The burgeoning urban population brings with it several new challenges which the Urban Local Governments (ULGs) have to face. There is, therefore, the need to revamp the structure of ULGs and redefine their functions, duties and powers in the changed urban scenario. The inclusion of several activities relating to poverty eradication and welfare in the functions of ULG calls for a fresh urgency to study urban administration in a new light. The need for the ULGs to re energise themselves to face the ever-increasing complex urban challenges efficiently, coming out of the rigid, outdated, inflexible working culture and deteriorating administrative standards is clearly underlined in the present work. It has been emphasized that there is inescapable need to improve the quality of life in smaller towns to avoid the rural push and to prevent the urban pull since certain larger urban areas cannot afford to grow any more due to infrastructure deficiency, growing congestion due to rapid population growth coupled with increasing traffic and other problems.\n\u003cbr\u003eIn the changed socio-political situation in towns and cities of India, there is an urgent need for reform of ULGs to restructure the official machinery as well as political organ in the ULGs so as to function as active partners in the development of urban areas.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book enables the stakeholders of urban development to understand the need and plan to revitalize the ULGs to meet the new challenges imposed by the rapid urbanization and social and economic changes in urban areas. Some valuable reforms to fulfil the constitutional obligations ordained on ULGs by the Constitution (74th Amendment) Act, 1992 have been suggested in the book. It also deals with the need for capacity-building, decentralised planning, simplification of procedures, privatisation of certain municipal services to improve the quality and reduce the cost of service.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe present book would prove very useful to planners, policymakers, and government executives concerned with the urban development and social welfare. In addition, students and teachers of Public Administration, Political Science and Economics will find it an ideal reference book on the topic concerned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907938644119,"sku":"9788126907250","price":245.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126907250.webp?v=1769306173"},{"product_id":"adhunik-rajnitik-vicharak","title":"Adhunik Rajnitik Vicharak","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Chandra Deo Prasad\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Politics and Current Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eइस पुस्तक के अंतर्गत बेन्थम, हीगल, जे.एस. मिल, टी.एच. ग्रीन और कार्ल मार्क्स के विभिन्न सिद्धांतों पर प्रकाश डाला गया है। बेन्थम -एक व्यक्तिवादी, उपयोगितावादी तथा सुधारवादी विचारक था। अधिकतम व्यक्तियों का अधिकतम सुख-उसके सिद्धांतों का मूल मंत्र था। हीगल -एक आदर्शवादी विचारक था, जिसने राज्य को पृथ्वी पर ईश्वर के आगमन के रूप में देखा था। वह अपने युग का महान आदर्शवादी विचारक था, जिसने अपने सिद्धांतों से संपूर्ण जगत को प्रभावित किया है। जे.एस. मिल -बेन्थम का सच्चा शिष्य था। उसने अपने गुरु की उपयोगितावाद में आवश्यक संशोधन कर, उसके रूप को अधिक जीवंत बनाया है। उसकी पुस्तक On Liberty स्वतंत्रता पर एक अनूठा लेख है। टी.एच. ग्रीन -एक आदर्शवादी विचारक था। उसकी पुस्तक Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation ऑक्सफोर्ड कक्षाओं में छात्रें को 1879-80 में दिए गए भाषणों का संकलन है जो राजनीतिक विचारधारा का एक अमूल्य साहित्य है। कार्ल मार्क्स -आधुनिक युग का मजदूरों और गरीबों का मसीहा था। उसकी पुस्तकें The Communist Manifesto और Das Capital समाजवाद और साम्यवाद पर क्रांतिकारी विचारों से ओत-प्रोत हैं। वह \"विश्व के मजदूरो एक हो जाओ\" जैसा नारा देने वाला क्रांतिकारी विचारक था।\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44907939463319,"sku":"9788126917266","price":263.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907939430551,"sku":"9788126917259","price":487.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126917259.webp?v=1769306176"},{"product_id":"afghanistan-crisis-decoding-engagement-of-major-and-regional-powers","title":"Afghanistan Crisis: Decoding Engagement of Major and Regional Powers","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Vinod Khobragade\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Politics and Current Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book deals with the rise and fall of Afghanistan, and the various factors and players which are active in determining the destiny of Afghanistan as a country.

