This book examines the land question in neoliberal India based on a
cohesive framework focusing on socio-legal and judicial
interactions in a point of departure from the political-economy
approach to land issues. It sheds light on several complex aspects
of land matters in India and evolves a critical and
multi-dimensional discourse by mapping out exchanges between social
and political actors, the State, elites, citizenry, and the legal
battle or judicial interpretations on land as right to property.
Based on the themes of socio-legal policy and perspective on
‘land’ on the one hand and jurisprudence on the land question
on the other, the volume discusses topics such as conclusive land
titling; urban land governance; governance of forest land;
land-leasing practices, policies, and interventions from the
perspective of women; land acquisition policies and laws; how land
matters interface with environmental issues; and judicial debates
on ‘compensation’ against land acquisitions. It covers a wide
range of case studies from all over India by bringing together
specialists from across backgrounds. Comprehensive and topical,
this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of development
studies, political studies, law, sociology, political economy, and
public policy, as well as to professionals in NGOs, civil society
organisations, think tanks, planning and public administration,
lawyers, civil services and training institutes, and judicial and
forest academies. Those working on rural and urban land issues in
India, land management, land governance, environmental laws and
governance, property rights, resource conflicts, social work, and
rural development will find this book to be of special interest.
