Download or read book When Crime Pays written by Milan Vaishnav and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thorough study of the co-existence of crime and democratic processes in Indian politics In India, the world's largest democracy, the symbiotic relationship between crime and politics raises complex questions. For instance, how can free and fair democratic processes exist alongside rampant criminality? Why do political parties recruit candidates with reputations for wrongdoing? Why are one-third of state and national legislators elected--and often re-elected--in spite of criminal charges pending against them? In this eye-opening study, political scientist Milan Vaishnav mines a rich array of sources, including fieldwork on political campaigns and interviews with candidates, party workers, and voters, large surveys, and an original database on politicians' backgrounds to offer the first comprehensive study of an issue that has implications for the study of democracy both within and beyond India's borders.

Book Synopsis Democratization from Above by : Anjali Thomas Bohlken
Download or read book Democratization from Above written by Anjali Thomas Bohlken and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-11 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democratization from Above seeks to explain why some national and state governments in the developing world introduce reforms to make local governance more democratic while others neglect or actively undermine democracy at local levels of government. The study challenges conventional wisdom that local democratization is implemented as a means of granting more autonomy to local actors. Instead, Anjali Thomas Bohlken argues that local democratization offers higher level government elites who lack control over party organizational networks an alternative means of increasing the effectiveness of local intermediaries on whom these elites rely to mobilize political support. The book starts with a focus on India and uses original data, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative evidence, to show support for the argument. The study then relies on an original cross-national dataset to show how the argument helps explain the variation in the implementation of local democratization reforms across the developing world.
Book Synopsis Clients and Constituents by : Jennifer Bussell
Download or read book Clients and Constituents written by Jennifer Bussell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars of distributive politics often emphasize partisanship and clientelism. However, as Jennifer Bussell demonstrates in Clients and Constituents, legislators in "patronage democracies" also provide substantial constituency service: non-contingent, direct assistance to individual citizens. Bussell shows how the uneven character of access to services at the local level-often due to biased allocation on the part of local intermediaries-generates demand for help from higher-level officials. The nature of these appeals in turn provides incentives for politicians to help their constituents obtain public benefits. Drawing on a new cross-national dataset and extensive evidence from India-including sustained qualitative shadowing of politicians, novel elite and citizen surveys, and an experimental audit study with a near census of Indian state and national legislators-this book provides a theoretical and empirical examination of political responsiveness in developing countries. It highlights the potential for an under-appreciated form of democratic accountability, one that is however rooted in the character of patronage-based politics.
Book Synopsis On The Waterfront: Water Distribution, Technology And Agrarian Change In A South Indian Canal Irrigation System by : Peter P. Mollinga
Download or read book On The Waterfront: Water Distribution, Technology And Agrarian Change In A South Indian Canal Irrigation System written by Peter P. Mollinga and published by Orient Blackswan. This book was released on 2003 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Series: Wageningen University Water Resources Series. This book analyses the struggle over water in a large-scale irrigation system in Raichur District, Karnataka, South India. It looks at water control as a simultaneously technical, managerial and socio-political process. The triangle of accommodation of different categories of farmers, irrigation department officials and local politicians, involving water, votes, money, employment, credit and harassment, is documented. The book shows that the physical infrastructure, notably the division structures, are signposts of struggle, expressing the balance of power between farmers and the irrigation department, and that between head- and tail-end farmers. It concludes with a discussion of irrigation reform efforts in India: reasons for the very slow transformation of the sector, and how a more integrated perspective on irrigation could provide directions for the way forward.

Book Synopsis Assembly Required by : Donald Scherer
Download or read book Assembly Required written by Donald Scherer and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only one company can lead, prosper, and win in any technology market. Will it be yours? The marketplace leader, or Marketplace Gorilla, will win 50 percent of the revenue and 75 percent of the profits in a given market space. Every new enterprise hopes to reach this status, but most will fail. Whether a company employs a direct or inside sales approach, neither methodology will allow a sales team to acquire enough customers to dominate the market. Author Donald Scherer makes it clear out of the gate why these traditional sales methods will simply not work for most technology companies. Instead, he provides step-by-step instructions on how you can HYPERSCALE your sales operation by building a high-velocity sales assembly line based on the principles used by modern manufacturers. Employing these techniques will help your company mass-produce sales while simultaneously lowering the costs of sales—a powerful combination that leads to incredibly profitable growth, which eliminates the need for enormous amounts of institutional funding. Scherer’s techniques are based on the experiences of CrossBorder Solutions, an unfunded, undercapitalized software company that was sold to Thomson Reuters for a home-run valuation. He further refined his approach as the CEO of AssemblySales.com, a SaaS company that helps early-stage companies hyperscale their sales operations.
Book Synopsis Political Parties and Democracy by : Kay Lawson
Download or read book Political Parties and Democracy written by Kay Lawson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 1537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native scholars explore the relationship between political parties and democracy in regions around the world. The development of political parties over the past century is the story of three stages in the pursuit of power: liberation, democratization, and de-democratization. Political Parties and Democracy is comprised of five, stand-alone volumes that probe the realities of political parties at all three stages. In each volume, contributors explore the relationship between political parties and democracy (or democratization) in their nations, providing necessary historical, socioeconomic, and institutional context, as well as the details of contemporary political tensions. Contributors are distinguished indigenous scholars who have lived the truths they tell and are, thus, able to write with unique breadth, depth, and scope. They show the parties of their respective nations as they have developed through history and changing institutional structures, and they explain the balance of power among them—and between them and competing agencies of power—today.

Book Synopsis Corruption and Reform in India by : Jennifer Bussell
Download or read book Corruption and Reform in India written by Jennifer Bussell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks why some governments improve public services more effectively than others. Through the investigation of a new era of administrative reform, in which digital technologies may be used to facilitate citizens' access to the state, Jennifer Bussell's analysis provides unanticipated insights into this fundamental question. In contrast to factors such as economic development or electoral competition, this study highlights the importance of access to rents, which can dramatically shape the opportunities and threats of reform to political elites. Drawing on a sub-national analysis of twenty Indian states, a field experiment, statistical modeling, case studies, interviews of citizens, bureaucrats, and politicians, and comparative data from South Africa and Brazil, Bussell shows that the extent to which politicians rely on income from petty and grand corruption is closely linked to variation in the timing, management, and comprehensiveness of reforms. The book also illuminates the importance of electoral constituencies and coalition politics in shaping policy outcomes.
