Abstract Details

2008, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Political Science.
Three decades after it nationalized its airline industry, India began to easerestrictions in 1986. This study examines the factors that motivated the government to deregulate the industry. It documents the changes in the regulatory system and analyzes the rationale and strategy behind the policies adopted by the government. Based on results from interviews conducted with government officials in India's civil aviation ministry, it is concluded that although the factors that motivated the government to deregulate the airline industry include the desire to promote economic development, improve air services and the international trend towards liberalized airline competition, the government's determination of the process and pace of deregulation was informed by established international practices and procedures, national security and safety concerns, and the pluralist nature of Indian politics.
