Book excerpt: "Panchayati Raj, as a system of governance at the grass roots level in rural India, has been rightly conceived as the most viable and proper mechanism of realizing the goals of democracy and decentralization. The current debate is not on its desirability but on strengthening it by identifying its weaknesses and taking care of the lacunae which are still there in spite of its constitutionalization through the historical 73rd Constitution Amendment Act. Likewise, empowerment of women and weaker sections, through a well-devised system of reservation, has not only brought about a change in the socio-political culture of these sections of society but has also led to a virtual transformation of the rural scene where people have increasingly become aware of their rights and have started demanding their share in power. In fact, rural India today has become the embodiment of a new revolution which seeks to provide direction to the polity thereby making democracy and decentralization vibrant and feasible for those who deserve it ."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the Indian state reconcile the demands of human and national security? In a well-documented and wide-ranging analysis, this book contends that there is more to security than territorial integrity and the preservation of state sovereignty. Verghese Koithara traces the development of the Indian state since independence, examines the impact of the external environment on the country, and contrasts the experience of India, China and Indonesia in their handling of security concerns. He examines the contemporary situation, impacts of the global system, and assesses the military and non-military dangers India is likely to face in the future. He delineates areas that are important for the security of both India and its people and recommends that in managing national security both the politico-military and socio-economic dimensions must be considered.
Download or read book New Lamps for Old written by J. Devika and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a large number of interviews with women politicians of many generations and women who have entered the three-tier Panchayati Raj institutions since the mid-1990s in Kerala, this book tries to initiate fresh debate on the impact of the large-scale induction of women into the institutions of local self-government in India. The State of Kerala has been hailed as a success story in accommodating gender concerns in local-level planning and political decentralisation; this conclusion has been based on relatively simple evaluative exercises that ask whether women of diverse backgrounds have gained entry into formal institutions of governance or not. This book seeks to place political decentralisation and its possibilities for women within the historical and contemporary contexts. Against the popular assumption that the liberal feminist promise made by the state will be delivered, say, once the noxious influence of male relatives is removed, the book points to the multiple social forces that shape possibilities and hindrances for women, and reshape gender divisions in the political field. The book thus pays attention to women in both local governance and politics. Secondly, it examines how women have utilised, extended, survived within or subverted these spaces. In the present context in which fifty per cent of the seats in the institutions of local self-government are being reserved for women, and there exists considerable skepticism about reservations for women in the Parliament, this book offers reflections on both local governance and ‘high’ politics.

This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Introduction Management of public finance is the responsibility of the Central, State and Local Self Governments. This arises in the content of the responsibility of the respective goals to look after the welfare of the people. In discharging the duty of the governments the Local Self Governments have to implement various schemes and programmes involving expenditures of different types. In order to finance these expenditures, governments have to mobilize funds by way of taxes in addition to receiving financial assistance from the central and state governments and other institutions. Mobilization of necessary financial resources and the proper spending of the amounts are the major responsibilities of the governments concerned. The administrative efficiency of a government depends upon the manner in which public finance is successfully managed to the best advantage of the society. This is a difficult task requiring dedication and honesty on the part of the governments at all levels.
Download or read book Localism and the Design of Political Systems written by Rick Harmes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines localism as a political idea and policy approach and explains what localism is about, why it is growing in importance and how it relates to other themes in politics. Illustrated with case studies from the United Kingdom, mainland Europe and the Indian sub-continent, the book analyses localism in conceptual and theoretical terms and locates it within the overall landscape of political thought. Key themes covered in the book include place, space and scale; decentralization and devolution; multi-level governance; public value; democracy and empowerment; and political design. With the focus on the bottom-up, constructivist aspects of localism, the book argues that localism is most likely to work successfully in a political order where sovereignty is ‘distributed’ across various social spheres and levels of government. It offers a comprehensive view of localism by synthesizing its various strands and creating a distinctive framework for design and evaluation. This book will be of particular interest to scholars, students and practitioners of localism, particularly within local and regional government, public administration and policy, human and political geography, and urban studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is one of the most debated concepts in contemporary discussions in the domain of development. The emerging paradigm of governance in the area of globalization reframes the roles of institutions of state, market and civil society. This involves questioning of the erstwhile dominant role of other institutions. Weakening and erosion of major modern institutions of governance such as legislature, bureaucracy and judiciary in third world reflects the growing governance crisis. Social tension and conflicts based on identity are on rise. This has significant implications on issues such as social equity, justice and environment that affect the life of people, especially the third world poor. This collection addresses some pertinent issues that emanate from the emerging paradigm of governance. The major areas of concern are globalization, civil society, gender social services and infrastructure. This documentation will help carry forward creation of knowledge and formulation of strategies in the field of rural management to meet the future challenge of rural development.
Download or read book Understanding India s New Political Economy written by Sanjay Ruparelia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-03-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of large-scale transformations have shaped the economy, polity and society of India over the past quarter century. This book provides a detailed account of three that are of particular importance: the advent of liberal economic reform, the ascendance of Hindu cultural nationalism, and the empowerment of historically subordinate classes through popular democratic mobilizations. Filling a gap in existing literature, the book goes beyond looking at the transformations in isolation, managing to: • Explain the empirical linkages between these three phenomena • Provide an account that integrates the insights of separate disciplinary perspectives • Explain their distinct but possibly related causes and the likely consequences of these central transformations taken together By seeking to explain the causal relationships between these central transformations through a coordinated conversation across different disciplines, the dynamics of India’s new political economy are captured. Chapters focus on the political, economic and social aspects of India in their current and historical context. The contributors use new empirical research to discuss how India’s multidimensional story of economic growth, social welfare and democratic deepening is likely to develop. This is an essential text for students and researchers of India's political economy and the growth economies of Asia.
