This Doctoral dissertation research moves beyond the existing literature on the politics of economic development by focusing on the political economy of industrial promotion programs at the subnational level. Market-oriented reforms in combination with administrative decentralization have increased the importance of subnational governments for promoting industrial development, yet we do not have adequate explanations for either the level or the type of subnational government action in industrial promotion. This Doctoral Dissertation Research combines in-depth qualitative comparison of industrial policy in three states in both India and Mexico with a large-n cross-sectional time-series analysis of sub national policy choice. Focusing upon variations both in the level and type of subnational development policy, the research enhances our understanding of the ways in which institutional context shapes policy choices among policy alternatives. The Ph.D. student draws on a variety of types of evidence, including interviews with elected officials, political party leaders, ministry bureaucrats, domestic industrialists, labor union officials, leaders of industrial associations, and foreign investors; surveys of industrial development offices and private sector development organizations; examination of legislative records; and measures of institutional factors, including executive power, legislative professionalism, the competitive balance of the party system, and labor and business strength. Using these types of information, the study explores the factors guiding developmental policy choice on the basis of a comparative analysis of state-level politics in India and Mexico. By bridging the gap separating the study of development efforts that rely upon the statist promotional policies from those emphasizing market-oriented policies of deregulation, the current study contributes to theoretical work on the political economy of development, enhances our understanding of subnational politics in emerging market nations, and establishes a stronger theoretical basis for understanding the ways in which variations in institutional context shape choices among development strategies. 0135674

这篇博士论文的研究超越了现有的文献对经济发展的政治，专注于在国家以下一级的工业促进计划的政治经济学。以市场为导向的改革与行政权力下放相结合，增加了国家以下各级政府促进工业发展的重要性，但我们对国家以下各级政府在工业促进方面的行动水平或类型没有充分的解释。本博士论文研究结合了印度和墨西哥三个州的产业政策的深入定性比较，以及对次国家政策选择的大N横截面时间序列分析。集中在国家以下发展政策的水平和类型的变化，研究提高了我们的理解，在制度环境中的政策选择之间的政策选择的方式。的博士学生利用各种类型的证据，包括与民选官员，政党领导人，部委官僚，国内工业家，工会官员，工业协会领导人和外国投资者的访谈;工业发展办公室和私营部门发展组织的调查;立法记录的审查;以及制度因素的衡量标准，包括行政权力、立法专业性、政党制度的竞争平衡以及劳工和企业实力。利用这些类型的信息，研究探讨了发展政策选择的指导因素的基础上，在印度和墨西哥的国家一级的政治比较分析。通过弥合差距，将对依赖于国家主义促进政策的发展努力的研究与强调放松管制的市场导向政策的研究分开，目前的研究有助于发展的政治经济学的理论工作，增强了我们对新兴市场国家次国家政治的理解，并为理解制度环境的变化如何影响发展战略的选择奠定了更坚实的理论基础。0135674
