Yet outcomes varied widely across regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Critiques and Structural Limitations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A major criticism of the Washington Consensus was its rejection of <strong>industrial policy<\/strong>, which involves state support for strategic domestic industries.<\/li>\n<li>Trade rules under the World Trade Organization restricted policy tools such as subsidies and investment regulations, limiting the ability of developing countries to nurture emerging sectors.<\/li>\n<li>This restriction contrasted sharply with the historical experience of successful industrial economies.<\/li>\n<li>Countries such as <strong>South Korea<\/strong>, <strong>Taiwan<\/strong>, and <strong>Japan<\/strong> relied heavily on <strong>state-led development<\/strong>, <strong>strategic protection<\/strong>, and <strong>targeted industrialisation<\/strong> during their formative years.<\/li>\n<li>Structural adjustment policies also produced significant social consequences. Cuts in public spending weakened <strong>public services<\/strong>, increased <strong>economic inequality<\/strong>, and intensified <strong>poverty<\/strong> in several regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Political Backlash and the Decline of the Consensus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>By the late 1990s, dissatisfaction with the Washington Consensus had grown widespread.<\/li>\n<li>Protests against globalisation and international financial institutions spread across many parts of the Global South.<\/li>\n<li>The divisions were also visible in global trade negotiations, including the <strong>1999 Seattle WTO protests and the 2003 Canc\u00fan<\/strong> WTO Ministerial Conference.<\/li>\n<li>These confrontations highlighted tensions between developed and developing nations over trade rules and development priorities.<\/li>\n<li>After the 2008 financial crisis, scepticism toward liberalisation expanded within advanced economies as well.<\/li>\n<li>Political movements expressing frustration with globalisation emerged in the West, including the Make America Great Again movement and the referendum leading to Brexit.<\/li>\n<li>These developments revealed widespread disillusionment with economic globalisation and its perceived social costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Emergence of a Post-Washington Consensus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The twenty-first century has witnessed the gradual emergence of a <strong>post-Washington consensus<\/strong>, which recognises that markets alone cannot ensure inclusive development.<\/li>\n<li>Contemporary economic thinking emphasises institutional strength, public investment, social safety nets, and redistributive policies.<\/li>\n<li>Governments increasingly focus on education, healthcare, infrastructure, and innovation systems to support long-term development.<\/li>\n<li>Strategic <strong>industrial policy<\/strong>, once dismissed, has regained importance in fostering technological capabilities and competitive industries.<\/li>\n<li>Alternative models have also gained prominence. The state-led development strategy associated with China demonstrates how <strong>state intervention<\/strong>, <strong>industrial strategy<\/strong>, and <strong>controlled liberalisation<\/strong> can drive rapid economic transformation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Washington Consensus once offered a <strong>seemingly universal formula<\/strong> for development based on liberalisation, privatisation, and deregulation.<\/li>\n<li>Over time, however, financial crises, inequality, and political resistance revealed the limitations of a single policy template.<\/li>\n<li>Contemporary economic governance reflects a more <strong>pragmatic<\/strong>, <strong>context-sensitive<\/strong>, and <strong>policy-diverse<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Governments now combine <strong>market mechanisms<\/strong> with <strong>state intervention<\/strong>, adapting strategies to their institutional capacities and national priorities.<\/li>\n<li>The decline of the Washington Consensus therefore marks not the end of globalisation, but the end of the belief in a single universal model of development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Fate of the Washington Consensus, Once Talisman FAQs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Q1.<\/strong> What is the Washington Consensus?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> The Washington Consensus is a set of economic policy prescriptions introduced in 1989 to promote fiscal discipline, market liberalisation, and economic stability in developing countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2.<\/strong> Who coined the term Washington Consensus?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> The term Washington Consensus was coined by economist John Williamson in 1989.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3.<\/strong> Which institutions promoted the Washington Consensus policies?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans. <\/strong>International institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank promoted the policies associated with the Washington Consensus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4.<\/strong> Which major crisis exposed weaknesses in the Washington Consensus model?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The Global Financial Crisis exposed major weaknesses in the market-driven policies promoted by the Washington Consensus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5.<\/strong> What is meant by the post-Washington consensus?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> The post-Washington consensus refers to a newer development approach that combines markets with state intervention, social protection, and strategic public investment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/opinion\/lead\/the-fate-of-the-washington-consensus-once-talisman\/article70740455.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Hindu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>LPG Cylinder &#8211;

How does access to LPG contribute to improving public health and gender equality in India?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>.

What are the socio-economic inequalities in access to clean cooking fuel in India?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. Access is shaped by class, caste, gender, and rural\u2013urban disparities, with SC\/ST and poorer households facing greater barriers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3<\/strong>. What is the significance of the PMUY in India\u2019s clean energy transition?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. The scheme has expanded LPG access to poor households, improved health and welfare outcomes for rural women, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4<\/strong>. Why is India\u2019s LPG supply vulnerable to global geopolitical developments?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. India imports a large share of its LPG, with about 90% of supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5<\/strong>. What is the role of clean cooking fuel access in promoting inclusive development in India?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. Clean cooking fuel access improves health, reduces gender drudgery, enhances productivity, and bridges socio-economic inequalities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/opinion\/columns\/lpg-cylinder-is-an-object-of-both-domestic-aspiration-welfare-war-in-west-asia-threatens-that-promise-10580810\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>IE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>The India-Canada Turnaround is About Deliverables<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney\u2019s visit to India marked a significant improvement in bilateral relations after tensions during Justin Trudeau\u2019s tenure.
