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.
