Soft cover. Zustand: New. In 2004 the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance coalition unexpectedly came to power in India, promising to govern in the interests of the aam aadmi . Over the next decade, it introduced several rights-based laws and welfare programmes targeting mass poverty. However, how fully did the UPA deliver on its promise to meet the needs of the poor? In The Politics of Poverty Reduction, four internationally-reputed specialists in Indian politics and public policy answer this by offering a critical review of the five most important initiatives: the National Food Security Act, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, the Integrated Child Development Services, the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, and the Forest Rights Act. The first systematic review of the politics and policy-making behind the UPA s anti-poverty programmes, this book unearths the constellation of interests that shaped their legislation, and the key roles played by central, state and local governments, senior politicians, bureaucrats, civil activists, courts and the private sector in influencing the UPA's agenda. Focusing on political dynamics and the crucial issue of implementation, the authors address how concerns such as coalitions of interest, resource availability, and local and state administrative capacity shaped what was thought possible at the implementation stage. This book contributes to our understanding of official Indian thinking on poverty in the twenty-first century, and how India s partly rights-based welfare regime assumed its present form. Explaining the persistent gap between intent and outcomes of social policy in India, this first substantial assessment of the UPA in power will be invaluable for students and scholars of economics and development studies, public policy, governance and sociology. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Here is a an authoritative introduction to federalism and centre-state relations in India. Paying attention to the constitutional, political and economic dimensions that affect the relationship between the central government and the states in India, the book stimulates understanding of some of the big dilemmas facing India today. In order to get to the bottom of how policies are made and the impacts they have in India's complex multi-level political and economic ecosystem, an appreciation of federalism is needed. The ability of the central government to reduce inequality between regions and promote economic dynamism, or the ability of India's states to define their own policy agendas that speak to local needs and priorities, are all shaped by federal institutions and practices. Institutional recognition of societal diversity and the rights of minorities are also protected, and sometimes contested, through federalism. How to achieve a balance between regional political and economic autonomy, and the scope for authoritative policy making by the central government, are some of the thorniest issues facing India.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Like many of the world's leading democracies, India faces unprecedented stresses, from economic challenges wrought by premature deindustrialisation to political tensions created by majoritarianism. The erosion of constitutionally framed democratic governance represents more than just an old political order giving way to a new one: institutional decay has been the result of conscious, sustained and systemic political action. The multidimensional pressures on the rule of law make it essential for us to deconstruct democracy as it is conceived, understood and practised in India today. Deconstructing India's Democracy highlights the enduring relevance of James Manor's influential body of work, the result of over fifty years of scholarly engagement with India and Indian politics. Examining the varied meanings of democracy for the Indian polity, the book situates these discussions within an examination of identity, caste, sub-nationalisms, the role of political leaders, parties and brokers, autocracy, clientelism, patronage, elections, popular movements, and decentralisation, thus offering a framework for re-evaluating democracy in India. The twelve essays, by leading scholars, address diverse aspects of two central themes in Manor's work political decay and political renewal to diagnose the country's democratic deficits while also highlighting signs of regeneration, resilience, awakening and agency. The authors deploy a range of methods and perspectives to analyse the interplay between regions and the nation, and variations between states, including Karnataka, where James Manor's work goes back many decades. This is an essential and timely book that anyone observing and invested in Indian politics today must read.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Welfare politics take centre stage in India's electoral landscape today. Direct benefits and employment generation form the mainstays of social provision, while most citizens lack dependable rights to sickness leave, pensions, maternity benefits or unemployment insurance. But how did this system evolve Louise Tillin traces the origins and development of India's welfare regime, recovering a history previously relegated to the margins of scholarship on the political economy of development. Her deeply researched analysis, spanning from the early twentieth century to the present, captures long-term patterns of continuity and change against a backdrop of nation-building, economic change, and democratisation. Making India Work demonstrates that while patronage and resource constraints have undermined the provision of public goods, Indian workers, employers, politicians and bureaucrats have long debated what an Indian 'welfare state' should look like. The ideas and principles shaping earlier policies remain influential today. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There is a widespread consensus today that the constitutional flexibility to alter boundaries has bolstered the stability of India's democracy, and reduced the potential for conflicts around language. Debates continue about the potential to create more states in response to the demands of marginalised ethnic communities, disgruntled farmers, opportunistic politicians, regional industrialists and others who seek--in different ways--to reshape political and economic arenas. Remapping India looks at the most recent episode of state creation in 2000, when the states of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand came into being in some of the poorest, yet resource-rich, regions of Hindi-speaking north and central India. Their creation represented a new turn in the history of territorial organisation in India. This book explains the politics that lay behind this episode of post-linguistic state reorganisation, and what it means for the future design of India's federal system.…
