Political Economy of West Bengal

Special Articles
Vol. 41, Issue No. 04, 28 Jan, 2006
Abhirup Sarkar

The paper is concerned with the phenomenon of unusual political stability in West Bengal coupled with moderate economic development in the state since the inception of Left Front rule. It is argued that this coexistence cannot be fully explained by agricultural growth or land reforms. An explanation is provided in terms of informalisation of the economy along with a strong party organisation of the left.
