Creating Regulators is not the
End, Key is the Regulatory Process The study reviews the regulatory environment existing in select
developing countries in Asia and Africa. The seven countries
surveyed – India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia (in Asia); and
South Africa, Kenya and Zambia (in Africa) – have experienced
regulation in different ways due to variations in their economies
and stages of political development. The report takes stock of the
evidence from select developing countries in Asia and Africa, in
order to reach out to the governments in similar countries and show
them the way forward in implementation of a sound regulatory regime.

Politics Triumphs
Economics?Political Economy and the Implementation of
Competition Law and Regulation in Developing Countries (Volume II)This volume, second in the series, published under the
‘Competition, Regulation and Development Research Forum’ (CDRF)
project is compilation of nine papers which were presented at the
symposium marking the culmination of the research efforts of the 1st
research cycle of CDRF. The research papers covered the experiences
of a wide range of developing countries as seen mainly through the
eyes of developing country authors. Importantly, rigorous analytical
techniques were used to draw generalisable policy implications,
which were later on also communicated to a vast and heterogeneous
audience of stakeholders in a simplified form through policy briefs
and online forums.
Politics Triumphs
Economics?Political Economy and the Implementation of
Competition Law and Regulation in Developing Countries (Volume I)
This research volume has been published under the ‘Competition,
Regulation and Development Research Forum’ (CDRF) project. A wide
range of issues have been captured in the research volume – for
instance, the political economy underlying the implementation and
enforcement of competition and regulatory laws and regimes, barriers
posed by vested interests to the free and fair functioning of
competition and regulatory regimes and the often choppy relationship
between competition enforcement agencies and regulators attributable
to functional overlap which often delays decisions and is,
therefore, detrimental to the welfare of any country. This book can be purchased at:

Politics Trumps Economics
– Lessons and experiences on competition and regulatory regimes from
developing countries Co-authored with Manish Agarwal and V V Singh, this monograph
suggests that mere adoption of regulatory laws is a necessary but
not a sufficient condition to be part of the market reform agenda.
Implementation is equally important. Most developing countries have
adopted market-oriented reforms as part of the globalisation and
liberalisation process but due to various reasons, distortions arise
in the working of the market process. Pp 56, #0709, Rs 50/US$10, ISBN: 978-81-8257-087-0
Institutional Independence in India Co-authored with TCA Srinivas Raghavan, the discussion paper
entitled,‘Institutional Independence in India’, presents a
comprehensive analysis of institutional independence in India, which
would facilitate cross-disciplinary learning and identification of
good and bad practices. The paper suggests that institutional
independence should not be mistaken as an objective in itself, it
should rather be seen as an important requisite for achieving
desired effectiveness, economy, and efficiency in the system.

Capacity Building on
Infrastructure Regulatory Issues (I and II
edition) The role of civil society is critical in shaping regulatory
capacity. It helps in resource mobilisation and experience sharing,
which, in turn, helps regulatory agencies to form a strong platform
from where they can build further. This document is intended to
kick-start a debate among the stakeholders – the Government,
regulatory bodies and civil society – to catalyse an appropriate
regulatory environment in India.

Analyses of the
Interaction between Trade and Competition Policy This study not only provides information about the views of
different countries on various issues being discussed at the working
group on competition, but also informs them about the views of
experts on competition concerns being discussed on the WTO platform
and the possible direction these discussions would take place in
near future. It also contains an analysis on the country’s
presentations by CUTS.
