Abstract:

This study examines the impact of globalization and religious nationalism on the personal and professional lives of urban Hindu middle class media women. The research demonstrates how newly strengthened forces of globalization and Hindutva shape Indian womanhood. The research rests on various data that reveal how Indian women interpret and negotiate constructed identities. The study seeks to give voice to the objectified by scrutinizing and challenging the stereotypical modern faces of Indian womanhood seen in the narratives of globalization and Hindutva. Feminist open-ended interviewing was conducted in English and Hindi in New Delhi, the capital of India, with 23 Hindu women, employed by electronic and print media corporations. Accumulated data were analyzed and interpreted using feminist critical discourse analysis. Findings from the study indicate that while the Indian middle class women have embraced professional opportunities presented by globalization, they remain circumscribed by mutating gender politics. The research also finds that as academic and professional progress empower the women within their homes, their public lives have become fraught with increasing gender violence and decreasing recourse to justice. Therefore, women accept the power stratification of their lives as being dependent on spatial and temporal distinctions, and have learnt to engage and strategize with the public environment for physical safety and personal-professional progress. While the media women see systemic masculine domination as being symbiotic with tenets of religious nationalism, they exhibit an unquestioned embracing of capitalism/globalization as the means of empowerment. My research also strongly indicates the importance of the media’s role in shaping gender dynamics in a global context. In conclusion, my research shows the mediawomen’s immense agency in pursuing academic and professional careers while being aware of deeply ingrained gender roles through their strong commitment towards their families. The findings of this study contribute to the literature on Third World nationalism, urban globalization and understandings of reworked-renewed masculine domination. Finally, the study also engages with recent scholarship on the Indian middle class (See Nanda 2010; Shenoy 2009; Lukose 2005; and Radhakrishnan 2006) while simultaneously addressing the notions of privilege and disengagement levied at the middle class woman, a symbiosis of idealization and imprisonment.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Thomas J. Massaro
There is a substantial and growing corpus of literature that describes, with convincing statistics and analysis, globalization as the greatest achievement in the history of our modern world and that it has brought the greatest degree of prosperity and economic growth to poor countries. However, seen from the perspective of the poor and the marginalized, the current globalization has not helped them to end their misery and marginalization; indeed in most cases it has actually worsened their situation. The Christian community cannot remain an idle spectator of this unjust, inhuman and sinful global reality. Analyzed from a Christian theological perspective, it is not only an economic issue but also a moral issue. It is a social sin to violate human dignity, to commodify human labor, and to marginalize the poor. Based on the teachings of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences, the Catholic Bishops Conference of India and some prominent Asian theologians, I contend that dialogue with other faith traditions, cultures and the poor must be an essential part of her mission of humanizing the current globalization. I argue that the Church in India should avoid the presumption that she already possesses a vision of the common good adequate to the Indian society. While remaining committed to gospel values, the Church must be an open-minded listening and learning

Full text

Abstract:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an endocrine disorder with no known cure that compromises fertility, is a lifestyle disease affecting a growing number of urban Indian women. Media accounts and medical practitioners have noted a recent rise in PCOS cases in urban India and attribute it to "Westernization," modernization, stress, and lifestyle changes following on the heels of economic liberalization in 1991, which opened up the country to processes of globalization. Discourse about PCOS has thus opened up a space for commentary indexing anxieties about larger social and political economic shifts in the country, and women with PCOS are individualized embodiments of the biosocial stresses caused by these shifts. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing sociocultural landscape with potential for new opportunities for women, the syndrome also poses a challenge to women's traditional roles as wives and mothers, as its symptoms negatively affect reproduction and physical appearance. In this dissertation, I investigate aspects of public discourses about PCOS and lived realities of the syndrome in India as a lens into the interaction of processes of globalization with the local socioculturally embedded body.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1991 the Indian government officially sanctioned the country’s definitive entry into the global market and into a new era. This study focuses on the generation that epitomizes this new era and is based on fieldwork among young English-speaking, educated, Delhi-based men involved in occupations such as tourism, Internet, multinationals, journalism and sports. These young men construct their role in society by promoting themselves as brokers in the ongoing exchanges between India and the outer world. Together they constitute a heterogeneous whole with different class-, caste- and regional background. Yet, they can all be seen as members of the ‘middle class’ occupying a relatively privileged position in society. They consider the opening of India to the global market as the key-event that has made it possible for them to live an “interesting life” and to avoid becoming “boring people”. This exploration into the life-world of these young men addresses in particular how they construct their identities facing the messages and images that they are exposed to through work- and leisure-networks. They understand themselves and what surrounds them by invoking terms such as ‘India’ and ‘West’, ‘tradition’ and ‘modernity’, mirroring the debates on change that have gone on in India since colonization. Yet, they imaginatively re-work the content of these discourses and give the quoted terms new meanings. In their usage ‘being Indian’ is turned into a ‘global’, ‘modern’ and ‘cosmopolitan’ stance while ‘being Westernized’ becomes a marker of ‘backwardness’ and lack of sophistication. Their experiences mark out the popularity of notions of ‘Indianness’ in contemporary metropolitan India. The study focuses on how social actors themselves experience their self-identity and how these experiences are influenced by the actors’ involvement with international flows of images and conceptualizations. It will primarily approach cultural identities through labels of belonging to abstract categories with shifting reference (referred to them as ‘phantasms’) such as ‘India’, ‘West’, etc. The study suggests that the ‘import’ of trans-national imagination into everyday life gives birth to sub-cultural formations, new ‘communities of imagination’. Their members share a similar imagination of themselves, of Delhi, their country and the world.

