This book, based on original empirical research undertaken in Africa and India, addresses what constitutes the effectiveness of state-business relations, what explains their formation and evolution over time and whether effective state-business relations matter for economic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnalysing the effects of state-business relations on economic performance at both the macro and micro levels, the book concludes that where effective state-business relations are established – either through formal or informal institutional patterns and relationships – the growth effects are generally positive. Establishing, sustaining and renewing effective state-business relations are political processes. The better organized the business community and the government are for purposes of such relations, the more effective state-business relations will be in negotiating growth enhancing policies. The book is of interest to researchers in the fields of development studies, management, economics and political science.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54465548484952,"sku":"9780415630009","price":204.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415630009_87539de7-3ad4-4e67-ad8e-fe9d33e8fe03.jpg?v=1769101232","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/state-business-relations-and-economic-development-in-africa-and-india","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
