ABOUT THE BOOK: Social exclusion has become one of the important themes in contemporary social policy debates in both the developed and developing countries. It has become central to policy and academic discourse in Western Europe, and increasingly in other parts of the globe. In India, the exclusion discourse is closely linked with a wide range of socioeconomic inequality. The most rigorous form of exclusion is practiced by the institution of caste, followed by religion, ethnicity and gender. The contours of the exclusion perpetuated by these variables constantly change with the context, time and space. Many social groups in India have been experiencing some form of inequality or social exclusion. Across social groups, women face exclusion and discrimination in many areas of life, though their status varies significantly according to their social and ethnic backgrounds. The history of civilisation shows that women were excluded from the public sphere. There are separate spaces for women and men. By tradition also, the public sphere is male domain and women have been confined to their homes (private sphere) and relegated to the background. Divided Spaces: Discourse on Social Exclusion and Women in India make a unique contribution to the literature on social exclusion and inclusion. This book explores several forms of social exclusion in the context of India and brings together leading scholars from several of the disciplines that have developed concepts of exclusion and various dimensions of exclusion/inclusion. It is hoped that this volume contributes to our understanding of the complexities of social exclusion and provide policymakers with guidance for corrective policies and social inclusion to combat the different forms of social exclusion. This book is useful and essential reading for students and scholars of political science, sociology, anthropology, history and cultural studies. It will also strike sparks with those with a professional research interest in social exclusion/inclusion.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Democracies and autocracies alike have sidelined women to the peripheries and denied them access to political office and subordinate their claims as equal citizens of the polity. The marginalisation of women from positions of power and their exclusion from the public arena is the major issues in both types of regimes. In recent years, research on liberal democracy around the globe, however, bolsters the case for a positive relationship between democracy and increasing gender parity in politics. The countries with higher levels of liberal democracy exhibit more consistently gender parity than autocracies which show more inconsistent gender gaps. This book examines the relationship between gender and democracy in South Asia and discusses the challenges confronting women of negotiating their places and creating their spaces in the political landscape. What this book tries to address is the problems faced by women in India and Nepal in negotiating space when managing multiple marginalised identities, on the one hand and the successes of women's quest for gender equality and political representation at the grassroots level, on the other hand. The chapters in this volume were written as a collective contribution to the current debate in political science and sociology on gender, power relations, and democracy. The main objective of the book is to make a contribution to the literature in three of the most rapidly growing areas of political study and analysis: gender,power, and democracy. (jacket).…