Full text

Abstract:

Social movements in various parts of the world have been attempting to challenge the forces of neoliberal globalization and the social problems caused by this economic trend. Many such movements have been advancing the idea of global civil society in order to counter 'globalization from above'. Despite the efforts of these movements to democratize social relations, the domination of these powerful forces persist and result in further oppression of marginalized people. This study attempts to discover the reasons why these social movements and civil society, despite popular support, fail to challenge effectively the power of such social forces. In particular, this study analyzes, through in-depth interviews with activists, and archival and observational data, the world-view of civil society activists in a movement against Coca-Cola initiated by the marginalized people in Kerala, India. While this struggle, popularly called the 'Plachimada movement', managed to effect the temporary closure of a Coca-Cola plant, whose operation reportedly affected the ground water in the region, the local people felt that it failed to address their conditions of marginality. The analysis of the movement's processes finds that hegemony, or indirect forms of domination, often stands in the way of such efforts at democratic social change. The study concludes with suggestions for rethinking civil society as an arena of reflexive collective action that is counter-hegemonic.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to conduct brand analyses on global brands in comparison to local retailers in India taking into account the regional differences and Indian consumers’ affinity towards global brands. The study has derived its conceptual framework from previous work done by Lee, Knight, and Kim (2008) and Bhardwaj, Kumar and Youn-Kyung (2010) with some added attributes. Quantitative data included a sample of 194 subjects where the sampling was conducted randomly as well as the involvement of convenient method to analyze the brands in real-world scenario. The survey involved the questionnaire which was utilized in previous researches and analyzed under the light of statistical treatment. The results confirm the importance of global brands (influence of European brand over American brand) over local brand in the Indian apparel consumer market.

Full text

Abstract:

Facebook’s status as the world’s largest social networking platform is well documented. However, studies focusing on Facebook are largely limited to how individuals and businesses use the platform and not on how Facebook expands globally and affects markets and competition in foreign countries. Although international communication scholars have scrutinized the international expansion of major media corporations like Time Warner, Disney and News Corp., analysis on Facebook remains scarce. This thesis seeks to fill in the gap in scholarly research by conducting a meso-level (i.e. organizational level) analysis of Facebook’s expansion into developing countries through the theoretical lens of networks. The network perspective was chosen because it has previously facilitated the most comprehensive analysis of the globalizing strategies of media corporations. This paper simultaneously serves as a test of the applicability of theories of networked globalization and the Network Society to the global expansion of ICTs, and in particular, social-networking websites.

Abstract:

The previous research, in the internationalization area, indicates that there are both opportunities and challenges when companies operate abroad. By using a SLEPT analysis model, which studies the effect from the countries’ social/cultural, legal, economic, political and technological environments and their effects, it makes the opportunities and challenges more depletive. This makes it easier for companies, which are operating in a foreign country, to handle the situation and therefore, saves both time and money for the companies. The purpose of this study is to present a more conspicuous representation of the opportunities and challenges that companies in an industrial market have to face, during their operation in an emerging market. To gather the necessary information a multiple case study was implemented with three Swedish companies, who all are within the business to business (B2B) area. This study was conducted by interviewing the case companies, which are all established in India. These companies are Bufab AB and two from the Volvo Group (Volvo 3P and Volvo Powertrain). This study demonstrates that the main opportunities are the Indian population, highly educated people, the complaisant government and the fact that it is a low cost market. The challenges that these case companies had to deal with are lack of experience, the law and tariff system is difficult to understand, the laws change frequently, the economic development is rapid and the infrastructure is poor.

Demarest, Anne T. "'The ladies, they need to change': The Nutrition Transition among Urban, Affluent Women in India." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2013. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/188.

