Democracy, Civil Society and Governance is an endeavour to critically examine such expectations. The book focuses on the interplay of democracy, civil society and public policy implementation, and addresses the role of civil society in terms of the changing nature of the economy and the condition of the working class. It highlights the reinforcement of hegemonic value systems by the contemporary mainstream civil society as well as the role of the pro-poor civil society in supporting and mobilizing the disadvantaged for their rights and justice. The book also critically evaluates government policies and their implementation in the domains of education, public health, employment, social upliftment and environment. 606 $aPoor$xPolitical activity$zIndia 606 $aEconomic development$xSocial aspects$zIndia 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zIndia 606 $aDemocracy$zIndia 606 $aCivil society$zIndia 606 $aSocial structure$zIndia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPoor$xPolitical activity 615 0$aEconomic development$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aSocial structure 676 $a300.954 700 $aShah$b Ghanshyam$0643325 801 0$bCaToSAGE 801 1$bCaToSAGE 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467623103321 996 $aDemocracy, civil society and governance$92444830 997 $aUNINA
