“Labor, Democratization and Development in India and Pakistan” by Christopher Candland explores the role of labor movements in shaping the political and economic landscapes of India and Pakistan. Candland examines how labor organizations have contributed to democratization processes, economic development, and social change in both countries, while also highlighting the differences in their trajectories. In India, labor has played a significant role in supporting democratic institutions, whereas in Pakistan, labor movements have often been suppressed under authoritarian regimes. The book provides a comparative analysis of labor policies, state-labor relations, and the impact of globalization on workers’ rights, offering insights into the broader political economies of both nations.
