Riassunto

This volume brings together ten essays from the author's enduring work on the different dimensions of power in Indian society. Harriss' analysis of power has been debated across scholarly and policy making circles, and the public sphere in India. His influence on India's developmental thinking and the debate on state's developmentalist organizations has been substantial. The volume traces how issues of political and institutional power explains economic change, resource management, and poverty, inequality and governance, social capital and civil society - all issues of contemporary and continuing relevance in Indian politics. Apart from a scholarly audience, this volume will appeal to policy planners, technocrats, and activists in organizations.
