The problems that have surfaced today have been always present but been brushed aside or given symptomatic treatment in the governance and policy sphere. Engaging with the planning and its interrelated dynamics in Delhi from a social justice perspective, the article explores the imagination of the city as formulated over the years through urban planning, how it impacts the integration of the migrant labor in the city and how the state capacity is central to these questions.","PeriodicalId":56338,"journal":{"name":"India Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"229 - 245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14736489.2021.1895567","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48487943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Series of questions have raised about the governance aspect of organizations associated with the management of COVID-19. Based on this context, this article argues that the idea of governance lacks human-centric values and this has impacted the functionality aspect of governance, especially at the time of the novel coronavirus outbreak. Discrepancies in different tiers of the governance system resulted in producing health-related stigmas and discriminatory behaviors toward particular sections of the population like the migrant people. It suffices the need for recasting in the concept of governance concerning pandemic. The study further taking instances from Assam based on primary and secondary sources tries to show the loopholes in state-level governance functionality in terms of providing care during the health crisis. Moreover, it will look into the possibilities of a more efficient form of governance where the potentiality of Panchayati Raj institutions (PRIs) in bringing care and trust at the community level will be explored.","PeriodicalId":56338,"journal":{"name":"India Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"213 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14736489.2021.1895565","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48694556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The combined impact of such developments has been an erasure of basic rights to life and livelihood for the poor, rooted not only in state incapacity but also in state acquiring impunity for its acts of coercion and violence against its own citizens. Many of these processes have come into stark focus during the Covid-19 pandemic, but have longer histories and are likely to have impact far beyond the pandemic. The paper examines some of these processes with the help of three interlinked but conceptually distinct strands: (a) étatisation and suspension of politics; (b) (en)forcement of a new normal during the health emergency; and (c) erasure of right to life and livelihood.","PeriodicalId":56338,"journal":{"name":"India Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"104 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14736489.2021.1895564","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42035620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reason of the state and the regulation of individual conduct in a pandemic gives primary importance to the idea of public safety. Here, public order takes precedence over law enforcement, where law enforcement is geared to meet only one end, i.e., public safety. This paper argues that during a pandemic, the police creates different kinds of governmental order by stressing on security and public safety as an essential requirement. In doing so, the police form public safety as a reason or an element of state’s rationale for enforcing laws, thereby curtailing individual rights and liberties. The paper demonstrates how police can transform the rule of law into the rule of order within the state by changing law enforcement techniques to maintain a stable political order.","PeriodicalId":56338,"journal":{"name":"India Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"142 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14736489.2021.1895561","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43900829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extant economic and strategic interest-based expla- nations do not sufficiently explain some key anomalies in India’s international climate policy and have justified such contradictions in India’s diplomatic dis- course as realpolitik or pragmatic diplomacy. We argue that in order to facilitate India’s meaningful participation in the international climate change regime, we need to engage with these contradictions and understand India’s aspirations for moral and material leadership that stem from the complex interaction between economic and strategic interests and ideational factors. We posit that India’s anti-colonial discourse that repudiated Western materialism, along with its de- sire to be a moral power in global politics coupled with its desire to mimic the western standard of living, creates a development dilemma for India’s postcolo- nial identity in the global climate change regime. India’s continuous attempt to resolve this dilemma has produced specific frames–projecting itself as a victim, mistrust of the West, framing the Earth’s CO2 carrying capacity as extended sovereign territory, and national exceptionalism–in the climate change discourse. These frames are consistent with India’s broader foreign policy discourse as a postcolonial nation and have coalesced India’s claim to moral leadership, seek commitments from developed countries to do their part, and simultaneously play- ing a limited role in the international climate regime.","PeriodicalId":56338,"journal":{"name":"India Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"1 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14736489.2021.1875699","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48291833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Singh, when political leaders promote an inclusive form of subnationalism, it creates a feeling of cohesive solidarity across the region, which helps to achieve superior social welfare outcomes in the Indian states. Ziegfeld provides an elite-centered explanation for the emergence and success of India’s regional parties, and considers Indian politics to be dominated by clientelistic relationships between parties and voters, which leads to delivery of particularistic rather than public goods. The article also discusses two key themes emerging from the books relating to the importance of subnational versus national identity, and the significance of interests versus ideas in shaping Indian politics and public policy. Finally, it identifies future areas for research on regional parties and subnationalism in India.","PeriodicalId":56338,"journal":{"name":"India Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"68 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14736489.2021.1875701","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43612289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the early 90s, Indian financial system has been transformed in accordance with a market-led economic strategy aiming to attract foreign investments and prepare its integration into the international financial circuits, through institutional changes, regulatory easing, public monopolies ending, etc. A few years after the 2008 global financial crisis, during the Modi government, the financial liberalization process has been significantly renovated and reinforced. In addition, old and new challenges have been (re)emerged, and domestic and external factors also have had considerable impacts by unveiling and aggravating systemic fragilities.

This paper argues that state–society relations frame the context in which the incidence of corruption and the state’s response to corruption become mutually reinforcing processes. We define this as “structures of irresolution” wherein an idealized abstract image of the state is constructed and corruption is blamed upon individual aberrations rather than the deviant nature of the state itself. We apply this framework to examine the functions of Karnataka Lokayukta, an anticorruption institution in India. Our data comes from the Annual Reports of this Lokayukta between 1987 and 2015 and corruption cases from Crime in India statistics. Our analysis shows that Lokayukta targeted officials disproportionately from lower sections of the bureaucracy. We recommend decentralized accountability mechanisms that redefine the relations between the individual, institutions, and the state to combat corruption effectively.","PeriodicalId":56338,"journal":{"name":"India Review","volume":"19 1","pages":"471 - 495"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14736489.2020.1855014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44149897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
