Coping with Global Institutional Change: A Tale of India's Textile and Pharmaceutical Industries

The increased governance of international trade through supra-national institutions like the WTO has led to the need for national trade and organizational strategies to be compatible with global norms. This book examines how India's textile and pharmaceutical industries coped with two sector-specific global institutional changes initiated and implemented by the WTO in 2005 through coordinated efforts in the multi-level national institutional system. The findings show both convergence and divergence across the two industries in the processes and outcomes of dealing with global institutional change, which can be of interest to national policymakers and scholars in multiple disciplines.
