This book discusses the elite capture taking place in the
development programmes implemented through Grama Panchayats (GPs),
the lowest tier in the rural local self-government structure in
India. Inclusive growth being the cherished goal of all the
developing countries, including India, the book assesses whether
checks and balances incorporated in development programmes prevent
elite capture and promote inclusive development. It also highlights
the role of community-based organisations, such as SHGs, in
ensuring development benefits reach marginalized groups. The policy
makers in India introduced decentralised governance to facilitate
the participation of marginalized groups in the planning and
implementation of development programmes at the local level, and to
ensure that development benefits reach them. International
agreements such as the Hyogo Framework for Action, Millennium
Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals also call for
decentralised governance for inclusive growth. The issue of elite
capture has traditionally been studied mainly from the sociological
perspective, i.e., how the local upper/dominant castes and classes
garner the positions and benefits. But with the new and structured
governance system that is in place at the local level in
contemporary India, this book explores how decentralised governance
is addressing the issue of elite capture. The study closely
analyses micro processes of decentralisation to understand how
elite capture is taking place. Additionally, it examines this
concern from both governance and economic perspectives. The scope
of the book is wide, and encompasses several aspects such as the
functioning of the local government, decentralised governance,
checks and balances in development programmes, community-based
organisations, the upward political linkages and elite capture. It
is equally relevant to researchers from several social science
disciplines, civil society, policy makers, and implementers from
the grassroots to national level government.
