Abstract
AbstractChapter 9 explores the future prospects of the CEO MDR by underscoring its contradictions and emerging weaknesses. First, the promise of entrepreneurship has (unsurprisingly) failed to uplift most poor emigrants. State welfare programs for emigrants have also failed to deliver. Second, given most private recruiters’ class position as small and medium-size entrepreneurs, their current discontent exposes a fallacy in the CEO MDR’s claims to promote this very line of labor. Third, elite emigrants’ call for privatization and their underlying distrust of the government’s ability to deliver on development is fomenting fault lines in their relationship with Indian NGOs and the Indian state. If history is any guide, the CEO MDR will eventually fall. This chapter thus explores the potential for the CEO MDR’s weaknesses to mobilize resistance.
