About the Book

Affirmative action for change and for a definite change in the matters of governance is palpable from the collective wisdom of the matured Indian electorate. The mandate which was primarily exercised by the informed and concerned young citizens of the country reflects the essence of Indian democracy. The young India today is averse to polemics and impatient for growth and accountability. Given the inescapable fragility of the political system India has to evolve democratic and inclusive engagement. No doubt the socio-political and the economic fabric is delicately poised and can anytime lead to volatility. However, timidity should not overwhelm the process of democratic consolidation, significant progress in the spheres of information technology and mass upsurge in upward social mobility providing space for the so far neglected, Dalits, women, children and the, others in the margins.

The book Governance and Citizenship traces the historical trajectory of the evolution of the notion of state and the art of changing contours of governance while delving into the various debates and theorisation on the subject area from a globalized perspective. The book tries to locate the Indian State and the changing characteristics of governance and citizenship. A sincere effort has gone into exploring the eluding issues like poverty, migration, unemployment, institutional arrangement and policy initiatives to deal with such issues. The transition from lacklustre governance to good governance is eagerly awaited.
