    16-28 Feb 2018 My Notes…. NATIONAL INDIA FALLS ON CORRUPTION INDEX India’s rank on the Corruption Perception Index fell two notches to 81 in 2017 from 79 in 2016, Transparency International (TI) said. The Berlin-based non-government body ranked 180 countries in 2017, against 176 in 2016. The index ranks countries and territories by perceived levels of public sector corruption, on a scale of zero (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). India’s score remained intact at 40 points. It had 38 points in 2015. This year, the index scored more than two-thirds of countries below 50, with an average score of 43. This meant India's score remained below average. No country came perfectly clean. New Zealand was the least corrupt and Somalia was the most. What 1. TI said it found crackdowns on non-government organisations (NGOs) and media were associated with higher levels of corruption in the world. 2. The 2017 index revealed — despite attempts to combat corruption, most countries were moving too slowly with their effort. 3. In the past six years, many countries have made little to no progress. Further analysis indicated countries with the lowest protection for press and NGOs usually had the worst corruption. 4. India falls two slots on global corruption index TI said a journalist is killed every week in a highly corrupt country. 5. It found almost all journalists killed since 2012 died in such countries. No activist or reporter should have to fear for their lives when speaking out against corruption. 6. TI showed that in the past six years, more than 9 of 10 journalists were killed in countries that scored 45 or less on the Corruption Perceptions Index.

    Uneasy Negotiations: Urban Redevelopment, Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalist Politics in Ahmedabad, India Renu Desai (Ph.D

    Breslauer Graduate Research Conference, April 2006 Uneasy Negotiations: Urban Redevelopment, Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalist Politics in Ahmedabad, India Renu Desai (Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Architecture, U.C. Berkeley) ABSTRACT This paper examines the politics of urban space in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, focussing particular attention on the relationship of urban redevelopment to neoliberalism, Hindu nationalist politics and their intersections. While many scholars have studied the multiple ways in which urban landscapes are being re-imagined and re-configured as a result of neoliberal programs, few like Jane M. Jacobs and Arjun Appadurai have sought to specifically focus on the ways in which these neoliberal reconfigurations of the city intersect with racial, religious, and ethnic politics. This paper seeks to contribute to this slim but important body of literature so that we might better understand the multiple articulations and geographical specificities of this intersection and the challenges that it poses for creating inclusive cities in many parts of the world. Furthermore, by locating this study in Ahmedabad, a city which on the one hand has witnessed recurring violence against its minority Muslims at the instigation of Hindu nationalist organizations, and on the other hand is increasingly becoming an important local and regional site for articulating the desire to be “global,” this paper hopes to shed light on the ways in which, through their intersections in urban space, the neoliberal project and religious identity politics reconfigure each other, opening up at the same time greater challenges and new possibilities in the struggle for social justice. The paper examines the politics of urban space in Ahmedabad largely through the lens of an ambitious urban redevelopment project – the Sabaramti River Front Development Project, a US$ 262 million project currently under implementation.
