International Seminar on Institution, Structure and Organization in Globalizing India: Science & Technology, Economy & Society

20-21 January 2012

Venue: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

Call for Paper
Globalization has changed the workings of core structures and institutions and introduced new forms of organization. We need to understand how government works now. We need to understand how large educational and research institutions, science and technology institutions, corporations, judicial bodies, international intergovernmental organizations (IOs) and large non-governmental organizations have adapted their modes of functioning or created new modes of work, regulation and systematization with the new technologies and processes of globalization. The seminar will focus on new economic regulatory structures, structures of law or governance, Indian state mechanisms for infrastructure development through partnership with the private sector, state deregulation and disinvestment policies; macro-level employment schemes, the institutions of the corporate world and the new relationships with workforce.

Last date for receipt of abstracts:  23 October 2011
