“To get engaged with the global academic community as well as to provide a forum for policy debates on issues of international importance, IILM instituted the Global Thinker Award in 2006.
To make the acceptance lectures more widely accessible and also to give them greater permanency, the institute has brought out this monograph which covers the 2006-2008 period”
IILM feels honoured by confering the Global Thinker Award, 2011 on Prof Andre Beteille.
