. In the
process, it maintained a moderate growth in terms of per
capita GDP as well sustained democracy with a brief
interlude of the emergency regime of Indira Gandhi. The
article tries to evaluate India's developmental as well
democratic credentials to date in seeking to apply the
concept of 'democratic developmental state' formulated by
Gordon White and Mark Robinson. - Reproduced.

The article analyses organizational structures and
coordination mechanisms for crisis management in six
European countries, focusing on the prevalence of
hierarchical and network arrangements, administrative
culture and perceptions of coordination quality. Our main
research question concerns the importance of
collaboration and cooperation in the management of
crises. We apply a structural-instrumental and a cultural
perspective, and examine data on formal organizational
structures as well as survey data from administrative
executives. The mapping reveals hybrid coordination
arrangements with different national 'flavours'. The
survey data show that the executives accorded significant
weight to coordination, but the use of different
coordination mechanisms was only loosely linked to their
assessments of coordination quality. Our findings support
a view of public administration as a largely composite
system combining contradictory organizational principles
that have evolved through institutional layering.
National context and the specific challenges from
different types of crises therefore influence crisis
management capacity profoundly.

The menace of narco power in Pakistan .
Indian Journal of Public Administration, 62(2), 2016(Apr-

This article seeks to analyse the menace of narco power
in Pakistan. The 1980s, in the aftermath of the Afghan
crisis, witnessed the rise of narco power in Pakistan.
The narco power, which has assumed the role of one of the
central pillars of the power structure in Pakistan,
reveals triangular linkages and nexus between narcotics
and politicians, army and ISI, and terrorism. Drug
syndicates also run a parallel economy. The article also
takes into account the relationship between narcotics and
civil society to depict the menace of drug addiction and
ethnic violence. With their penetration of state
institutions, economy, and society, the narco barons
today are the most formidable force threatening the
government's authority, political stability, and the
economic and social equilibrium of the society. -

Determinants of information and communication technology
adoption in municipalities.
American Review of Public Administration, 46(3), 2016(M
ay): p.292-313.
Local governments use various technologies to enhance
responsiveness to citizens' demands and to improve
efficiency. However, the determinants for technology
adoption may vary by the type of technology used. We
separately examine the adoption of two different types of
information and communication technologies (ICTs):
intranet, which increases efficiencies within an
organization, and e-services, which aim to increase
efficiencies for the public and government agencies.
Using 2012 data collected from a national random survey
of the managers in 500 municipal governments with
populations ranging from 25,000 to 250,000, we find that
organizational centralization, work routineness, and
personnel constraints are related to the adoption of both
intranet and e-services, but that these relationships are
mediated by an organization's risk-taking culture. We
also find that external stakeholder influence is
positively related to ICT use. Governmental stakeholder
influence is related to intranet adoption, and non-
governmental stakeholder influence is related to the
adoption of e-services. Our study highlights the
importance of understanding the dynamics by which
different ICTs are adopted. A main contribution lies in
the finding that risk-taking culture mediates the
relationship between structural constraints and ICT
adoption in municipal governments. - Reproduced.

Examining mobility in international development.
Social Problems, 63(3), 2016(Aug): p.329-350.
International development scholars routinely test for
convergence across a range of outcomes, including income,
health, and education. However, the extent to which
countries have reordered themselves along the development
hierarchy receives less attention. Accordingly, the
present analysis features a systematic examination of
cross-national mobility in international development. I
first introduce a generic model of mobility in which
country-level movement is a function of several factors,
including initial inequality, growth dynamics, and
temporal span. I then show that observed mobility rates
across several development indicators (gross domestic
product per capita [GDP PC], human development index
[HDI], and life expectancy) are significantly lower than
what the generic model predicts. An investigation of
longitudinal trends shows that mobility rates have been
declining since the 1980s and that the discrepancy
between expected and observed mobility has grown wider
during this time. Mobility rates appear to be hindered by
the lack of large-scale mobility among upper tier
countries (where mobility patterns are more favorable
than expected) and lower tier countries (where mobility
patterns are less favorable than expected). Overall, the
results are consistent with propositions derived from
world-system theory regarding the relative stability of
the core/periphery hierarchy. In sum, the analysis of
mobility can serve as a useful complement to existing
research and produces an image of development and change
not typically found in convergence studies. - Reproduced.

Economic and Political Weekly, 41(35), 2016(27 Aug):
p.72-81.
A measure of economic policy uncertainty or EPU for India
is constructed to study its impact on the economy. It is
found that gross domestic product growth and fixed
investment are negatively related to EPU in India. For
instance, if the economic uncertainty were to decrease to
the level observed in 2005, India's GDP growth would
increase by 0.56%, and fixed investment growth would
increase by 1.36%. Additionally, a negative correlation
between the Bombay Stock Exchange index and EPU in India
is observed, suggesting that increases in EPU lower
expectations of future growth or increase perceived risk
of listed stocks. Lastly, it is found that firm-level
capital expenditure rates are lowered when EPU increases.
