Produktbeschreibung
This study deals with the efforts at
decentralisation
and development in four south Indian
states:Karnataka,Andhra Pradesh,Tamil Nadu and
Kerala. The study takes a comparative approach to
studying economic reforms and political
decentralisation processes in these states. The
study contends
that economic reforms have a tendency to strengthen
state level regimes, which in turn,may or may not
choose to decentralise further in their in their
polities. Taking inspiration from the latest work on
comparing state level politics, the study argues
that two sets of comparisons are possible:
Karnataka's experience with Kerala and that of
Andhra Pradesh's experience with Tami Nadu. The
study however also takes into account the fact that
other varieties of comparisons are also possible
between the south Indian states. This unique study
brings together the experience of four south Indian
states in their attempts to foster decentralised
governance and the challenges they face in their
developmental politics, particularly since the onset
of economic and decentralisation reforms in India
since the early ninties.
