Abstract
This chapter explores the domestic and international constraints that led India under the two United Progressive Alliance (UPA) governments to find a middle ground between liberalizing interests and defensive demands as the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) negotiations of the World Trade Organization (WTO) advanced amid growing fears of economic turmoil. The chapter begins by contrasting NDA’s and UPA’s approaches on the DDA. It then explains how domestic stakeholders in three major sectors—agriculture, industry, and services—organized themselves to influence the government to incorporate their interests into the national interest. The following section adds more complexity to the analysis by unfolding the impact of international factors over the process, which in turn lays the ground for a debate on the effects of the expansion of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) upon Indian policymakers. The conclusion recasts the main arguments and discusses whether any other governing coalition but the UPA would have adopted similar positions and strategies within the same context.
