Successive Indian governments have remained committed to market-oriented reform since its introduction in 1991. In a well-argued and controversial examination of the political dynamics that underlie that commitment, Jenkins challenges existing theories of the relationship between democracy and economic liberalization. He contends that while democracy and liberalization are no longer considered incompatible, the new thinking emphasizes the wholesome aspects of democracy, downplaying the temptations of populism and its reliance on obfuscatory tactics in defusing political resistance. In fact, the author argues, it is through such political maneuvering that democracy survives.

India's National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), passed in
2005, has been among the developing world's most ambitious
anti-poverty initiatives. By 'guaranteeing' 100 days of work
annually to every rural household, NREGA has sought to advance the
Indian constitution's commitment to securing citizens' 'right to
work'. This book is not a technical evaluation of programme
performance. It offers instead a detailed analysis of the politics
surrounding NREGA: the model of political action that motivated its
architects, the public advocacy and parliamentary maneuvering
involved in its passage, the political dynamics shaping
implementation at state and local levels, the institutional
constraints on reforming how it operates, and its complex impacts
on the political capacities of poor people.Based on their extensive
-- primarily qualitative -- field research, the authors examine
changing conceptions of rights and the challenges of making states
more accountable to their most disadvantaged citizens.Their
analysis of the politics of NREGA provides a window onto the inner
workings of Indian democracy and the complex character of the
Indian state as it attempts to upgrade its social welfare provision
to something more in keeping with the country's growing stature.
Set on a parallel earth, two countries by the name of Landport and
Lexington have fallen into disorder. The people have started to
realize their power and no longer want to settle for the status quo
but their oppressive governments aren't willing to let go of their
control so easily. The outcome is destructive. All of this is
happening on the year anniversary of the disappearance of the
mysterious ex-model turned revolutionary known as The Monster.
Everything is falling apart, unraveling in an explosive/implosive
poetic psychedelic journey. It's the beginning of the end...of the
end.
Family Man: The Art of Surviving Domestic Tranquility is a book for
men, about men. It's also a book for women, about men. But don't
worry, guys. It doesn't give away all your secrets - Just most of
them. Family Man is the kind of book that you can curl up with in a
corner and enjoy all day. It's also the kind of book that you can
leave in your bathroom's magazine rack to be enjoyed periodically
during those special alone times. It might even come in handy in
case of a toilet paper emergency. That's why we made the pages so
soft and pliable. But most of all, this book isn't about just any
family, it's about your family. And if you call yourself a family
man, then you need to read it, or at least your wife needs to read
it and tell you what's in it and perhaps hit you over the head with
it from time to time. That's why we made the cover so hard and
durable.
