Between Dependency and Autonomy offers a compelling exploration of India’s evolving relationship with the international computer industry between 1960 and 1980, showcasing a significant shift in power dynamics. Joseph M. Grieco presents a thorough analysis of how India increased its capacity to manage and negotiate with high-tech multinational corporations, challenging the long-standing imbalance between developing countries and advanced capitalist enterprises.
Grieco’s study not only documents this shift in power but also provides a critical evaluation of two competing schools of thought. One perspective argues that developing countries can significantly improve their bargaining power with multinationals, while the other suggests that these nations remain perpetually disadvantaged. Using India’s experience with computer firms as a pivotal case, Between Dependency and Autonomy offers valuable insights into how developing nations can assert greater control in their interactions with global industries.
This groundbreaking work is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and professionals interested in international relations, economic development, and the global technology landscape. It highlights India’s success in reshaping its relationship with multinational firms, offering a blueprint for other developing countries seeking to enhance their autonomy in the international economic system.
