Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK The 2018 Kerala floods imparts an urgency to begin a broader conversation on India's resource choices, its drivers as well as determinants and its likely consequences for the day to day life of millions who are at the receiving end of flood fury. Managing flood rage pres…upposes linking the different domains of science. It cannot be understood in isolation from the crucial issues of growth and development, quality of politics, land use management, water supply, solid waste management and disaster prevention. This book helps to identify the missing links that are presently outside the mainstream discourse. Incorporating a human rights perspective in understanding and framing disaster response affirms the rights and dignity of vulnerable people and can provide opportunities to transform societies and deepen equality in the aftermath of disasters. The importance of common property and citizens' rights is already engrained in the basic framework of the governance of Kerala. However, the neo liberal practice that is in vogue has seriously eroded its strength in governance. Kerala had to streamline its governance policy framework in tune with the new market rules of globalization. Today it is well understood that the legacy of Kerala Model Development (KMD) has neither fructified into a self sustaining growth by itself, nor appropriated the potential of free market forces to stimulate a balanced multi-sectoral growth. The concept of development itself has transformed globally in the context of the environmental catastrophe the world has witnessed recently. Climate change, resource constraints and destruction, over use and over exploitation, bio-diversity loss, rising social inequalities and poverty questions the existing development models. Apart from raising the pertinent question of how to steer the course of development of the state, the book put forward solutions to secure sustainable development that can address the needs and aspirations of the people along with the responsibility of safeguarding our ecosystem. ABOUT THE AUTHOR R.K. Suresh Kumar, is former Associate Professor and Head, Department of Political Science, University College, Thiruvan-anthapuram.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: ENGLISH. Labour in the 21st Century offers a timely and incisive analysis of how work, technology, and global economic forces are redefining labour in the contemporary world. Rejecting narrow views of labour as a mere factor of production, the book foregrounds human agency, social values, and t…ransformative change. Across seven integrated chapters, the authors examine how advances in information and communication technologies have reshaped production systems, labour relations, and global integration. They contend that technology has become more decentralised and people centred, softening traditional capital labour antagonisms while creating new opportunities for cooperation, flexibility, and participation in work. The book examines evolving labour dynamics shaped by global value chains, labour mobility, and changing patterns of organised and unorganised work. It reconceptualises informalisation not as a sign of underdevelopment, but as a structural consequence of technology-driven, service-based economies. By connecting inequality to the underlying structures of production, the authors highlight the need for fairness, accountability, social justice, and democratic responsibility at a global level. P. Suresh Kumar is at present an activist and a practicing lawyer. He was formerly Associate Professor and Head, Post Graduate and Research Department of Economics, Government College, at tingle. He has also served in Kerala Public Service Commission a sits Member. His ideas, visions and experience as an academician and administrator are well reflected in his writings and publications which include more than 50 research articles and seven books. His areas of specialization are Development Economics, Education, Ecology and Governance and Planning. R.K.Suresh Kumar is the former Head of the Department of Political Science at University College, Thiruvananthapuram.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: ENGLISH. Labour in the 21st Century offers a timely and incisive analysis of how work, technology, and global economic forces are redefining labour in the contemporary world. Rejecting narrow views of labour as a mere factor of production, the book foregrounds human agency, social values, and t…ransformative change. Across seven integrated chapters, the authors examine how advances in information and communication technologies have reshaped production systems, labour relations, and global integration. They contend that technology has become more decentralised and people centred, softening traditional capital labour antagonisms while creating new opportunities for cooperation, flexibility, and participation in work. The book examines evolving labour dynamics shaped by global value chains, labour mobility, and changing patterns of organised and unorganised work. It reconceptualises informalisation not as a sign of underdevelopment, but as a structural consequence of technology-driven, service-based economies. By connecting inequality to the underlying structures of production, the authors highlight the need for fairness, accountability, social justice, and democratic responsibility at a global level. P. Suresh Kumar is at present an activist and a practicing lawyer. He was formerly Associate Professor and Head, Post Graduate and Research Department of Economics, Government College, at tingle. He has also served in Kerala Public Service Commission a sits Member. His ideas, visions and experience as an academician and administrator are well reflected in his writings and publications which include more than 50 research articles and seven books. His areas of specialization are Development Economics, Education, Ecology and Governance and Planning.