Full text

Abstract:

Following rapid economic growth in the 1980s and subsequent rising urbanization in the 1990s, urban centers of India have undergone a “nutrition and lifestyle transformation” regarding dietary choices, cooking methods, food accessibility, and average daily activity level. These changes have been pivotal in the increasing prevalence of obesity and lifestyle–related diseases for Indian adults. With an estimated 71.4 million people living with diabetes, India represents the largest diabetes population worldwide—and numbers are expected to continue growing. These health conditions are not affecting all populations of India; they are affecting the urban middle and upper classes. This thesis will examine the contributing causes behind shifts in food distribution, marketing and consumption in urban parts of India and how the diets and lifestyles of the middle and upper classes have changed, or reacted to such changes, as a result. It will analyze changing patterns of food consumption, as well as corresponding topics, such as lifestyle shifts and emerging health concerns that have developed as a result of rapid urbanization and globalization. My research will primarily focus on how these issues have impacted women. Women, in their roles as wives and mothers, largely control the domestic sphere, central to which is food; thus, they are the primary determiners of their respective “household nutritional status,” as they are responsible for providing food for, as well as shaping the dietary choices of, their husbands and children. I also argue that recent processes of globalization have transformed the food consumption culture of India’s urban middle and upper classes. Following the liberalization of India’s economy in 1991 that resulted in the global integration of international food trade, India’s urban female populations are not only reconsidering what they eat, but when, where, and how they eat. Now, they are facing the repercussions of the food choices and corresponding lifestyle changes that they have made irrespective of the increasing health problems and associated risks. Consequently, India’s urban youth has also begun to reevaluate their consumption habits as a result of globalization processes catalyzed by India’s economic liberalization. These changes in consumption habits have resulted in the emergence of a distinct “youth culture,” in which India’s younger generations are challenging traditional practices and attitudes that older generations have made regarding food and lifestyle choices, with the influence of media at the forefront. India has undergone a nutrition transition, but at what cost to consumer health and well–being, specifically affluent? This thesis will examine how globalization has led to an emerging consumer, specifically affluent urban females significantly impacted by both the introduction of new technologies and the process of globalization that is affecting cultures around the world.

India is a country rich in religious beliefs, with a cultural landscape infused with symbolic meaning. The nation is currently experiencing great advances in development, standard of living, and connectedness to global markets and cultures. For remote communities, the spread of global ideas can significantly impact traditional customs and distinctive landscapes. Vernacular houses, meaning those particular to a region and culture, and built with local ingenuity, are vital contributors to sense of place and cultural identity. India’s remote mountainous regions in particular, are at a threshold of change in the vernacular landscape. Therefore, my dissertation focuses on Kinnaur district, of Himachal Pradesh, a remote folk region of the Indian Himalaya with a strong vernacular heritage and potential for great change in its cultural landscape. Because architecture is culturally significant and provides a clear medium in which to see changes in the landscape, the purpose of this research is (1) to determine the characteristic features of the Kinnauri vernacular house, (2) to identify the reasons for and process of vernacular landscape change, and (3) to illustrate the potential of decorative or small-scale features as significant components of place-making and enduring vernacular landscapes. My methods consisted of historical archives, landscape analysis (direct observation, photography, and drawings), and open-ended in-depth interviews with homeowners, builders, and officials. Through these methods, I distilled the characteristics of the Kinnauri vernacular house to eight distinguishing architectural features and determined the three most influential agents that directly impact landscape change and the vernacular house. My final conclusions recognize a paradox in landscape identity and that small-scale features are significant components in place-making. Furthermore, my research highlights the crucial role of ensembles and adaptability in enduring vernacular landscapes. Although homogenization of landscapes is evident across the globe, many places still exhibit individualized characteristics and cultural identity. I contend that the increased ability of small-scale architectural features to adapt to new settings, allows a modernizing landscape to preserve aspects of the vernacular architecture.

Full text

Abstract:

The world is changing. India is changing. Food is changing. Bodies are changing. What does this mean for the women of Maharashtra, India? Globalization and modernity manifest in new and interesting ways the world over. As people establish networks of global commodity, capital, and human circulation, anthropologists raise pertinent concerns. While some are apprehensive about cultural loss and western cultural imperialism, others make a case for the rise of glocalization. While some espouse the positives of a free market economy, others are critical of the nutrition transition in developing countries and what this means for the health of the people undergoing this transition. The site of this study is the region of Konkan in Maharashtra, India. India is undergoing fast paced culture change since liberalizing its economy in the year 1991. I focus on the experiences of present day rural and urban Deorukhe Brahmin women (mothers and their daughters), who belong to an endogamous upper caste group that claims to be indigenous to Konkan. Generally, rural Indian regions are modernizing more slowly than urban areas. This study looks at how women are active agents in the changes that are taking place in their bodies, diet, and gender identities. A biocultural study, this dissertation takes into consideration anthropometric data and ethnographic data to comprehend the manner in which women, who are the gastronomic decision makers at the household level, are responding to the increasing influx of non-traditional foods. My study focuses on the moral implications of changing dietary practices and the appearance of chronic non-communicable diseases on the notions of the self. By discussing the manner in which Indian women practice their agency, using traditional gender roles, I aim to demonstrate how these women adjoin that which is thought to index the global and the local to shape a new India.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is primarily based on ethnographic fieldwork that lasted fifteen months, between 2010 and 2012, in Keqiao, a municipal county in eastern Zhejiang Province, China. Despite its inferior administrative status and rather inland location, Keqiao is China's trading frontier for fabrics, which are the semifinished textiles that are industrially weaved, knitted, dyed, and printed in bulk before being exported. Contributing to the turnover of more than one-third of all fabric produced in China, the county's fabric wholesale market is not only the mainstay of Keqiao's economy. It is also the world's centre for fabric supplies, and where around 10,000 Indians have flocked to start their intermediary trading businesses. The major aim of this thesis is to examine the everyday encounters between Indians and Chinese in the local fabric market. It begins by exploring how Keqiao emerged as the global distribution centre for a wide variety of cheap fabrics. It also shows how Keqiao becomes characterized by the growing importance of low-end fabric sales and the influx of Indian traders, who specialize in exporting these fabrics. The thesis then describes the encounters between Indians and local Chinese in the fabric market, addressing the challenges and difficulties that these Indians, especially the newcomers, confront when dealing with the Chinese suppliers. Focusing on novice traders, the thesis turns to investigate the internal dynamics of Indian trading companies. Remarkably, novice Indian traders successfully learn several strategies to counteract their precarious position in the workplace. These strategies leverage the accumulation of work experience and expanding social networks. These insights bring the thesis to chapters that highlight other strategies, particularly those created from encounters between Indian traders and Chinese clerks, as well as those between Indian traders and Chinese salespersons. Taken together, this thesis illustrates how transnational and local actors team up to create their own, locally based, intermediary economy within a small Chinese county, and how such a collaborative economy, which I term a 'global fabric bazaar', sustains these actors. Without this collaborative economy, these players would otherwise be vulnerable within the fabric wholesale industry because this supply chain is increasingly polarized and weakened by today's global capitalism.

