Book Synopsis Media, Nationalism and Globalization by : Sumanth Inukonda
Download or read book Media, Nationalism and Globalization written by Sumanth Inukonda and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the meanings of nationalism in a post-globalization, postcolonial context. It provides an in-depth understanding of the relationship between marginalized groups, media and politics by a focused study of the Telangana movement in India. Events like the Arab Spring, unrest in Myanmar and Ukraine, and the Brexit, Kurdish and Catalan referendums have proved how catalytic the changing media environment has been in reshaping the nature of resistance and social movements. Based on the author’s ethnographic research, this book examines how marginalized groups engage with the media and their community to participate in political processes. Analyzing public meetings, folk performances, pamphlets and media reports of the Telangana movement, the author reflects on the cultural notions of nationalism and the politics of state formation in the post-colonial context. This volume also evaluates the role of students and intellectuals in contemporary social movements and in uniting the discontents of globalization. Highlighting intersections of performativity, geography and justice, this book examines changing articulations of identity and everyday forms of resistance. It will be useful for students and research scholars interested in media and communication, cultural studies, political sciences, ethnic and minority studies and sociocultural movements in India.
Book Synopsis Structural Dynamics of HIV by : Deanna Kerrigan
Download or read book Structural Dynamics of HIV written by Deanna Kerrigan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the structural dynamics of HIV among populations at heightened vulnerability to infection as the result of stigma, discrimination and marginalization. It first examines how the socio-structural context shapes HIV risk and how affected populations and national governments and programs have responded to these structural constraints. Chapters focus on structural determinants of HIV risk among transgender women in Guatemala, migrant workers in Mexico, Nigeria and Vietnam, and people who inject drugs in Tanzania. Next, the book examines resilience and community empowerment and mobilization among key populations such as female sex workers in the Dominican Republic and India, and young women and girls in Botswana, Malawi and Mozambique. A third set of chapters explores how national responses to HIV have addressed the role of structural factors in diverse political, geographic and epidemic settings including: Brazil, South Africa, Ukraine and the USA. Ultimately, effective and sustainable responses to HIV among marginalized groups must be grounded in an in-depth understanding of the factors that create vulnerability and risk and impede access to services. Throughout, this book brings together a rigorous social science research perspective with a strong rights-based approach to inform improvements in HIV programs and policies. It offers new insights into how to better address HIV and the health and human rights of historically excluded communities and groups.

Book Synopsis The Crises of Microcredit by : Isabelle Guérin
Download or read book The Crises of Microcredit written by Isabelle Guérin and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microcredit programmes, long considered efficient development tools, now face unprecedented crises in a number of countries. Is this the end of microcredit or rather an essential step in its expansion? Should we stop microcredit altogether or rethink the way it is implemented? Drawing on extensive empirical research conducted in various parts of the world - from Morocco to Senegal to India - this important volume examines the whole chain of microcredit to provide the answers to these questions. In doing so, the authors highlight the diversity of crises, both in intensity and in nature, while also shedding light on a diversity of causes, be it microcredit organizations unprepared for massive growth, saturated local economies or greedy investors and shareholders attracted by profits. Crucially, the authors demonstrate that microcredit is not a monolithic project, and the crises should also be analysed in the light of national histories and policies. An original and necessary intervention in what has become one of the most contentious topics within the development world.

Download or read book Inside-Out written by Smanu and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a speck of fire from mans inherent quest to be at a perfect self-contented oneness with nature. Todays rat race towards technological development might have thrusted man to lack awareness of that quest. Infact, the human journey and conditioning itself has an inherent character of making him lack awareness of his pristine aspects. This book is a humble effort in reminding man of his own quest, in facilitating him to get in touch with the truth long-suppressed and forgotten. The growing imbalance in the society is finding its expression not merely as the materialistic gap between haves and have-nots, but also in the form of Kundalini/Consciousness Awakening in more and more people. The spiritual deficit of the human collective is manifesting as spiritual burden on some. We know the many scientific laws of conservation, dont we? Among other things, the book propounds a possibility that our incapacity to comprehend God might be the limitiation of human evolution, as of now! As much as the book talks about God, Spirituality and Mysticism, the book is more an effort in questioning the sufficiency of science for current needs of human evolution. Time has come for man to expand his horizons not through Technology but by regaining his roots of spiritual strength and in the process expand the horizons of science. No development can be linear and no one instrument can prove self-sufficient for human evolution. In that sense, Science has reached its threshold. Yet, Science with Heart is waiting to be discovered and explored through the reinstatement of Trinity and Balance in the world. This book might not contain any new spiritual talk or wisdom for the spiritually inclined. But it might make a very interesting read for those who are not spiritually inclinedyet. And when we realize that the term spiritually inclined is a misnomer, for we are the spirit, the purpose behind this book would have been fulfilled.
Book Synopsis Media, Politics and Environment by : Detlef Briesen
Download or read book Media, Politics and Environment written by Detlef Briesen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental protection has not equally established itself as a permanent fixture in the political systems of all countries: to date, governments and entire societies have responded to environmental challenges in a variety of ways, and concrete environmental policy is still a highly national matter. Moreover, the perception of environmental problems varies considerably on a global scale. The reasons normally cited for these differences largely stem from the environmental policy debates themselves, e.g. poverty, ignorance, capital interests, etc. In contrast, this book shows that concrete environmental policy emerges from a complex interplay of mass media and political conflicts: first, the mass media provide the framework for national environmental policy through agenda-setting, framing and scandalization; second, the mass media thereby change values in the political and social discourse, e.g. by altering the perception of global commons and expanding the possibilities of interest articulation; and third, this can lead to political decision-making processes in which legal and other measures for environmental protection are enforced. The book systematically compares industrialized countries such as Germany and Japan with several rapidly emerging countries in South and Southeast Asia.
Book Synopsis Environment, Politics and Activism by : Somnath Batabyal
Download or read book Environment, Politics and Activism written by Somnath Batabyal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of the media in environmental politics and activism in the 21st century. It highlights how politics is mediated in myriad ways through newspapers and news channels, through mobile telephony and through social networking sites. Further, it shows how the media creates and influences relevant discourses, builds campaigns and awareness, and adopts and discards issues. With a range of perspectives on issues of environmental justice and equity, the volume scrutinizes how the media discourse on environment shapes our politics, and the role of international politics, finance, youth, newspapers, magazines and 24-hour television. Bringing together academics, activists and media persons, this highly topical book will serve as significant reading for researchers and scholars of development studies and media studies, as well as policymakers, NGOs and environmental campaigners.

