Primary data was collected from villagers, front-line public health officials, elected local government (Panchayat) members and party cadres through focus group discussions and interviews. Employing the Foucauldian governmentality framework, the analysis moves away from a depoliticized understanding of decentralized delivery of rural health. The study concludes that Panchayats’ contributions to rural health are influenced by politically motivated factors, which may not be compatible with considerations of democracy and efficiency. Panchayat performance in the study villages remained poor as the state allowed them only regulated freedom and did not create space for their autonomy to flourish. Rural health decentralization led to new forms of governmentality as Panchayats were instrumentally used to consolidate state power at the rural grassroots. Top-down management of political process in these areas makes local government mechanical outpost of the ruling party.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"52 3","pages":"Pages 135-141"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141978841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyzing post-disaster scenarios after recent cyclones like Amphan and Yaas we aim to answer analytical questions like, what costs are born by people in vulnerable landscapes when disaster mitigation action plans are marred by climate politics? How do political capacities of different actors shape the implementation of climate action in the aftermath of disasters? These questions might justify whether climate actions are part of a comprehensive strategy of vulnerability reduction or merely symbolic gestures that lack a deeper understanding of place-based environmental and social complexities that are intertwined with the seemingly visible impacts of climate change. Drawing on empirical observations from selected disaster affected villages of the Indian Sundarbans, we argue that competing models of climate change led disaster management requires protracted engagement with the overarching role of electoral politics in mediating the crisis scenario and post-disaster recovery.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"52 2","pages":"Pages 63-75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140602466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Communist state of Vietnam is now experiencing the same situation. The government has recently started a propaganda campaign to encourage its citizens to not postpone marriage and having children. This article explores one recent attempt—a viral post published on the government's Facebook page in November 2023 urging young citizens to marry before 30, attracting hundreds of thousands of reactions and comments. The article examines this heteronormative message and netizens’ comments, which show humor, resistance, and critiques of the government's welfare system. Using the concepts of (counter-) interpellation, it reveals the nuances of the power relations between the state and its people in this case study where biopolitics and personal choice intersect, illuminating how social networks provide a discursive space for mundane political engagement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"52 2","pages":"Pages 100-109"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1568484924000169/pdfft?md5=434b2d9962768606ac202c66180a3df7&pid=1-s2.0-S1568484924000169-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141398120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
