The present project was commenced to study the onset of technocratic regulation of the market economy in India and its relationship to forms of Reform. The study provides a detailed descriptive and analytical account of the intellectual foundations and actual operation of constitutional authority alongside its Extra-Constitutional Administrative Cousin, its failings, and the "constitutional moment" in the early '90s which offered the impetus and the opportunity for the construction of the new autonomous regulatory state - also on a foundation of extra-constitutional administrative entities. This analysis is done over the background of the history and development of constitutionalism both in its more recent modernist reinvention in the European enlightenment as well as the ancient roots of the Greek City-States and the Roman Republic. The study sets out a framework for the purposes of finding and elaborating the nature of the transformation from the extra-constitutional command economy to the autonomous regulatory bodies managing the emergent and resurgent free market i.e. it sets out a hierarchy of transformation along the axis of the transformation in degree versus the transformation in kind i.e. subordinate or superordinate transformation and finds the former to be characteristic of India's new regulatory state rather than the latter.
