Dynamics Of Public Policy And Good Governance In India

It offers an interdisciplinary and in-depth look at present-day Indian public policy and governance. It is based on strong academic research and policy-relevant study that delves into the dynamic architecture of governance in India in the face of swift socio-political change, technology and an increasingly insistent need for equity, sustainability and accountability. Through a critical response to the theorisation and practice of governance, the book is an essential body of literature on Indian polity, development studies, administrative reforms, and participatory democracy. When India is on the verge of a traditional and innovative policy-making process, this book explores the essential machinations through which the Indian state enforces, implements and responds to multidimensional national proposals. It provides a broad-based examination of the performance of the various arms of governance, that is, the Parliament and the executive bureaucracy, Panchayati Raj Institutions and the municipal bodies in the context of the Indian constitutional spirit, developmental demands, and global ambitions. Every single chapter takes apart a key area of public policy, is both a descriptive and a critical examination of the current institutional machinery, implementation trends, and the upcoming issues.