Abstract:

How does the international climate policy frameworks influence the domestic institutional responses to climate mitigation in emerging economies? And how, in turn, do domestic institutions and politics in emerging economies influence the fate of international climate policy frameworks? The thesis provides answers to these questions by studying domestic engagements with Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in three emerging economies – India, Brazil, and South Africa. The thesis specifically studies how these engagements were influenced by the domestic institutional context provided by national climate policy, norms, and institutional capacity in the three countries. Drawing upon the variations in the engagements with nationally appropriate mitigation actions, made visible by use of the policy cycle as a heuristic device, the thesis informs the implementation of another nascent, yet prevalent, international climate policy framework – Nationally Determined Contributions. The thesis identifies how engagements with nationally appropriate mitigation actions varied in India, Brazil, and South Africa in agenda-setting, policy formulation, decision-making, implementation, and evaluation. In cases where international support is considered crucial for taking mitigation actions, external factors such as lack of clarity on definitional aspects and availability of international support can hamper the prospects of such frameworks at the agenda-setting and policy formulation stages. Efforts to engage with these frameworks under this uncertainty are held back by non-decisions, overriding national climate policy, as well as by uneven inter-ministerial coordination. The thesis argues that successful implementation of upcoming Nationally Determined Contributions will be influenced by a country’s ability to align them with its national climate policy, localization of the transnational norms, and the extent to which efforts to enhance institutional capacity for coordinating the implementation of national climate policy are made. In sum, the effective implementation of International Climate Policy Frameworks will be dependent on the willingness of the state to provide oversight and coordination, and clarity on the availability of international support.
Hur influerar ramverken för internationell klimatpolicy nationella institutionella åtgärder för att begränsa utsläpp av växthusgaser i framväxande ekonomier? Och hur påverkar, i sin tur, dessa länders nationella institutioner och politik dessa ramverk för internationell klimatpolicy? Denna avhandling studerar nationella engagemang i Nationellt lämpliga utsläppsminskande åtgärder (s.k. NAMAs) i tre framväxande ekonomier – Indien, Brasilien, och Sydafrika. Avhandlingen studerar i synnerhet hur dessa engagemang har påverkats av de tre ländernas nationella klimatpolicy, normer, och institutionella kapacitet. Genom att använda policycykeln som heuristiskt analysverktyg identifierar avhandlingen variationer i hur länderna utvecklat sitt engagemang i NAMAs. Avhandlingen visar att och hur engagemang med nationellt lämpliga utsläppsminskande åtgärder varierar mellan Indien, Brasilien, och Sydafrika vad det gäller fastställande av dagordning, policyformulering, beslutsfattande, implementering, och policyutvärdering. I de fall internationellt stöd anses vara avgörande för att vidta utsläppsminskande åtgärder kan externa faktorer såsom bristande definition av de internationella policyramverken för åtgärder samt tillgänglighet på internationellt stöd försvåra utsikterna för att internationella ramverk tas upp i de nationella dagordnings- och policyformuleringsstadierna. Arbetet med dessa ramverk försvåras även av icke-beslut och ojämn interministeriell koordinering samt om tvingande nationell klimatpolicy inte ligger i linje med de internationella besluten. Avhandlingens slutsatser har betydelse för implementeringen av ett annat framväxande ramverk för internationell klimatpolicy: Nationellt fastställda bidrag (s.k. NDC:er). En framgångsrik implementering av NDC:er kommer att influeras av en stats förmåga att anpassa dem till nationell klimatpolicy samt transnationella normer, så att dessa överensstämmer eller jämkas med nationella normer, samt den institutionella kapaciteten för att koordinera implementering av nationell klimatpolicy. En effektiv implementering av ramverk för internationell klimatpolicy kommer, sammanfattningsvis, att vara beroende av staters villighet att tillhandahålla tillsyn och koordinering, samt tydlighet vad gäller tillgänglighet till internationellt stöd.

