Kuldeep Mathur

Public Policy and Politics in India

How Institutions Matter

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Policymaking in India evokes an image of rational decision-making and technical optimality. However, the arena of policymaking is characterized by conflict and contestation resolved through processes of negotiations and compromises. A significant amount of research in India focuses on policy goals and consequences, and less on policy processes. Breaking away from that approach, Public Policy and Politics in India directly addresses policy processes and discusses therole of institutions in policymaking in India.
