Taking the electric sector in 14 Indian states as a case study, Santhakumar (Centre for Development Studies, Kerala) investigates who opposes reforming ineffective and inefficient institutions, and how their opposition can be overcome in specific socio-economic contexts. He discusses such aspects as the context of electricity reform, factors determining social opposition, measures for reducing social opposition, and generalizing to other sectors and countries.