This thesis examines the cultural characteristics of Brazil, Russia, India, and China (the BRIC countries), and the United States, in order to assess what these characteristics mean for U.S. Americans doing business with the BRICs. An in-depth review of the literature, both academic and popular materials, was conducted in order to analyze what is currently being said about the cultures of these countries. Country profiles are created that summarize the existing literature. These profiles are analyzed to see what themes, patterns, differences, and relationships may exist both within the cultures of the BRICs and as compared to the United States.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to understand the attitudes, perceptions and experiences of college women in modern India with regard to intimate partner violence, specifically dating violence. Surveys were collected from 489 undergraduate female participants. Only 99 participants (20%) were or had been in a dating relationship. The participants in this study self reported both perpetrating and receiving violence in these relationships. A significant positive relationship was found between dating violence perpetration and victimization and four risk factors: witnessing and experiencing abuse in one's family of origin, attitudes justifying wife beating, and problem behaviors associated with alcohol use. A significant negative relationship was found between anger management skills and the perpetration and victimization of violence in dating relationships. Finally, even though the rate of dating and alcohol use is low in India, the problem behaviors associated with these phenomena are very similar to those identified in the United States. Although much is known about domestic violence and wife assault in the Indian context, there is almost no information or effort in the direction of prevention and education in the realm of dating violence. While India is advancing technologically, creating new opportunities for its youth, there is no simultaneous effort being made to protect its youth from risks of urbanization and cultural shifts. The young adults of India today are joining the global economy. However, there is no system put in place to educate and nurture their social and cultural evolution. Findings from this study suggest that as the youth open themselves up to the culture of dating and premarital courtship, there needs to be a parallel effort made to educate and train them about healthy relationships.

Abstract:

Den liberala ekonomiska globaliseringen har lett till att Indien öppnat upp sin ekonomi och landets politiker välkomnar idag utländska investeringar såsom multinationella företag i hopp om ekonomisk tillväxt. Då Coca Cola Company etablerade en fabrik i byn Plachimada i södra Indien medförde detta miljöproblem i form av vattenbrist och förgiftning, vilket i sin tur ledde till stora sociala problem för byns befolkning. Idag är fabriken stängd på grund av invånarnas långvariga och kollektiva protester i vilka byns kvinnor varit särskilt aktiva. Studiens syfte är att söka kunskap om hur Coca Cola Companys etablering i Plachimada liksom det kollektiva motståndet mot fabriken har påverkat identiteten hos de kvinnor som varit aktiva i motståndet. Syftet är vidare att skapa förståelse för hur kvinnorna ser på ”västvärlden” liksom på sig själva i förhållande till väst. Utifrån studiens syfte har ett kvalitativt och reflexivt arbetssätt tillämpats där ett empiriskt material insamlats genom sex semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med kvinnor bosatta i Plachimada, kombinerat med observationer. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats utifrån teorier om empowerment, kollektiv identitet samt postkolonialism. Resultatet visar att kvinnorna genom deltagandet i protesterna känner sig stärkta, upplever att de har fått större kunskap samt en känsla av stolthet. Studien visar vidare på att det verkar finnas en närvaro både av en identifiering med hembyn – Plachimada och med nationen – Indien hos kvinnorna vi har intervjuat. Resultatet visar även på tankar bland intervjupersonerna som tyder på att koloniala maktstrukturer finns närvarande i kvinnornas syn på sig själva i relation till västvärlden.

The liberal economic globalization has led to the opening of the Indian economy and in hope for economic growth, the Indian government today welcome foreign investments such as multinational corporations. When Coca Cola Company established a factory in the village of Plachimada in the south of India, this led to environmental problems such as water shortage and contamination, which in turn caused big social problems for the villagers. Today the factory is closed as a result of the villagers’ collective protests in which the women of Plachimada have been particularly active. The aim of this study is to seek knowledge about how Coca Cola Company’s establishment in Plachimada as well as the collective protests against the factory has effected the identity of the women who have been active in the protests. The aim is further to create an understanding of how the women perceive the western world as well as themselves in relation to the western world. To accomplish the aim a qualitative and reflexive method was chosen, where an empirical material was collected through six semi structured interviews with women living in Plachimada, combined with observations. The empirical material has been analyzed using theoretical perspectives of empowerment, collective identity and post colonialism. The result shows that the women, through participation in the protests, experience themselves stronger, find that they got more knowledge as well as a feeling of pride. Furthermore the study shows a presence of identification among the women with the village – Plachimada and the nation – India. The result also denotes that colonial power structures are present in the ways the women perceive themselves in relation to the western world.

