This book examines the structural changes in the labour market in
North-East India. Going beyond the conventional study of tea and
agricultural sectors, it focuses on the nature, pattern and
structure of work and employment in the region as well as documents
emerging shifts in the labour force towards farm to non-farm
dynamics. The chapters explore historical developments in
employment patterns, labour market policies, issues of gender and
social-religious dimensions, as well as point to growing forms of
casual, informal and contractual labour across sectors. Through
large-scale data and detailed case studies on unfree labour in
plantations and those employed in crafts, handloom and the
manufacturing industry, the book provides insights into labour and
employment in the region. It also delves into the temporal and
spatial dimensions of non-farm employment and its relationship with
rural income distribution and labour mobility. By bringing
interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars working on North-East
India, this work fills a major gap in the political economy of the
labour market in the region. The volume will be useful to scholars
and researchers of development studies, North-East India studies,
labour studies, economics, sociology and political science as well
to those involved with governance and policymaking.

The book explores the debates surrounding sustainable livelihood in
the neoliberal era effected through transformation of the nature of
work and the role of institutions, particularly in the Global
South. By creating gainful work and employment opportunities
through formal and informal institutions using progressive
instruments and innovations within rural and urban economies,
livelihood becomes 'sustainable', thereby reducing inequality and
increasing resilience among households. Based on both theoretical
and empirical studies from Asia and Africa, the book establishes
the relationship between three broad concepts - work, institutions
and sustainable development. The content has been divided into
three broad sections: Rural Economy and Its Transformations;
Urbanisation and Sustainable Livelihood; and Innovations and
Instruments of Transformation. This book is a valuable resource for
scholars of development studies, rural and urban studies, labour
studies besides economics, sociology, political science and
policymaking.

Handbook of Tribal Politics in India is undoubtedly the most
authoritative source for a systematic and comprehensive study of
this vibrant field of scholarship. Divided into three sections, the
chapters cover a broad range of themes ranging from a general
introduction to tribal politics to exploring contemporary issues
and concerns within the discipline. The book presents a trajectory
and authentic overview of tribal politics while keeping in mind the
changing relationship between tribal communities and democracy.
Using qualitative and quantitative data, it studies the role of
tribal political representatives in public policy-making, issues
related to communities, and the nature and dynamics of tribal
politics at the state and national levels. It explores the
patterns, conditions and challenges of tribes' participation in
electoral politics and presents the issues and agendas that will
continue to affect the tribal politics in future. This book is an
essential resource for teaching and research in political science
and other social science disciplines studying comparative political
dimensions.
In this deeply researched book, the author has produced a scholarly
work of immense importance to understand the microprocesses of
interrelationship between the economic and social variable. This
book will draw the attention of all those interested in agragrian
social stuctures, globalization, capitalization and ethnographic
studies.
