Book excerpt: Women empowerment in urban society is similar to that of other structure, that is, not many women are involved in it, especially in the decision making bodies. It is hard for them to participate in public spheres such as the political, administrative, judiciary and trade union due to cultural barriers, low educational levels, domestic responsibilities and other problems. The empowerment of women needs to develop and utilize women's full potential a resources for national development in it economic, political and social-cultural matters. Economic growth does not necessarily lead to human development. Gender equalities is central to realizing Millennium Development Goals. Gender equality will not only empower women to overcome poverty but also their children, families, communities and countries. Thus, gender equality produces a double dividend benefits to both women and children. However, eliminating gender discrimination and empowering women will require enhancing women's influence in the key decisions that save their lives. Women themselves are the most important catalyst for change. However, challenging attitudes towards women at work requires a multifaceted approach. Gender equality, leading to increased work opportunities, enhanced capacities for livelihood developments, labour right to women, enhanced social protection and overall increasing voice can enable women to participate equally in productive employment, contributing to women's development leading to economic growth of the nation. Gender equality, linked with women's empowerment, is thus seen as key aspect of economic growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores and analyses women’s participation in local urban governance in West Bengal, India. It is developed from empirical research with in-depth understanding of ground situations of freedom, functioning and obstacles of women councilors in India. The central idea of this book revolves around two central research questions: 1. How are women’s positions and spaces changing due to their political participation in the urban local governance? and 2. What are the major hurdles they face in their day to day lives barring their emancipation? The main strength of the book lies in the in-depth grounded research in four small cities (Darjiling, Balurghat, Raniganj and Hugli-Chinsurah) using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This volume can be considered as a reference book for Gender Studies, Women’s Studies, Urban Governance, Women and Policy Research, Gender Development Studies.
Download or read book Decentring Urban Governance written by Mark Bevir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decentring Urban Governance seeks to rethink governance not as a particular state formation, but as the diverse policies emerging associated with the impact of modernist social science on policy making, considering the diverse meanings that inspire governing practices across time, space, and policy sectors in urban context. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book goes beyond neoliberalism, and is interested in other webs of meaning through which actors encounter, interpret, and evaluate social science, which have received less analytical attention. All these different webs of meaning – elite narratives, social science, and local traditions – influence patterns of action. The book creates an analytical space by which to consider situated agency and localised resistance to the discourses and policies of political elites, including the myriad ways in which local actors have resisted practices of governance on the ground. This text will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of urban governance, governance and more broadly to the social sciences, housing, social policy, law and welfare studies.