How could small pharmaceutical companies based in India gain a foothold in a global market dominated by large multinational firms? To address the issue, this doctoral thesis borrows from development geography, economic sociology, and institutional economics. It draws on various sources and methodologies, including semi-structured interviews conducted with directors of micro, small and medium companies in Ahmedabad and Mumbai (n = 99), interviews with the actors of India’s pharmaceutical industry (n = 61), and quantitative data from public and private databases. The analysis shows that these small companies compete in various pharmaceutical fields with specific norms and hierarchies, in which they occupy diverse positions, better in generic and emerging markets. Highly specialized, capitalizing on their commercial know-how, they innovate in marginal but idiosyncratic ways, driven by various entrepreneurial rationalities in which needs for achievement are as important as material motivations. Operating in adverse political, economic, and legal environments, at many scales, their strategies are embedded in flexible territorial and community ties, better resource-endowed when they are metropolitan and globalized. With their particular approach to economy and health, these agents participate in the globalization of the pharmaceutical market in alternate ways

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses the cultural impact of a period of globalization in the Indian Ocean world. It begins by arguing that nineteenth-century advances, including the expansion of imperial postal services, revolutionised methods of social communication; generating, in the process, a massive increase in the exchange of information across the Indian Ocean rim and contributing to the emergence of an interconnected oceanic network. It then discusses in detail the way in which local or indigenous groups came to manipulate this network to further their own social, political and religious programmes, eventually transforming local movements into regional and even global ones. Leading and orchestrating these movements were new intelligentsias that emerged in the imperial cities of the Indian Ocean rim after 1870. These intelligentsias - western-educated, bilingual and often multi-ethnic in composition - were forced to grapple with the forces of globalization in an environment where its impact was most keenly felt. In responding to the perceived threats of westernization, materialism and Christian evangelism through the creation of religious revival movements, these groups have been credited with spearheading resistance to colonial authority and with fostering nationalist awakenings. However, this thesis argues that the revivalism of this period possessed an appeal and contained aspirations that went far beyond the creation of the infant nation-state: a fact sometimes obscured by the attempts of historians to construct an inevitable teleology of the rise of Asian nationalism. Heightened interconnection in the region, afforded by a nineteenth century revolution in communications and the spread of English as a lingua franca, provided the bilingual intelligentsias in imperial cities with means to explore the creation of, and sometimes the revitalisation of transnational identities. A feature of the age was that many contemporaries saw the British Empire itself, in some form or another, as the vehicle through which a global programme of religion change might be instigated and successfully effected.

Abstract:

Mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte nach der wirtschaftlichen Liberalisierung Indiens kam es zur Herausbildung einer neuen Kultur des Unternehmergeistes, eines kapitalistischen Geistes. Sie umfasst die Wiederbelebung traditioneller wie auch das Entstehen angeblich moderner Werte. Die Kultur des Unternehmergeistes bezog sich vorwiegend auf die aufstrebende Mittelschicht des Landes. Diese Arbeitet erforscht wie der kapitalistische Geist in der Wirtschaftselite im indischen Bundesstaat Gujarat entsteht. Das Ziel der Forschung liegt in der Erklärung von Ungleichzeitigkeit im kapitalistischen Geist. Gujarat bietet sich als Region für eine solche Analyse an, da der Staat sowohl über wirtschaftliche Traditionen verfügt wie auch eine starke wirtschaftliche Öffnung erfährt. Den kapitalistischen Geist fasse ich als kapitalistisches Ethos im Anschluss an Pierre Bourdieus Konzept des Habitus. In Kombination mit Boike Rehbeins Konzept der Soziokultur, welches nebeneinander bestehende Lagen mit unterschiedlichen sozio-historischem Ursprüngen in einer Gesellschaft erklärt, gehe ich der Forschungsfrage nach dem Entstehen des kapitalistischen Geistes nach. Die Forschung wurde mittels der Dokumentarischen Methode mit qualitativen Interviews mit der Wirtschaftselite in Gujarat durchgeführt. Dem kapitalistischen Ethos in der Wirtschaftselite in Gujarat liegen drei Soziokulturen zugrunde, die mit der Britischen Kolonialzeit und Industrialisierung (1850-1947), mit der Zeit der eingeschränkten Wirtschaft (1947-1991) und mit der wirtschaftlichen Liberalisierung (1991) entstanden. Das kapitalistische Ethos wird in den Soziokulturen verschiedentlich interpretiert. Ich habe drei kapitalistische Ethoi rekonstruiert: das Mahajan Ethos, das Nehruvianische Ethos und das Neoliberale Ethos.
Almost two decades after India’s economic liberalization, scholars found the emergence of a new moral order. This new enterprise culture, or capitalist spirit, entailed the revival of traditional as well the formation of putatively modern values. While this enterprise culture accounted mostly to the emerging middle class in the country, similar changes were observed at the core of industrial capitalism: management styles, which remained unstudied sociologically. This thesis investigates how the capitalist spirit in the business elite in the Indian state of Gujarat emerges. The purpose of this study is to explain the emergence of asynchronicity in the capitalist spirit. Studying the business elite in a state with a stronghold in business traditions as well as a stark economic liberalization contributes to the above mentioned studies. Based on literature review I argue for the capitalist spirit as capitalist ethos, drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus concept in combination with Boike Rehbein ‘s concept of socioculture, which explains coexisting layers in societies of different socio-historical origins. This research interest was operationalized with the documentary method, conducting qualitative interviews with the top business leaders in Gujarat. In this study, the capitalist ethos in the business elite in Gujarat emerges in three sociocultures that arose with British colonialism and industrialization (1850-1947), with the restricted economy (1947-1991), and with economic liberalization (1991). The capitalist ethos is differently interpreted in the sociocultures and therefore gains different meaning. I reconstructed the three capitalist ethoi of the Mahajan Ethos, the Nehruvian Ethos and the Neoliberal Ethos, respectively.

