Book Synopsis Making Politics Work for Development by : World Bank
Download or read book Making Politics Work for Development written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments fail to provide the public goods needed for development when its leaders knowingly and deliberately ignore sound technical advice or are unable to follow it, despite the best of intentions, because of political constraints. This report focuses on two forces—citizen engagement and transparency—that hold the key to solving government failures by shaping how political markets function. Citizens are not only queueing at voting booths, but are also taking to the streets and using diverse media to pressure, sanction and select the leaders who wield power within government, including by entering as contenders for leadership. This political engagement can function in highly nuanced ways within the same formal institutional context and across the political spectrum, from autocracies to democracies. Unhealthy political engagement, when leaders are selected and sanctioned on the basis of their provision of private benefits rather than public goods, gives rise to government failures. The solutions to these failures lie in fostering healthy political engagement within any institutional context, and not in circumventing or suppressing it. Transparency, which is citizen access to publicly available information about the actions of those in government, and the consequences of these actions, can play a crucial role by nourishing political engagement.

Book Synopsis Making India Work by : William Nanda Bissell
Download or read book Making India Work written by William Nanda Bissell and published by Penguin Global. This book was released on 2009 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a nation that has one of the highest growth rates in the world, India is plagued by poverty and corruption. Sixty years after Independence, India accounts for around 36 per cent of the world's poor. The deepening fault lines between the haves and the have-nots have given rise to skewed development and widespread discontent. William Nanda Bissell, Managing Director of the successful Fabindia chain, believes India's poverty is a direct result of its poor management by ruling elites who have mastered the art of winning elections but have no interest in the deeper issues of governance. He argues that economic development that consumes large amounts of natural resources and generates enormous pollution is not a luxury available to countries that are beginning their development now. Instead, he proposes a radical, new paradigm for development that delinks consumption from quality of life without destroying the natural environment in the process. Making India Work echo the ideas and beliefs that underpin the Constitution of India; but it ventures beyond the hackneyed phrases of development to focus on strategies which can, Bissell believes, end poverty in India in five years.
Book Synopsis The Making of an Indian Metropolis by : Prashant Kidambi
Download or read book The Making of an Indian Metropolis written by Prashant Kidambi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social history of colonial Bombay in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, a pivotal time in its emergence as a modern metropolis. Drawing together strands that hitherto have been treated in a piecemeal fashion and based on a variety of archival sources, the book offers a systematic analytical account of historical change in a premier colonial city. In particular, it considers the ways in which the turbulent changes unleashed by European modernity were negotiated, appropriated or resisted by the colonised in one of the major cities of the Indian Ocean region. A series of crises in the 1890s triggered far-reaching changes in the relationship between state and society in Bombay. The city’s colonial rulers responded to the upheavals of this decade by adopting a more interventionist approach to urban governance. The book shows how these new strategies and mechanisms of rule ensnared colonial authorities in contradictions that they were unable to resolve easily and rendered their relationship with local society increasingly fractious. The study also explores important developments within an emergent Indian civil society. It charts the density and diversity of the city’s expanding associational culture and shows how educated Indians embraced a new ethic of ’social service’ that sought to ’improve’ and ’uplift’ the urban poor. In conclusion, the book reflects on the historical legacy of these developments for urban society and politics in postcolonial Bombay. This wide-ranging work will be essential reading for specialists in British imperial history, postcolonial studies and urban social history. It will also be of interest to all those concerned with the comparative history of governance and public culture in the modern city.

Book Synopsis Indian Polity And Governance : For UPSC Civil Services and State PSC Examinations by : Nitin Shivahare
Download or read book Indian Polity And Governance : For UPSC Civil Services and State PSC Examinations written by Nitin Shivahare and published by S. Chand Publishing. This book was released on with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To say anything about the relevance of Indian Polity & Governance in civil service(s) examination would be like stating the obvious. However, change is the only constant thing in this ephemeral world of ours and so it is with UPSC and the pattern of civil services examination. The present status of GS can be best summed up by quoting Charles Dickens when he wrote that ';it was the best of times, it was the worst of times'. While on one hand, sweeping changes in the pattern of questioning and less than kind marking in all papers including optional has shaken the confidence of the most ardent of its advocates, on the other hand however, the indelible presence of a substantial portion of Indian Polity in all papers has proved it beyond doubt that you can love it or hate it but you can never be indifferent towards it. This edition presents the dynamic aspect of Indian Polity - the living, breathing, ever-changing, ever-challenging democratic environment which is as complex, as elusive and as mind boggling as the realities of India itself. Democracy, one can say, is the arena where the various theories and principles wrestle, grapple and jostle with each other to prove their pertinence and justify their existence! This book has been done in an equally diligent and devoted manner for revealing the complexities while retaining the simplicity of the subject in hand. I hope the present work will prove to be a fascinating, informative and enriching read for both students and casual but curious readers alike.

Book Synopsis Corporate Ethics, Governance, And Social Responsibility: Precepts And Practices by : A. C. Fernando
Download or read book Corporate Ethics, Governance, And Social Responsibility: Precepts And Practices written by A. C. Fernando and published by Pearson Education India. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is profit-making the only goal of a business? Should an unbridled market mechanism drive corporate enterprise? To what extent should corporations compensate for the manifest and hidden costs that are incurred by the society at large? These are some of the questions that have engaged specialist economists, business barons, corporate heads and management experts for decades. A consensus has emerged that corporate practices cannot bypass the fundamental demands of ethical behaviour, that administration and policies of governance have to be more transparent and publicly accountable, and that businesses must be sensitive to the community and environment within which they are established. This has led to the emergence of three key concepts of contemporary businesses, namely, business or corporate ethics, corporate governance, and corporate social responsibility.

This includes the ILO Decent Work program, the national agenda for inclusive growth, and national regulatory frameworks for labour and education. Chapters in the second half of the volume focus on how employment policy works in practice and its impact on manufacturing workers, the self-employed, women, and rural workers.

Employment Policy in Emerging Economies will interest scholars, policy makers and students of the Indian economy and South Asia more generally.