During the last two decades the world has been marked by an increasing number of terrorist attacks.

It is, neither the monopoly nor the prerogative, of any particular political party or any individual to sustain and cherish it, because we have pledged it to be a collective national duty. It’s dereliction is treachery. In the Constitution of India adopted by the people on 26th January 1950, this pledge is ordained under Article 51 A, which inter alia mandates — “Cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired national struggle for freedom; to uphold and protect its integrity; to promote harmony and spirit of common brotherhood amongst all Indians; transcending religious, linguistic, regional, sectional diversities, to value and preserve rich heritage of the composite culture and to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity so that the nation, constantly, rises to higher levels of endeavour and achievement”. And this pledge has been grossly betrayed.\n\u003cbr\u003eAfter 50 years of Independence when we are busy in celebrating its Golden Jubilee, simultaneously, it is time for honest, sincere and conscious introspection — whether the country and its citizens acquired and sustained all-round progress; whether there is economic stability; deprivation from unemployment, poverty, hunger, ill-literacy, insurgency and terrorism. Whether there is throughout peace and tranquillity, control on crimes and criminals and justice through the “Rule of Law”. Contrarily, people witness pervading anarchy and chaos. In phases, joy turned into gloom, sorrow, grief, despair and finally distress leaving the ill-fated countrymen to scour out the positive answer whether they betrayed the MOTHER LAND, or the political parties and their leaders, who administered for five decades, betrayed them and the country.

The mushroom growth of parties every election season, which rose to about 400 by the end of 2008, shows the extent of personal ambition for money, power and fictitious fame having no relevance to the growth and development of the country.\n\u003cbr\u003eDue to inaction or poor functioning of officials and institutions, the affected people have no other option but to approach the judiciary for relief. The judiciary, already having a huge backlog, has to bear more burden to rescue the affected people. Thus, the legislative wing feels that its domain is encroached upon by the judiciary though the people suffering are not impressed by such statements.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe steel frame of bureaucracy is meant to manage civil services, which are the true foundation of administration, touching the people of all levels in the society. But unfortunately, due to party politics in India, the party which comes to power grabs the bureaucracy and makes it subservient to serve it and its leaders—great or small. The bureaucracy cannot afford to disentangle itself from the party leaders and thus, the civil services are in dismal state in most parts of the country, and this has paved the way for corruption and moral decadence amongst the party leaders including the bureaucrats. No political ideology, whether indigenous or imported, howsoever excellent theoretically, can solve the problems of a country like India. Ideologies stunt the growth of freedom of thought of the party leaders and their followers, and as such, only well thought of pragmatism can run a democracy of India’s size, diversity and complexity, leading to diffusion of democracy.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book gives a practical and feasible scheme named soloism to achieve the goal of diffusion in a constructive and non-violent way, exercising effectively, democratic culture at every step, and this original thinking marks the outstanding distinction of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908082331799,"sku":"9788126912681","price":417.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126912681.webp?v=1769306205"},{"product_id":"disarmament-issues-multi-vol-set-2-vols","title":"Disarmament Issues  (MULTI VOL SET-2 Vols.)","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Rahul K.