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses the central question- How are parenting methodologies across the sending and receiving nations shaped by larger macro forces embedded in economy and labor market forces? In order to answer this key question this project analyzes interviews with 59 middle-class mothers in Edison, New Jersey and Kolkata, India. This project contributes to the larger scope of immigration and transnational studies while placing them at the cross section of globalization of economy, labor market and education. The first chapter examines extensively the schooling systems in Edison and Kolkata and the ways it shapes parenting methods in these two locations. The key argument in this chapter focuses on the influence of the education system upon mothers in Edison and Kolkata and the ways they maneuver the schools. In the subsequent chapters I compare and contrast between support groups and community networks that help mothers in Edison and Kolkata navigate everyday child rearing challenges. The central puzzle that these chapters solve is: why immigrant mothers in an individualistic society resort to community and on the contrary mothers in Kolkata that belong to a more traditional society resort to commercial parenting schools instead of extended family to support everyday child rearing? The primary reason is embedded in the globalization of the labor market and economy. The immigrant mothers in Edison, who immigrated to the US as spouses of elite professionals in a globalized economy were confronted with the challenges of parenting in a foreign country. They resorted to community support to help them negotiate everyday parenting challenges. On the other hand in Kolkata the rapid changes in the field of employment an education had forced mothers to resort to commercial agencies for parenting support. Finally the dissertation concludes by returning to the central research questions and briefly states the central findings along with raising avenues for future research.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2000.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 246-252).
This dissertation examines the conditions under which firms foster the development of their workers' skills in the process of globalization, using a case study of the automobile industry in India based on extensive fieldwork in India in 1996, 1997 and 1998. As India underwent economic reforms over the past decade, the Indian automobile industry has experienced remarkable growth and dynamic transformations, with an increased inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) and intensifying competition within the domestic market, leading to considerable restructuring. In this process, two leading vehicle manufacturers, one with FDI, and the other without it, have played key roles in promoting growth in production and export, while increasing their competitiveness, through their massive investment in skill development for their workers. Indeed, both firms have well-structured internal incentive mechanisms to encourage and reward workers' learning. They have also strengthened their backward linkages by institutionalizing various learning mechanisms through their supply chains, altering the model of supplier relations that had prevailed in India. My questionnaire survey of 50 component suppliers revealed that the nature of skills has recently changed with increased emphasis on behavioral traits, resulting in considerable upskilling, particularly among workers at component suppliers. These findings markedly contrasts with the experiences elsewhere documented in the literature, where few FDI-affiliated firms develop backward linkages, and where local firms weaken comparatively in the face of growing dominance by FDI. Challenging the growing literature that suggests FDI plays a role in brining new knowledge and skills to developing countries, this study finds that even in the process of globalization, the interplay of various institutional forces both inside and outside the firms still crucially shape the patterns of in-firm skill development. Such institutional forces include: 1) the peculiar historical imperatives under which firms needed to operate and develop their technological capabilities; 2) national institutional frameworks; 3) the government's involvement; 4) institutional alliances between firms and training institutions; and 5) vertical inter-firm linkages. In particular, inter-firm linkages are critical in promoting skill development among smaller local suppliers, thus spreading workers' learning widely across the economy. The Indian government has played an important role in 1) developing a key firm that would lead the growth of the industry, set operational and performance standards, and serve as a catalyst for the industry-wide learning; 2) forcing that firm to develop backward linkages through various policy measures; and 3) creating mechanisms for firms to promote in-firm training through policies such as statutory apprenticeship schemes. Thus, contrary to the claim by human capital theorists, various institutional conditions created rather than reduced incentives for firms to promote in-firm training not only for their own workers but also for workers at their suppliers.

Abstract:

This research aims to understand the extent to which integration among Indian highskilled labor migrants in the Swedish society has occurred. The study takes it stance from the following research field: Social integration, interpersonal communication and national identification. These three research fields are assembled into a model used to analyze the empirical data. As a method, nine semi-structured interviews are used with ten Indian national interviewees in total. The Interviews are conducted in the southern part of Sweden in three different cities, Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg. Core findings show proof of employment as a central part in integration. Other findings show lack of Swedish language as an issue for better social integration; low levels of interpersonal communication between the interviewees and other social groups in Sweden which leads to low levels of Swedish national identification. In the discussion, the study stresses the importance of: communication between social groups in order to have better integration; time as an important factor for integration and the need of mutual accommodation between social groups in a pluralistic society like Sweden, to improve levels of integration.

