This book was released on 1993-09-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The author must be credited with making an objective and analytical study of the highly controversial issues, which more often than not run into ideological warnings. The book deserves the attention of the scholars having interest in this area of research." --Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics Tenancy Relations and Agrarian Development offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex agrarian structure existing in rural West Bengal. Focusing specifically on the issue of share tenancy, the author carefully builds a historical profile of the events which were responsible for the spread of this system in colonial Bengal and which ultimately led to the growth of stringent and exploitative conditions of work which typify West Bengal today. As for the post-independence period, the author examines tenancy reform measures and analyzes the National Sample Survey data as well as actual field data. "Sankar Bhaumik has provided a comprehensive study with an in-depth analysis and careful interpretation of empirical data which will be very useful to social scientists, planners and politicians." --Seminar "Bhaumik's work is commendable in almost pioneering an empirical study on tenancy reforms in post 1977 West Bengal, without losing the overall perspective and framework of these changes." --Social Action "The book serves its purpose well by offering rich evidence and insights to those interested in understanding the issues of tenancy from broad historical as well as empirical perspective . . . . Tenancy Relations and Agrarian Development is a welcome addition to the existing literature on tenancy relations in particular and land reforms in literature on tenancy relations in a particular and land reforms in general. This publication will be useful to policymakers, students, and academicians within and outside West Bengal." --The Administrator "The study provides a clear understanding of the historical processes through which the tenancy system evolved in Bengal, the role it entailed for the partners in tenancy contracts and the manner in which tenancy relations were modified at different phases in history." --Rural Development Abstracts "For many years, scholars have focused on the question of agrarian development in India. Sankar Kumar Bhaumik's book is a very valuable addition to this literature. Concentrating on the issue of tenancy relations in West Bengal, it provides both new insights to changes that have occurred in agriculture there as well as a broader comparative perspective on that form of production for capitalist development as a whole. One of the strengths of this study is its capacity to place its mode of enquiry within the general theoretical debate on share tenancy and to locate its outcomes in terms of the issues raised by this body of literature. Another strength is its understanding of the historical forces which have shaped the condition of post-colonial share tenancy in West Bengal. Indeed, these two factors, along with the comprehensive grasp of available empirical matter, make it an excellent book.... Bhaumik has produced an excellent study, informed not only by a clear mastery of the theoretical and historical literature relating to the issue of tenancy relations in West Bengal, but also by an enviable grasp of the empirical dimensions and details of such relationships. For those interested in tenancy relations in West Bengal, this book is necessary reading. For those interested in tenancy relations throughout India or comparative regions, this book is highly recommended reading." --South Asia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: May 1999 - Access to land is deeply important in rural India, where the incidence of poverty is highly correlated with lack of access to land. The author provides a framework for assessing alternative approaches to improving access to land by India's rural poor. He considers India's record implementing land reform and identifies an approach that includes incremental reforms in public land administration to reduce transaction costs in land markets (thereby facilitating land transfers) and to increase transparency, making information accessible to the public to ensure that socially excluded groups benefit. Reducing constraints on access to land for the rural poor and socially excluded requires five key issues: restrictions on land-lease markets, the fragmentation of holdings, the widespread failure to translate women's legal rights into practice, poor access to (and encroachment on) the commons, and high transaction costs for land transfers. Among guidelines for policy reform the author suggests: Selectively deregulate land-lease (rental) markets, because rental markets may be important in giving the poor access to land; Reduce transaction costs in land markets, including both official costs and informal costs (such as bribes to expedite transactions), partly by improving systems for land registration and management of land records; Critically reassess land administration agencies and find ways to improve incentive structures, to reduce rent-seeking and base promotions on performance; Promote women's independent land rights through policy measures to increase women's bargaining power within the household and in society generally; Improve transparency of land administration and public access to information, to reduce rent-seeking by land administration officers and to strengthen poor people's land rights (and knowledge thereof); Strengthen institutions in civil society to provide the awareness, monitoring, and pressure needed for successful reform and to provide checks and balances on inappropriate uses of state power; In a companion paper (WPS 2124) the author addresses these issues at the level of a particular state - Orissa, one of India ' s poorest states - in an empirical study, from a transaction costs perspective, of social exclusion and land administration. This paper - a product of the Rural Development Sector Unit, South Asia Region - is part of a larger effort in the region to promote access to land and to foster more demand-driven and socially inclusive institutions in rural development.

Download or read book Capital Interrupted written by Vinay K. Gidwani and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central Gujarat region of western India is home to the entrepreneurial landowning Patel caste who have leveraged their rural dominance to become a powerful global diaspora of merchants, industrialists, and professionals. Investigating the Patels’ intriguing ascent, Vinay Gidwani analyzes its broad implications for the nature of labor and capital worldwide. With the Patels as his central case, Gidwani interrogates established concepts of value, development, and the relationship between capital and history. Capitalism, he argues, is not a frame of economic organization based on the smooth, consistent operation of a series of laws, but rather an assemblage of contingent and interrupted logics stitched together into the appearance of a deus ex machina. Following this line of thinking, Gidwani points to ways in which political economy might be freed of its lingering Eurocentrism, raises questions about the adequacy of postcolonial studies’ critique of Marx and capitalism, and opens the possibility of situating capitalism as a geographically uneven social formation in which different normative or value-creating practices are imperfectly sutured together in ways that can equally impair and enable profit and accumulation. Both theoretically astute and empirically informed, Capital, Interrupted unsettles encrusted understandings of staple concepts within the human sciences such as hegemony, governmentality, caste, and agency and, ultimately, does nothing less than rethink the very constitution of capitalism. Vinay Gidwani is associate professor of geography and global studies at the University of Minnesota.
