Soft cover. Condizione: New. The end of classical colonialism did not result in complete freedom for the peoples of the third world. New forms of Western domination emerged in many post- colonial states which became dependent on the first world, for their very existence. This led to the emergence of people's movements which serve to articulate the aspirations of the disadvantaged and their resistance to various forms of oppression and domination. This volume of original essays articulates the issues raised by these social movements as a democratic assertion of people's rights. The distinguished contributors challenge the dominant political theory of capitalist globalisation and reaffirm some of the primary values of the anti-colonial struggle. Rather than ES ES locating rights in the individualist tradition of Western liberalism, they are seen as an affirmation of the political conditions of human existence involving a struggle against class exploitation and social oppression. The case studies from Asia and Africa of both successful and unsuccessful movements illustrate the nature of the dilemmas faced by them while problematising the dichotomy between class politics and social movements. In the process, the contributors not only critique the dominant Western nations of rights, nationhood, civil society and citizenship but present original and alternative formulations in democratic theory transformation of the post-colonial state through liberation from new forms of bondage in order to affirm freedom and people's rights and to create a more decentralised, responsive and participatory state. Designed as a major intervention in the ongoing debate concerning the nature of the state and of civil society in the contemporary world and presenting a creative- theory of social transformation, this volume will attract a wide readership. It will interest, among others, political scientists, sociologists and students of social movements and social change as also those involved in struggles for cultural rights, civil liberties and human rights.

xv + 431 pages, postscript, paperback. While the aftermath of the December 2004 tsunami added to the problems of civil war in Sri Lanka, a miraculous transition from conflict and disaster to peace and new development evolved in Aceh, the rebellious Indonesian province on the northern tip of Sumatra. Most remarkably, as shown in this book, the miracle was largely due to democratisation. For once, the combination of international intervention and local popular engagement paid off. Why was this possible? How can the process be sustained? In this book, senior scholars and grounded researchers provide answers in comparative and theoretical perspectives. The promising change in Aceh fly in the face of conventional wisdom and theoretical predictions. The dynamics refute the increasingly common conclusion by experts, donors and politicians such as the former Indonesian vice president Jusuf Kalla, that there is a need to constrain democracy because 'too many freedoms and elections' are likely to generate more conflict and abuses of power. Yet this does not mean that Aceh provides unconditional support for the converse idea of peace by liberal democracy and markets. This book shows instead that peace was 'social democratic' in character, based as it was on strong politics, regulation of big business, the transformation of conflict within a democratic framework and people's capacity to use and improve the new institutions. The book also shows, however, that it is difficult to sustain these positive dynamics. As in so many other post-colonial processes, the 'transitional arrangements' often breed special privileges for the well connected rather than democratic control of public affairs. Profitable instead of democratic peace is thus gaining ground. And the 2009 elections have de facto fostered a power sharing agreement between Jakarta and the old rebel leaders at the expense of the inclusive democracy that was negotiated by Ahtisaari. Can the latter be resurrected? This is a book for scholars, students and practitioners alike, wishing to learn about the problems and options of promoting peace and development by way of democracy.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Summary:There is a major contradiction in contemporary politics: there has been a wave of democratization that has swept across much of the world, while at the same time globalization appears to have reduced the social forces that have built democracy historically.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. xviii, 302 pages ; 24 cm. Summary:"Grows out of attempts by academicians and activists to contribute to transformative politics by developing a way of acquiring better contextual sources and analysing the processes and problems of democratisation in a theoretically more inclusive way than in the mainstream assessments that have come to parallel the industry of measuring economic growth. The book summarises the critique of these approaches, suggests a comprehensive alternative framework, and shows how the alternative works in reality through a case study of the largest of the new democracies, Indonesia"-- Provided by publisher.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Summary:"Why is the classical social democratic vision of development based on social justice by democratic means losing ground? Why was it so difficult to renew, even in the context of the third wave of democracy in the South? How does this matter in the North too, and how might it be reinvented? This accessible book brings to life major insights gained through interviews with a large range of activists and political protagonists in the southern cases of Indonesia, India, and the Philippines - but also in the northern social democratic stronghold of Sweden. By considering the experiences in view of the basics of Social Democracy and a broader comparative framework, Olle Törnquist arrives at globally relevant conclusions. Olle Törnquist outlines the difficulties facing the Global North and South in achieving the renewal of Social Democracy, beginning with authoritiarianism and market-driven globalization. Crucially, Törnquist also puts forward suggestions for how to achieve this reinvention, namely through broad alliances in the Global South, supported by the Global North, for transformative rights and welfare reforms that are universal, participatory and impartially implemented which would serve as precursors to social economic growth pacts"-- Provided by publisher.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. xvii, 320 pages ; 23 cm. Summary:"Transformative democratic politics are necessary to the advance of substantive democratization. They are vital to the improvement of popular control over public affairs and for promoting economic growth and social welfare. In this diverse collection, the authors examine the political dynamics of democratization in the Global South, and the potential and problems of transformative strategies in new growth economies, as well as the benefits for post-clientelist transformations. If the contemporary challenge for democratization in the Global South is to substantiate formal and minimalist democracy, the contribution of this book is to point to the centrality of transformative democratic politics."--Publisher's website.