Abstract:

Dans les années 1990 et 2000, la scène musicale underground taiwanaise a vu naître successivement le Taik – ou Rock Taike 台客搖滾 taike yaogun – puis le Taiwan Traditional Rap, ou 台灣味唸歌 Taiwan wei niange. Ces courants « trans-musicaux » se rejoignent sur de nombreux points tels que la revendication de « traditions » populaires locales, accompagnée cependant d'une forte complaisance au métissage culturel, et par-dessus tout d'un besoin de se définir – de s'identifier – en dehors des clichés aliénants du bon-goût, dictés de manière hégémonique par la culture « dominante » centrée depuis la fin des années 1940 sur le modèle de la République de Chine. Appuyée par un travail de terrain réalisé entre 2005 et 2010 selon les principes de l'observation participante, et pensée à la lumière des cultural studies et d'ouvrages d'auteurs tels que Dick Hebdige et Stuart Hall, cette thèse propose une approche « sensible » d'une sous-culture particulière, tempérée d'autre part par une critique des théories développées par Pierre Bourdieu dans La Distinction, Critique sociale du jugement. Elle tente ainsi – au travers du prisme trans-musical – de définir la place occupée par la sous-culture locale « Taike » dans l'histoire globale d'autres sous-cultures comparables, et s'impose alors en contexte tel un trait d'union entre Taiwan et le reste du monde
In the 1990's and 2000's, the underground music scene in Taiwan successively gave birth to the Taik – also called Taike Rock 台客搖滾 taike yaogun – then to Taiwan Traditional Rap 台灣味唸歌 Taiwan wei niange. These "trans-musical" currents are similar in many issues such as the claim to local folk traditions, accompanied however by accomodating a strong cultural mix and by a need to define – to identify – themselves outside the alienating good taste, so dictated since the late 1940's by the hegemonic "dominant" culture focused along the lines of the Republic of China. This thesis proposes a ''sensitive'' approach to a particular subculture, furthermore tempered by a critique of theories developed by Pierre Bourdieu in Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste. It has been backed up by field studies conducted between 2005 and 2010 according to the principles of the participant-observer and trends of thought enlightened by cultural studies and works of authors such as Dick Hebdige and Stuart Hall. It attempts also – through the prism of trans-musicality – to define the place of the local "Taike" subculture in the global history of other comparable subcultures, as an essentiel link between Taiwan and the rest of the world

Abstract:

Le but de cette étude est de mener une approche comparative critique des villes racontées de la frontière américano-mexicaine dans un corpus de romans urbains récents. L'une des questions centrales est la formulation d'un modèle basé sur la représentation littéraire d'événements tels que la mise en œuvre, l'assimilation et la consolidation des imaginaires globaux dans les villes frontalières. Le modèle des villes collatérales est composé d'une série d'ordres que nous appelons panoramas urbains. Les scénarios que nous analysons correspondent aux hyper masculinités, à la mémoire traumatique et à l’allegalité transnationale. Le premier panorama se réfère à la représentation de la ville par rapport aux conflits narratifs dérivés du masculin et du féminin, en se concentrant sur des pratiques qui correspondent au modèle des masculinités hégémoniques. Le second panorama traite de la représentation de la dynamique entre mémoire et oubli, élément qui caractérise les espaces périphériques. Le dernier panorama examine les conflits qui naissent des tensions entre le légal et l'illégal qui se reflètent dans l'espace urbain. Pour aborder le modèle en question, les romans Nostalgia de la sombra (2002), d'Eduardo Antonio Parra; 2666 (2004), de Roberto Bolaño; Al otro lado (2008), d’Heriberto Yépez; et Indio borrado (2014), de Luis Felipe Lomelí sont étudiés
The purpose of this study is to carry out a critical comparative study of the narrated cities of the Mexico-US border in a corpus of recent urban novels. One of the central questions is the formulation of a model based on the literary representation of events such as the implementation, assimilation, and consolidation of global imagery in border cities. The collateral city model is made up of a series of orders which we call urban panoramas. The panoramas we analyze correspond to hypermasculinities, traumatic memory and transnational allegality. The first panorama refers to the representation of the city in relation to narrative conflicts derived from the masculine and feminine, focusing on practices that correspond to the model of hegemonic masculinities. The second panorama deals with the representation of the dynamics between memory and oblivion, an element that characterizes peripheral spaces. The last panorama examines the conflicts that arise from the tensions between the legal and the illegal that are reflected throughout the urban space. To approach the model in question, the following novels are studied: Nostalgia de la sombra (2002), by Eduardo Antonio Parra; 2666 (2004), by Roberto Bolaño; Al otro lado (2008), by Heriberto Yépez; and Indio borrado (2014), by Luis Felipe Lomelí