Shifting from state-centred international politics to multi-actors-centred global politics, there have been many changes. Present global politics is moving through the path of political, economic and cultural orientation. There are constant mutations in our world and so is with the study of international relations.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe world is rapidly becoming interconnected and turning into a single integrated community. This movement and vibrant interactions are uniting the world and making national boundaries ‘soft’ and less important. A number of non-state actors are making this process more successful. No nation state can ignore their existence and effectiveness. Consequently, the contemporary state system is challenged by non-state actors. However, information communication technologies have widened the jurisdiction of the state and helped it communicate with larger audience at a faster rate for quick responses and timely actions.\n\u003cbr\u003eKeeping all these dimensions in view, this book is divided into three parts: History, Theory and Issues. The First Part contains the history of international relations, particularly, the Cold War and post-Cold War era. The Second Part examines the theory of international relations. All major conventional theories such as Idealism, Realism\/Neorealism, Liberalism\/ Neoliberalism, and Dependency theories have been analysed. Along with it, an alternative theory, International Political Economy, has also been studied due to its relevance to global politics of today. The post-positivist theories such as Post Modernism, Critical Theory and Constructivism have been sufficiently explained. The Third Part consists of various important issues and processes. This part is divided into Five Chapters: Human Security; Gender Sensitization of World Politics; Environment: Contrasting Conceptions and Global Responsibility; Globalization; and Role of State and Non State Actors in Global Politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44908116541591,"sku":"9788126917341","price":207.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908116508823,"sku":"9788126917334","price":487.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126917334.webp?v=1769306211"},{"product_id":"dynamics-of-political-theory-the-current-analysis","title":"Dynamics Of Political Theory: The Current Analysis","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Biswaranjan Mohanty\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Politics and Current Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book entitled Dynamics of Political Theory: The Current Analysis deals with the fundamental concepts and issues of political theory which constitute the core area of political science.

The world has witnessed diversity in organizations, associations and blocs, each competing with others for comparative advantages in terms of trade, commerce and political allegiances. The most distinctive aspect that is discernible as far as India is concerned is that the country has been opening up, engaging itself in various such actors without giving up its earlier ties with the older organizations such as the UNO and its organs and agencies. \n\u003cbr\u003eIndia has found the post-Cold War international order acquiescent to expansion of its bilateral ties with all the major powers simultaneously, and has thus pursued a strategy of ‘multi-alignment’. Following ‘defensive realist’ strategies, India attempts to gain power for self preservation. John Mearsheimer argues that international life would continue to be a brutal competition for power as it has always been. He further argues that in the absence of a world government to enforce rights, states find it impossible to trust one another, and simply striving for security drives them to seek control of their environment and thus dominance. Fareed Zakaria, in contrast, views the present international system as “a world of reduced danger as economics triumphs politics.” It is in this backdrop that the present volume throws light on India’s rise as a global power, and the likely regional and global implications, through specific focus on its relations with strategically and economically important countries in the developed and the developing worlds. In this context, the volume also deals with India’s policy of constructive engagement with international organizations and selected regional organizations across the globe. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe present volume has been written in the backdrop of US President Barack Obama’s visit to New Delhi in November 2008 when he referred to India not as ‘emerging’ but as an ‘emerged’ power. In fact, India’s rise in the present century can be compared only with the rise of the United States of America in the 20th century and the rise of Germany in the 19th century.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book is comprised of sixteen chapters, and drafted by some established scholars in the field as well as the younger ones. It is an enviable attempt to describe today’s fast changing world from the Indian perspective. It will be very useful to the students, researchers, diplomats, and policymakers, and provoke further scholarly debates and discussions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908141281431,"sku":"9788126916832","price":557.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126916832.webp?v=1769306221"},{"product_id":"excellence-in-government","title":"Excellence In Government","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Mukesh Jain\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Politics and Current Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn every country today, we confront a host of stubborn problems: Violent crime, drug abuse, budgetary constraints, crumbling roads, traffic congestion, pollution. Every community is facing serious problems. The problems differ from place to place. But, the most serious problem of all, however is different, it is the inadequacy of the institutional mechanisms we rely on for making public decisions. Government, our biggest institutional mechanism, has failed to generate effective public responses to the problems troubling us.\n\u003cbr\u003eAnyone who tries to re-think government is embarking on a truly daunting process, because government is such a complex, multi-faceted institution with so many relationships and responsibilities; from defense to commerce, civic order and public health, to name just a few. As citizens, we all know that our worst nightmare about relationship with government is to be lost in a bureaucratic maze; shuffled from place to place, waiting hours in long queues, unable to find or learn anything. Books have been written and movies made about these nightmares.\n\u003cbr\u003eHow do we solve these problems? It is not easy. Without studying success, it is hard to devise real solutions. For years, the government has studied failure, and for years, failure has endured. So the approach has to be different. We have to look for success. We have to search organizations that produce results, satisfy customers, and increased productivity. We have to study the organizations that constantly learn, innovate and improve. It is not difficult to find effective, entrepreneurial public organizations. The book is full of examples of such organizations.\n\u003cbr\u003eIn last decades several governments have been reinventing themselves, from Australia to Great Britain, Singapore to Sweden, the Netherlands to New Zealand. Everywhere the need of information age societies are colliding with the limits of industrial era government. Britain has called it “New public management” USA has named it “Reinvention initiative.” Whatever be the name, the movement to reinvent government is driven by absolute necessity. Governments, all over the world, have reached the same conclusion: Government is broken, and it is time to fix it. The time has come to set the house in order. The administrative management of the government needs overhauling.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book is about studying success in this reinvention movement and exploring common characteristics of success. This book lays out the strategies that have proven the most effective and describes how the world’s most successful re-inventors have used them.\n\u003cbr\u003eOur governments are in trouble. They have lost their sense of mission; they have lost their ethic of public service; and, most importantly, they have lost the faith of the people. We can no larger afford to pay more for and get less from our government. The answer for every problem cannot always be another program or more money. It is time to radically change the way the government operates — to shift from top-down bureaucracy to entrepreneurial government that empowers citizens and communities to change our country from the bottom up. The vision the book seeks is that of a government that works for people, cleared of useless bureaucracy and waste and freed from red tape and senseless rules.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908160450711,"sku":"9788171569861","price":417.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788171569861.webp?v=1769306225"},{"product_id":"expanding-horizons-of-human-rights","title":"Expanding Horizons Of Human Rights","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Subrata Sankar Bagchi\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Politics and Current Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuman rights have been the focus of study since ancient times as we find mentions of human rights in the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, the juridical rulings of Isracli Sanhedrin, the Islamic legislation and our own Vedic tradition of seeing the opponent’s logic before our own. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe English Magna Carta, which stated the political and legal rights of the English people, is referred to as the basis for modern English law.

