A fundamental change in the global development policy environment has been in progress during the last three decades. Global governance institutions and nation states have prioritised neoliberal policies, known as the Washington Consensus, emphasising market-led, export-oriented development at the expense of state-led, import substitution. The subsequent post-Washington consensus reinforces this shift, with the promotion of market-supporting institutions, including a global standard patent law which is explicitly formulated as part of the World Trade Organisation's (WTO)'s Trade-Related Aspect of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) Agreement. Critics have suggested that this changing environment has led to a "shrinking of policy space" for development.

520 $a A fundamental change in the global development policy environment has been in progress during the last three decades. Global governance institutions and nation states have prioritised neoliberal policies, known as the Washington Consensus, emphasising market-led, export-oriented development at the expense of state-led, import substitution. The subsequent post-Washington consensus reinforces this shift, with the promotion of market-supporting institutions, including a global standard patent law which is explicitly formulated as part of the World Trade Organisation's (WTO)'s Trade-Related Aspect of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) Agreement. Critics have suggested that this changing environment has led to a "shrinking of policy space" for development.
520 $a This dissertation investigates how the changing global and national policy environment has influenced conditions for the establishment and expansion of a particular knowledge-intensive industry in the Global South. Taking the case of the Indian pharmaceutical industry, which has become known as the "pharmacy to the developing world" for its supply of low-cost medicines, I examine: 1) the impact of patent law change on development; 2) the role of integration into global production networks in development; and 3) the possibility of a more socially-oriented framework for the developmental state.
520 $a The three-article dissertation draws on more than 85 interviews conducted with various industry stakeholders over the course of three visits to India, as well as on the analysis of secondary documents. The first article assesses the impact of a changing patent law on innovation, technology transfer and health. While weak patents from 1970 to 2005 played a key role in the formative development of the Indian pharmaceutical industry, the 2005 change to a stronger patent law had much less impact than anticipated. This outcome may suggest that the impact of patents has been exaggerated and that the TRIPs debate needs to be understood in relation to a wider institutional environment, particularly capabilities. The second article examines various stages of India's integration into pharmaceutical global production networks and their development impact. In contrast to the emphasis on "strategic coupling" in GPN literature, the Indian state's active pursuit of "strategic decoupling" has helped foster the establishment of a domestically-owned industry. The third article engages with literature on the challenges of constructing a socially-oriented developmental state. Through the Indian pharmaceuticals case, it demonstrates how social policies can act as an industrial promotion policy. In sum, the "pharmacy of the developing world" was built through limited patent coverage, strategic decoupling and a socially-oriented developmental state, all of which run counter to current (post) Washington Consensus thinking.
520 $a Together, the articles show that the crucial factors in establishing the Indian pharmaceutical industry are more complex and varied than might be suggested from neoliberal strategies and the policies of development currently advocated by global governance institutions. This dissertation seeks to move beyond critiques of neoliberalism to explore possibilities for post-neoliberal development strategies. Particular attention is given to the potential for flexibilities in patent law, "strategic decoupling" to overcome adverse incorporation, and the construction of socially-oriented developmental states.
