In Report : Karnik adjudicates the globalisation debate by explicitly preferring Bhagwati's 'In Defense of Globalisation' to Stiglitz's critique, using Bhagwati as the authority that trade liberalisation unambiguously benefits growth and lowers poverty.
In The Challenge of Poverty : Lambsdorff pairs Bhagwati's defence of WTO-led liberalisation with the Economic Freedom index data to argue that openness to trade reduces poverty and increases growth.
In LIFE AFTER LIBERALISATION : Ganguly names Bhagwati (with Amartya Sen) as a founder of the modern economic philosophy India needs to address the realities of the poorest of the poor in the post-1991 reform era.
In 1991 Liberal Reforms: Why No One Celebrated Them - Ashok Desai, 1995 : Desai credits Bhagwati and Srinivasan with coining the concept of 'liberalisation episodes' to describe India's pre-1991 piecemeal deregulation, using it as a foil to argue that economic liberalisation without liberal philosophy is insufficient.
