Cover of: Panchayattantra by Fernandes, Aureliano

Panchayattantra
Empowering Local Governance Through Role Definition
First

Published 2008 by M/s University Book House (Pvt) Ltd, 79 Chaura Rasta, Jaipur 3 uni_bookhouse@yahoo.com in Jaipur, India .
Written in English.

About the Book

Essentially aimed at comparative decentralization scholars and those engaged with the praxis of the art of local governance, the book is a modest attempt at showcasing how even a relatively well 'developed policy' such as Goa seeks to go through the motion of devolution without engendering meaningful participatory governance and by working the development process by exclusion.

First Sentence

Just when adoption of Liberal democracy seemed to be perceived as the 'end point of India's evolution as a democracy', 43 years later the 73rd Amendment came as a challenge, threatening to knock out the feudal glass ceiling over India's democracy.
