This book brings together cross-cultural perspectives on political
economy of social exclusion and a critical view of policies of
inclusion. The themes covered are political economy of social
exclusion; inclusionary policy outcomes; persistent challenges to
social exclusion and rethinking social exclusion and inclusion. The
contexts are located in varied geographies including India, South
East Asia, USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Papua New Guinea. The
book throws light on how, historically, social inclusion of various
excluded communities has always been a part of nation building with
varying results. Furthermore, it highlights how the terrain of
social exclusion is becoming increasingly complex today. It
provides the space to reimagine issues of inclusion and exclusion
within the social policy landscape of a country. It provides ways
to rethink policies of inclusion such that dialogue between the
excluded and the state is enhanced, and the systems of seeking
justice for a dignified life, peace and freedom are improved. It
appeals to policy makers, academicians and practitioners of
development and social policy studies, planning and governance in
both developing and developed countries.
In the era of globalization many minority populations are subject
to marginalization and expulsion from their traditional habitats
due to rapid economic restructuring and changing politico-spatial
relations. This book presents an analytical framework for
understanding how mobility is an inherent part of such changes. The
book demonstrates how current neoliberal policies are making people
increasingly on the move - whether voluntarily or forced, and
whether individually, as family, or as whole communities - and how
such mobility is changing the livelihoods of indigenous people,
with particular focus on how these transformations are gendered. It
queries how state policies and cross-border and cross-regional
connections have shaped and redefined the livelihood patterns,
rights and citizenship, identities, and gender relations of
indigenous peoples. It also identifies the dynamic changes that
indigenous men and women are facing, given rapid infrastructure
improvements and commercialization and/or industrialization in
their places of Environment. With a focus on mobility, this
innovative book gives students and researchers in development
studies, gender studies, human geography, anthropology and Asian
studies a more realistic assessment of peoples livelihood choices
under a time of rapid transformation, and the knowledge produced
may add value to present development policies and practices.
