Land Rights in India: Policies, movements and challenges de Varsha Bhagat-Ganguly

Land Rights in India: Policies, movements and challenges

Editat de Varsha Bhagat-Ganguly
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 dec 2017
This volume engages with the topical issue of land rights in neoliberal India. It examines government policies, laws, land governance and land reforms from the perspective of social justice and people’s response to dispossession of land.
Looking beyond the dominant discourse of land acquisition and the conception of land as a commodity for economic growth, the book explores critical themes including issues of social identity, culture, livelihood and food security through a study of land reform; reviews existing land policies and legal dimensions; and discusses issues and challenges of land governance and land dependents as well as perspectives from people’s movements.
Lucidly written, based on empirical research, and comprehensive in its treatment of a contentious concern, this volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of economics and public policy, development studies, political science, and political economy. It will also interest scholars of South Asian studies and sociology.

Descriere

This volume engages with the topical issue of land rights in neo-liberal India. It reviews government policies, laws, land governance, land reforms from the social justice perspective and people’s response to dispossession of land from the citizens’ point of view. It also focuses on critical themes like expanding right to land, its management and control, through people-centric governance rather than state-centric management.
