This book examines the causes and consequences of marginalization
of social groups and the state of democratic decentralization in
India in the unfolding context of globalization and changing
perspectives of development models and institutions. The first of
its kind, it correlates macro-and micro-level issues to understand
social exclusion and inclusion and the level of participation of
democratic institutions at the grassroots level since economic
liberalization (1991) and the 73rd Constitution Amendment Act of
1992, marking three decades since granting constitutional status to
the Panchayati Raj Institutions. The study looks at the linkages
between certain key themes: the neoliberal model of development,
growth, and distributive justice; the role and mandate of
grassroots-level public institutions enshrined in the Constitution,
inclusive growth, and the Indian State; the role of political
executives from marginalized communities; factors involved in
people's active participation in the development process; and
challenges in current political structures, inclusion of
marginalized communities in governance and development, and real
empowerment of local bodies and institutions. The book argues that
legislative enactments, constitutional status, reservation of seats
to marginalized communities, and so on can only empower local
bodies and their leadership symbolically. The success of these
provisions depends on the overall development model of the country;
the support of national and state governments; the socio-economic
and political environment of the institutions; and effective
service and accountability. Topical and rich in empirical data,
including case studies, this book will be an essential read for
scholars and researchers of political science, development studies,
governance, public administration, sociology, public policy, and
also for government agencies, administrators and bureaucrats,
policymakers, international organizations, think tanks, and NGOs
working in the area.
