Abstract

New Delhi launched its SEZ revolution in April 2000 to secure the country a two digit growth rate, copying from China what during the previous two decades proved to be an excellent strategy, this paper proposes a new form of comparison between China and India SEZ strategies. It starts reviewing the historical conditions that pushed China and subsequently India to choose to implement their SEZ strategy as well as the national economic preconditions that shaped and influenced their success.
