It takes the work by Chronic Poverty Research Centre forward. It goes beyond the all too familiar statistical exercises based on BPL statistics. It provides a ground level view of the poor with the help of a well designed field investigation. It builds on existing concepts and research in recognising the heterogeneity and differentiation among the poor and also the presence of non poor even in remote and backward rural communities. Without this recognition it is easy to underestimate the barriers confronting the change agents intervening in poor communities from outside particularly those with urban background and who belong to the developed world. Even genuine concern for the poor and the deep sense of commitment for their welfare by themselves would be of little help to the development interveners unless they equip themselves with an adequate understanding of the dynamics of stagnation and change in the communities they wish to help. Trapped in Poverty is a good illustration of how to go about to obtain a mapping of the rural context for checking the relevance and usefulness of the development strategy and the benefits it could confer on the poor. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of development studies economics and sociology. 212 pp.

Decentralisation is a much-debated issue in India and other countries with federal system of governance. The enactment of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act in 1993 and the subsequent state wise panchayat raj acts in India brought to frontline significance of grassroots democratic processes. After two decades, panchayat raj in India has been a matter of debate and speculation about its performance and impact. All the major states have completed at least four rounds of panchayat elections. Almost three million people including more than one million women and a sizeable number of SCs/STs took part in these elections. The experiences of the states are extremely rich and provide vital insights into the process of institutionalising panchayat raj. This volume strives to encompass all these issues related to panchayat raj in India. Besides a crisp introduction by the editors, the book is thematically divided in five parts, viz. 73rd Constitutional Amendment and Status of PRIs; Devolution of Funds, Functions and Functionaries in PRIs; Changing Power Structure and Empowerment of Marginalised Groups; Gender Issues and Empowerment of Women through PRIs; and State Specific Experiences in Structure and Functions in PRIs. The book promises to be a valuable reference for all concerned researchers, bureaucrats, policy makers, planners, practitioners and those concerned with the decentralised governance. (jacket).
