Local Governance gains prominence in the recent decades as it becomes a movement in the world. Contextually it is so imprest to empower the poor and marginalised as globalization of economy is going to exclude many such segments. As globalization, decentralisation is also a historical process. The present monograph is giving a synoptic view of governance and development process at grassroots in China and India. In both countries initiatives have been taken to strengthen the grassroots institutions. In China local bodies have been created through an executive order but powers and resources have been given substantially whereas in India local bodies have been created through Constitutional Amendments. Yet powers and resources have not been given excepting Kerala. Hence, a comparative analysis is made between a local governance unit in Jiangsu province in China and Gram Panchayat in Kerala in India. How village life is organized and how people are engaged in governance and development have been captured in this monograph.
This book is the outcome of a National Seminar organised in the Department of Political Science and Development Administration, the Gandhigram Rural Institute- Deemed University, Gandhigram from 12th to 14th March, 2014 in connection with the activities of Special Assistance Programme of UGC. It is our academic practice that whenever we organise a programme we invite not only academics but also practitioners and activists on the subject. The choice of the theme would be decided in the advisory committee meeting. Accordingly we organise seminar annually. We have involved academics to prepare research papers on the theme given to them and they are being presented in the National Seminar and the papers are being validated by the interventions of the practitioners. For these seminars we invite the civil society representatives and the representatives of local bodies along with the researchers to intervene on the presentations of the scholars in the National Seminar. Since our area of research is decentralization in south India, we have partners in this process.
