This book was released on 1997 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collected essays in this book provide a comparative examination of the process of grassroots mobilization and the development of community-based forms of popular democracy in Central and South America. The first part contains studies from individual countries on organizations ranging from those supported by governments and integrated into the country's political structure to groups that were organized against the existing political system. The organizations studied included those focusing on a particular concern, such as housing, and those with wide responsibility for community affairs; but all were organizations based on common interests where people lived and, in some cases, where people worked. The second part offers theme studies on men, women and differential participation; problems and meanings associated with decentralization, especially in relation to devolution of power to the local level and the construction of popular alternatives; and the competing theoretical paradigms of new social movements and resource mobilization.

Book excerpt: Case studies examining the connections between women’s local-level political and social actions and the development of democratic systems. The book illustrates how community-based actions, programs, and organizations that allow women to determine their lives and participate in decision making contribute to the creation of a civil society and thus enhance democracy. The case studies show how participation in grassroots movements promotes women’s involvement in their organizations, communities, and in societal institutions, as it influences state policy and empowers women in personal relationships.

Download or read book Social Base of Grassroots Politics in Assam written by Jogendra Kr Das and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 249 pages. 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: Developing a distinctive theoretical framework on civil society, this book examines how Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) contribute towards democratization in India and what conditions facilitate or inhibit their contribution. It assesses three different kinds of politics within civil society – liberal pluralist, neo-Marxist, and communitarian – which have had different implications in relation to democratization. By making use of in-depth empirical analysis and comparative case studies of three developmental NGOs that work among the tribal communities in the socio-historical context of south Rajasthan, the book shows that civil society is not necessarily a democratizing force, but that it can have contradictory consequences in relation to democratization. It discusses how the democratic effect of civil society is not a result of the "stock of social capital" in the community but is contingent upon the kinds of ideologies and interests that are present or ascendant not just within the institutions of civil society but also within the state. The book delivers new insights on NGOs, democratization, civil society, the state, political society, tribal politics, politics of Hindu Nationalism, international development aid and grassroots social movements in India. It enables readers to understand better the multifaceted nature of civil society, its relationship with the state, and its implications for development and democratization.

Book excerpt: Rethinking Democracy is an insightful and reflective monograph on democracy in general and Indian democracy in particular. In this work, Rajni Kothari revisits the core arguments he has laid down in his various writings in the past four decades Politics in India, State Against Democracy, Communalism in India, etc. While revisiting his writings, Kothari reflects, interrogates and even contests some of his earlier formulations on democracy, state and civil society, developing a new paradigm on the basis of his intellectual experience and activist experience. Kothari makes a powerful critique of prevailing democratic theory and practice in a changing global as well as Indian contaxt and concludes that democracy has failed to achieve its objective of human emancipation and survives merely as a dream. However, this disillusionment with democracy does not deter him from searching for an alternative model of a decentralized, participatory and emancipatory democracy.

Download or read book Democracy and Transparency in the Indian State written by Prashant Sharma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enactment of the national Right to Information (RTI) Act in 2005 has been produced, consumed, and celebrated as an important event of democratic deepening in India both in terms of the process that led to its enactment (arising from a grassroots movement) and its outcome (fundamentally altering the citizen--state relationship). This book proposes that the explanatory factors underlying this event may be more complex than imagined thus far. The book discusses how the leadership of the grassroots movement was embedded within the ruling elite and possessed the necessary resources as well as unparalleled access to spaces of power for the movement to be successful. It shows how the democratisation of the higher bureaucracy along with the launch of the economic liberalisation project meant that the urban, educated, high-caste, upper-middle class elite that provided critical support to the demand for an RTI Act was no longer vested in the state and had moved to the private sector. Mirroring this shift, the framing of the RTI Act during the 1990s saw its ambit reduced to the government, even as there was a concomitant push to privatise public goods and services. It goes on to investigate the Indian RTI Act within the global explosion of freedom of information laws over the last two decades, and shows how international pressures had a direct and causal impact both on its content and the timing of its enactment. Taking the production of the RTI Act as a lens, the book argues that while there is much to celebrate in the consolidation of procedural democracy in India over the last six decades, existing social and political structures may limit the extent and forms of democratic deepening occurring in the near future. It will be of interest to those working in the fields of South Asian Law, Asian Politics, and Civil Society.
