The Anti-Politics Machine in India: State, Decentralization and Participatory Watershed Development

by Vasudha Chhotray

Book Overview

This book assesses the validity of 'anti-politics' critiques of development, first popularised by James Ferguson, in the peculiar context of India. It examines the extent to which it is possible to keep politics out of a highly technocratic state watershed development programme that also seeks to be participatory.
