Beschreibung:
This book offers in-depth discussion of Gandhi's vision of decentralised democracy and its implications in relation to PRIs. It looks at decentralisation through a number of indicators, like, deepening democracy; participation; devolution of functions, functionaries and funds; elections to local bodies; development outcomes; inclusiveness and environment orientation, among others. It discusses issue of self-rule holistically, taking into account both rural and urban local self-governments. This volume will surely be of interest to departments of South Asian politics, South Asian policy studies and Gandhi studies.
