Author: Ashwani Kumar
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1446202569
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
The annual Global Civil Society Yearbooks provide an indispensable guide to global civil society or civic participation and action around the world. The 2009 Yearbook explores the framings, strategies and impacts of a range of actors on poverty and its alleviation.

The Global Civil Society Yearbook remains the standard work on all aspects of contemporary global civil society for activists, practitioners, students and academics alike.

Civil Society and Democratization in India
Author: Sarbeswar Sahoo
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135905649
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
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.

Author: Ashok Antony D'Souza
Publisher: Niruta Publications
ISBN: 8192342433
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Noam Chomsky - a world renowned linguist, philosopher and outspoken critic of US foreign policy and the media - has consistently written and spoken about the dangers of the nexus between US imperialism and Neo-liberalism. This book explores if the experiences of 'social activists' in India corroborate major tenets of Chomsky's discourse on globalization and US imperialism.
