Prem Kumar Rajaram

Ruling the Margins

Colonial Power and Administrative Rule in the Past and Present

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Shedding light on administrative rule so prevalent in the Global North via an examination of its implementation in the Global South, Prem Kumar Rajaram expertly demonstrates that administrative power is a social process and the authority and terms of rule derived are tenuous, dependent on producing unitary meaning and direction to diverse political, social and economic relationships and practices.