Book Synopsis India and the Age of Crisis by : Michael Gillan
Download or read book India and the Age of Crisis written by Michael Gillan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the discussion of India in the public sphere has focused on economic policy settings and restructuring, annual growth rates, trade relations and the nation’s status as an economic and political actor within the international system. This collection considers other dimensions of socio-economic transformation in India and its profound impact on society and nature. While economic and ecological fragility are now very apparently problems of a ‘global’ scale they are nevertheless grounded and experienced at the local scale where vulnerable and marginal people located in the urban periphery and in rural areas confront these ‘crises’ most acutely. The studies in this collection encompass many of the most important social and political concerns of India in this age of crisis, namely, the politics of water resources and land acquisition and use; the interaction between food security, markets, and institutions; the politics and strategies of labour movements; narratives and practices of ‘development’ and contestation over forms of agrarian production in India; the link between urbanisation and local class, caste and political actors; and the potential for civil society to either be co-opted or to contest neoliberal logics and forms of governance. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of South Asian Studies.
Book Synopsis The Microfinance Impact by : Ranjula Bali Swain
Download or read book The Microfinance Impact written by Ranjula Bali Swain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial inclusion through microfinance has become a powerful force in improving the living conditions of poor farmers, rural non-farm enterprises and other vulnerable groups. In its unique ability to link the existing extensive network of India’s rural bank branches with the Self Help Groups (SHG), the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has covered up to 97 million poor households by March 2010 under its Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme. Policy-makers have proclaimed SHGs as ‘‘the most potent initiative ... for delivering financial services to the poor in a sustainable manner." This book presents a comprehensive scientific assessment of the impact of the Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme (SBLP) on the member households. The book discusses wide-ranging topics, including the rural financial sector in India, the history and structure of the SBLP, the impact methodologies, the economic and social impact of microfinance, its role in building assets while reducing poverty and vulnerability, the role of women and their empowerment, training and accumulation of human capital and policy implications of lessons learned. The empirical results show that vulnerability of the more mature SHG members declines significantly. Vulnerability also falls for villages with better infrastructure and for SHGs that are formed by NGOs and linked by banks. The results strongly demonstrate that on average, there is a significant increase in the empowerment of the female participants. The economic impact of SBLP is found to be the most empowering. Greater autonomy and changes in social attitudes also lead to female empowerment. The investigation further reveals that training (especially business training) has a definite positive impact on assets but not on income. The impact of training can be improved through better infrastructure (as in paved roads), linkage model type, and the training organiser. Bridging the gap in the existing literature and between academics and practitioners, this book moves beyond the usual theoretical issues in the impact assessment literature and draws on new developments in methodology. It will be of interest to academics, development practitioners and students of economics, political science, sociology, public policy and development studies.
Book Synopsis India's Glocal Leader by : Tejaswini Pagadala
Download or read book India's Glocal Leader written by Tejaswini Pagadala and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stereotype image of Nara Chandrababu Naidu has been formed in the last 40 years. His story is remarkable at every level. But often questions, which is the important story? The one where he evolves into one of the extraordinary leaders in Indian politics over four decades? Or that of an ordinary man from a farming family who worked his way to the top by keeping his family and political party together? That which reflects his political acumen, intellect, and hardwork? Or the one that unveils the person who introduced Andhra Pradesh to India? This book attempts to show how Naidu has been a quintessential survivor in Indian politics. This book analyses how Naidu's ability to combine politics and governance has touched every aspect of Indian domestic and foreign policy, from the struggle for social, technological, economic and administrative reforms to creating world-class institutions. It establishes the fact that Naidu, today, is a symbol and an embodiment of many Indias - modern, progressive, rural and cultural.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the author, rather than alleviating poverty, microfinance financialises poverty.

Book Synopsis Missing: Half the Story by : Kalpana Sharma
Download or read book Missing: Half the Story written by Kalpana Sharma and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toilets, trees and gender? Can there be a connection? Is there a gender angle to a business story? Is gender in politics only about how many women get elected to parliament? Is osteoporosis a women's disease? Why do more women die in natural disasters? These are not the questions journalists usually ask when they set out to do their jobs as reporters, sub-editors, photographers of editors. Yet, by not asking, are they missing out on something, perhaps half the story? This is the question this book, edited and written by journalists, for journalists and the lay public interested in media, raises. Through examples from the media, and from their own experience, the contributors explain the concept of gender-sensitive journalism and look at a series of subjects that journalists have to cover - sexual assault, environment, development, business, politics, health, disasters, conflict - and set out a simple way of integrating a gendered lens into day-to-day journalism. Written in a non-academic, accessible style, this book is possibly the first of its kind in India - one that attempts to inject a gender perspective into journalism. Published by Zubaan.
