DVM 2105 University of Ottawa Economic Reforms in China and India Discussion Length: 10-11 pages, double-spaced, no cover pageFont: Times New Roman, 12 pointCharacteristics of a good answer:First, the student will have to define key terms like “neoliberal” and “pro-market reforms”.Second, the student will have to clearly pick a country (For example India or China).Third, the student will have to show knowledge of the precise reforms that took place in each country (type of reform, timing, intended impact, etc.) If the student wants to argue that the neoliberals are correct, they must show that those reforms were indeed “neoliberal” or “pro-market”. Then, s-he will make some attempt to show that these reforms actually caused, in whole or in large part, the “economic success” of the country in question, with “economic success” being measured, presumably, in terms either of higher economic growth rates and/or higher rates of poverty reduction.S-he may go further and deal with the substantial non-liberal parts of the economy in question, e.g. the large state-owned companies (in banking, in industry, in energy, transport and infrastructure), the continued practice of central economic planning (albeit in modified form), the continuation of various subsidies (e.g. for food and fuel in India). The pro-neoliberal paper would presumably have to argue that these elements are secondary to the booming market economy with its private property and market-driven incentives. DVM 2105 A00
QUESTION 3: Neoliberals claim that the economic success of China and India in recent years
is largely due to pro-market economic reforms instituted since 1980 (in China) and since
1991 (in India). Do you agree or disagree? Pick one of these two countries and defend your
position.
Characteristics of a good answer: First, the student will have to define key terms like
“neoliberal” and “pro-market reforms”. Second, the student will have to clearly pick a
country (For example India or China). Third, the student will have to show knowledge of the
precise reforms that took place in each country (type of reform, timing, intended impact,
etc.)
If the student wants to argue that the neoliberals are correct, they must show that those
reforms were indeed “neoliberal” or “pro-market”. Then, s-he will make some attempt to
show that these reforms actually caused, in whole or in large part, the “economic success”
of the country in question, with “economic success” being measured, presumably, in terms
either of higher economic growth rates and/or higher rates of poverty reduction. S-he may
go further and deal with the substantial non-liberal parts of the economy in question, e.g.
the large state-owned companies (in banking, in industry, in energy, transport and
infrastructure), the continued practice of central economic planning (albeit in modified
form), the continuation of various subsidies (e.g. for food and fuel in India). The proneoliberal paper would presumably have to argue that these elements are secondary to the
booming market economy with its private property and market-driven incentives.
