Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Type: Book Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru - the First Prime Minister of Independent India - was the embodiment of spirit and ideals of democracy, socialism, secularism, nationalism, equality and social justice. Estimating the contemporary significance and historical relevance of Nehru will always remain a challenging task for the students of social sciences. Nehru continues to remain a crucial link between the evolution of India's contemporary nationalism and the transition towards a middle-range power among the countries of the modern world. Along with other great stalwarts of freedom movement, Nehru was successful and practical in envisioning a modern India. Given the complex social, cultural, political and historical background of the Continent, this was a tremendous task. In the post-Independence scenario, Nehru was able to provide a strong foundation to the political system and clear directions to foreign and domestic policies. Despite the fast changing nature of the international system, Nehruvian perspectives are very relevant even today. This book contains 12 papers, authored by eminent scholars, which critically examine the policies pursued by Nehru in shaping modern India. 184pp.

It resulted in exposing the strategies of the hegemonic world leadership in the corporate sector supported by the sole super power the United States of America. The preparation process and goals of the war had made it clear that the USA and her very limited allies were not really searching for the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. Rather the fundamental political economy behind the aggression was the attempt to control the rich oil fields in Iraq. However unlike the Gulf War I the United States found too many European powers unwilling to support the expedition. Similarly leading Third World Nations like India Brazil and China expressed their objections to the war. The net experience of the war clearly revealed that unipolarism will not survive long and the United States will have to address the realities of the emerging multilateral system. 256 pp.

The attraction to middle east as a source of migration came to notice with the oil boom of early 1970s but unlike the migration to Western countries there is no possibility of obtaining permanent residential status to the migrants in the Middle East. Given this reality and adhocism in work environment the future of a Gulf Emigrant is always on a tight rope. They face the basic challenge of rehabilitation in the home state sooner or later. What exactly is the role of government in addressing this issue. What are the tasks of political parties and civil society in helping these people who contributed to the economic development of the home state. These are the major concerns of this work. This work is an attempt to study the gravity of the problem of Gulf returnees. Policy alternatives essential for the state and central governments are also presented in the work. 208 pp.

Parliamentary democracy and coalition governments negotiating spaces/Sandeep Shastri. While India celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of independence and trust with liberal democracy the country is actually passing through a tough and complex period. The rigid social and hierarchical structure unfinished agenda of land reforms challenges of casteism and communalism Criminalisation of politics problems of gender participation slow pace of electoral reforms challenges of federalism coalition politics and party system rise of terrorism etc are some of the major issues affecting the future course of parliamentary democracy in India. In fact the debate cannot be narrowly focused to the structural and legal aspects of parliamentary form of government. In the meanwhile India embraced the neo liberal agenda and entered the stream of globalization process. This raises further questions of interfacing a developing democracy with the challenges of globalization. The problems relating to bio diversity traditional knowledge rights of poor farmers and above all the role of civil society are crucial here. The volume presents the problems and potentialities of Indian democracy in the era of globalization and liberalization. 366 pp.