A division of authority exists between the federal government and those of the States. There are three lists enumerating the powers—the Union, State and Concurrent list. Every power—Executive, Legislative and Judicial, whether it belongs to the federation or the component is controlled by the Constitution.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book describes the federal system in India and all its pertinent aspects. The subject matter is divided into five chapters. The first chapter, “The Devolution Dilemma” studies the nature of Indian State, the functional efficiency of the federal system and its capacity to achieve equitable growth and political stability. The second chapter is on the coalition culture and presents an analytical review of the record of various coalitions made and reformed over India’s recent political history. The third chapter, based on a research on voter behaviour tries to answer the question as to why the two main national parties in India—Congress and the BJP are losing their vote base in the States. It concludes that there is a democratic deficit both at regional and national level. The issue of democratic deficit has been dealt with in detail in the fourth chapter based on the author’s survey data on the State of Punjab. The fifth chapter brings to light the concepts relevant for a party system in India. Bibliography and Index have been provided at the end of the book.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be useful for the students and teachers of political science and researchers in this field. It will also prove beneficial for policymakers and parliamentarians. To those who wish to know about the various aspects of Indian democracy, coalition culture, party system and Centre-State relations, the book will provide for a richly rewarding and stimulating reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908161007767,"sku":"9788126917389","price":347.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126917389.webp?v=1769306224"},{"product_id":"financial-relations-between-centre-states-and-local-self-governments-in-india","title":"Financial Relations Between Centre, States And Local-Self Governments In India","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): O.P.

But finance is the key determining factor and this is what the author has sought to study about. The author has examined some very controversial issues relating to devolution of resources in depth. The general apathy of the higher level of governments in giving grants and loans to the lower level of governments has also been verified. The author contends that the rate of growth of economic development can be accelerated if local governments are associated with the planning process and has suggested the ways in which federal fiscal devolution can help to achieve the broader economic and social objectives. Credit goes to the author in examining urban local finance rather neglected in the study of government finances which now seeks to concentrate on the finances of union and state governments only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908164087959,"sku":"9788171560899","price":140.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788171560899.webp?v=1769306231"}],"url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/collections\/politics-and-current-affairs.oembed?page=37","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
