Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has been experiencing chequered results of democratic decentralization process initiated more than a decade ago. The new dispensation of devolution of power and funds in a relatively more transparent manner following the 73rd CA Act, 1992 has brought about a change in the rural leadership pattern as well as in the process of village empowerment. The new politico-administrative era has led to the emergence of local leadership in the country with a new vigor. Assam is not an exception to that new revolution of grassroots governance, where the experiment of Panchayati Raj system had been a gross failure in the past. But the new dispensation has added a new lease of life to the PRIs in Assam and added a newer dimension in representation. At the academic level, PRIs, generally do not attract much scholars and academics in the state to a desired extent. Here, in the present book “Social Base of Grassroots Politics in Assam†, an attempt has been made to fill up this vacuum of our knowledge regarding the sociological appraisal of grassroots politics in the Indian state of Assam. The author has grouped some very pertinent issues through an inquiry of social background features of the representatives of Panchayats of a specific universe based in Assam for a broader understanding and generalization of grassroots governance. The quality of representativeness of any political organ in a democracy is the very basis and essence of democratic governance and it is also important to look as to how our plural society finds representations in the political apparatuses, be it in the top or in the bottom. Here lies the significance of studying the grassroots governance, which is now, becomes a part of the constitution itself. The book deals with intensively the PRIs of Assam with a special reference to the district of Kamrup from a sociological perspective. It is probably the first attempt of this kind, which is interdisciplinary in its approach, and it obviously addresses to a large audience even beyond the social science disciplines. Our administrators, policy-makers, planners, political activists, students, scholars and general readers interested in the study of grassroots governance and democratic decentralization as such will find Dr. Jogendra Kr. Das’s book useful and stimulating.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on politics and society in India, this book explores new areas enmeshed in the complex social, economic and political processes in the country. Linking the structural characteristics with the broader sociological context, the book emphasizes the strong influence of sociological issues on politics, such as social milieu shaping and the articulation of the political in day-to-day events. Political events are connected with the ever-changing social, economic and political processes in order to provide an analytical framework to explain ‘peculiarities’ of Indian politics. Bidyut Chakrabarty argues that three major ideological influences of colonialism, nationalism and democracy have provided the foundational values of Indian politics. Structured thematically and chronologically, this work is a useful resource for students of political science, sociology and South Asian studies.

The survey ratings and narrative reports on 192 countries and a group of select territories are used by policy makers, the media, international corporations, and civic activists and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. Press accounts of the survey findings appear in hundreds of influential newspapers in the United States and abroad and form the basis of numerous radio and television reports. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.

Book Synopsis From Grassroots Activism to Disinformation by : Aim Sinpeng
Download or read book From Grassroots Activism to Disinformation written by Aim Sinpeng and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on the role of social media in the past two decades in Southeast Asia. It traces the emergence of social media discourse in Southeast Asia, and its potential as a “liberation technology” in both democratizing and authoritarian states. It explains the growing decline in internet freedom and increasingly repressive and manipulative use of social media tools by governments, and argues that social media is now an essential platform for control. The contributors detail the increasing role of “disinformation” and “fake news” production in Southeast Asia, and how national governments are creating laws which attempt to address this trend, but which often exacerbate the situation of state control. From Grassroots Activism to Disinformation explores three main questions: How did social media begin as a vibrant space for grassroots activism to becoming a tool for disinformation? Who were the main actors in this transition: governments, citizens or the platforms themselves? Can reformists “reclaim” the digital public sphere? And if so, how?
