International trade and investment across countries, both developed and developing economies, are a major source of economic growth by improving allocative efficiency of resources and rapid flow of advanced technologies. Several developing and socialist economies that pursued inward orientation since the last forty years started to open up their economies for international trade and investment. Countries that had initial endowment of industrial, technological endowments, and basic institutions have able to take advantage of this phenomenon. India fits this bill. It acquired basic industrial, technological, and capitalist institutions. The reforms operate on the basis of these endowments. The objective of the book is to trace out the underlying theoretical and empirical factors that demonstrate the effect of the reforms It explains the reason for dividing the book into two part: (1) International Trade Behaviour: the Pre-reform Era and (2) International Trade and Investment Behaviour: The Post-reform era.Less

This introductory chapter describes the thematic framework of this study, arguing that continuity rather than change forms the experiences of low-income women in the post-reform era. Drawing on anecdotes of these womens' experiences from the periods before and after the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), or welfare reform, was implemented in 1997, this chapter illustrates how the experiences of women navigating the worlds of welfare and low-wage work since reform differed from those of the women studied prior to reform. Though the chapter outlines some marked differences between the pre- and post-reform era, it indicates several expecations between the two time periods which had not been met—particularly in how the women interviewed in the mid-2000s described the same problems and the same distrust in much the same ways as women interviewed in the mid-1990s.Less
