Five years of special economic zones in India' - lecture by Dr. Partho Sarothi Ray, National Institute of Advanced Studies, June 27, 2011, Bangalore
Posted on 23 Jun, 2011 05:11 PM

National Institute of Advanced StudiesOrganizer: National Institute of Advanced Studies

Venue: Lecture Hall, NIAS, IISc Campus, Bangalore

Description:

Five years have passed since the first United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government passed the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Act in 2005. Altogether there are around 1200 SEZs in different phases of development today. Analyzing the development and distribution of SEZs in different parts of India in the last five years gives us some ideas about the political geography of special economic zones in India.

This talk will draw on this analysis and the personal experience of the speaker in struggles against various SEZs in India including the proposed POSCO SEZ in Orissa which has received a very strong farmers’ resistance.
