N2  - Local Governance in India draws on the basic theoretical and practical aspects of localizing governance and illuminates how local governance unfolds in India. To help comprehend relevant issues contextually, the book focuses on the historical, socio-economic and political milieus and draws extensively on examples and cases from India. By understanding local governance in the wider political scenario, it also endeavors to reconceptualize local governance in India as integral to the country’s macro politics. The book offers a broad analysis of specific programmes, such as MGNREGA and structures of governance at the grass-roots level, thereby providing insights into relatively less-discussed aspects and helps grasp the concept of governance in a policy perspective.Containing varied examples, case studies and literature review, this textbook would be an ideal companion for students of political science, public administration, urban and rural development, sociology, social work and economics.Key Features: Provides a concise and well-balanced coverage of rural and urban governance in India Incorporates insights into and explanations of both Western and non-Western perspectives of local governance Dwells on contemporary trends in democratization and local governance Makes a projective study of future of local governance in India
