Conclusions. .This book deals with the dynamics of local-level politics in China and India. China introduced new policies to restructure local politics in 1978. In place of communes, civil society organizations and cooperatives were introduced in villages. More changes came about with the introduction of the Organic Law of the Villagers' Committees of the People's Republic of China in 1998. The new local power structure includes state-sponsored institutions like Villagers Committees and the traditional civil society organizations (CSOs) and non-government organizations (NGOs). As in China, local politics in India undergoes considerable changes during the last few decades. Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) were reformed in 1992 with a constitutional amendment act. CSOs and NGOs were allowed to function. Against this background, the present book is undertaken with the objectives first, to present two different models of local politics and second, to compare the two, finally to focus on the two different models of development. This book will interest scholars of rural governance, rural transformation, and the role of the grassroots CSOs and NGOs in shaping development program and growth in the two large countries in Asia.Economic developmentChinaEconomic developmentIndiaLocal governmentChinaLocal governmentIndiaNon-governmental organizationsChinaNon-governmental organizationsIndiaEconomic developmentEconomic developmentLocal governmentLocal governmentNon-governmental organizationsNon-governmental organizations320.80951Li Yi1957-1426909Dasgupta AbhijitMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910743382003321Alternatives in development3559359UNINA
