Response to Erik Kuhonta's review of Mobilizing Restraint: Democracy and Industrial Conflict in Post-Reform South Asia

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  16 August 2012

Extract

To what extent does Mobilizing Restraint provide insights that are useful to the study of developing countries beyond South Asia? This question deserves serious attention, but in raising doubts about whether my study has broader applicability, Erik Kuhonta does not engage key arguments in the book as well as much of the empirical evidence that I present to support them.
