(MENAFN- The Conversation) Professor of the Politics of Development, University of Oxford Profile Articles Activity
Nikita Sud has taught Politics and Critical Development Studies since 2006. Her research uses inter- and multi-disciplinary lenses to explore the state and governance in the Global South, the politics of economic liberalisation, the Political Economy of natural resources, and more recently, the politics of green energy.
Nikita is the author of 'Liberalisation, Hindu Nationalism and The State: A Biography of Gujarat' (Oxford University Press, 2012). The book is a long term study of the western region that is home to India's controversial Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Her next book 'The Making of Land and The Making of India' (Oxford University Press, 2021) interrogates the dynamic human-nature relationship in contexts of globalised development. She is now working on 'Powered by the South: Energy, Extraction, and Assertion in the Postcolonial World' (Princeton University Press). A longer list of publications is available here:
