fiat  

India cannot grow the same way as China, though, even if it does pursue low-cost manufacturing just as avidly. India is a functioning democracy, where local governments do battle with New Delhi and small constituencies make their voices heard. The central government cannot rule by fiat, and officials are loath to follow a path that has not been tested as a precedent. -- New York Times, June 3, 2008
