Welcome to my webpage. I am an
Associate Professor of
Political Science at
University of Wisconsin-Madison, where
I teach Comparative Politics. My research has
focused on the political economy of India, comparative federalism,
India-China comparisons, and international sources of change in
developing countries. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison I am
affiliated with the Center for South
Asia, the
World Affairs in the Global Economy
and Global Studies.
I organised a conference on India's democracy in 2001 and am part of
a APSA
Taskforce on Difference and Inequality in the Developing world.
I spent an year at the
Woodrow Wilson International Center
in Washington DC as a Fellow in 2004-2005.
My current research project
relates to local-global linkages in developing countries,
particularly India, focusing especially on the role of domestic
institutions, interests, and international trade institutions. I am
completing a book: When David Meets Goliath: How Global Trade
Rules Shape Domestic Politics in India. My publications include
a prize winning book,
The Regional Roots of Developmental Politics in India: A Divided
Leviathan
(Indiana: Indiana University Press, 2005), and journal articles on
federalism, subnational comparisons in India, India and China, on
business collective action in India. I am part of a recently
published book, edited by Edward Friedman and Bruce Gilley, Asia's
Giants: Comparing India and China (Palgrave, Macmillian, 2005).
