  • A Comparative Study of Women in Local Government in India and Pakistan
    Journal of International Politics Volume 2, Issue 2, 2020, PP 24-32 ISSN 2642-8245 A Comparative Study of Women in Local Government in India and Pakistan Nadeem Malik* Development Studies Program, School of Social and Political Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Australia. *Corresponding Author: Nadeem Malik, Development Studies Program, School of Social and Political Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Australia ABSTRACT Women's participation and representation in politics at the local level is considered important for gender equity and women’s empowerment. The recent wave of decentralisation in the late 1990s in India and Pakistan promised to solve women-related community problems at the grass-root level and more importantly, to empower them socially, economically and politically. This article demonstrates the extent to which such aspirations could be realized. Keyword: women’s political representation, local government, India, Pakistan INTRODUCTION institutions and the donor countries. With few exceptions, this is most vividly illustrated by the The decade of the 1980s saw an increasing rise of political gangsters in the leadership of enthusiasm for decentralisation in developing parties, parliaments and executive bodies at the countries. The concept itself was part of the good local level in most countries1. The failure of governance agenda of the World Bank and decentralizing was due to inadequate local donor countries in the first world (Malik, 2016). It was thought that the failure of earlier government framework, ineffective implementation development paradigms (especially the structural or capture of local government by interest groups or adjustment program) was due to bad institutional a combination of these factors (Malik, 2009).

  • Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency
    Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency Jenny Nilsson, Linköping University Anders Mårtensson, Linköping University ABSTRACT Swedish law requires local authorities to have a municipal energy plan. Each municipal government is required to prepare and maintain a plan for the supply, distribution, and use of energy. Whether the municipal energy plans have contributed to or preferably controlled the development of local energy systems is unclear. In the research project “Strategic Environmental Assessment of Local Energy Systems,” financed by the Swedish National Energy Administration, the municipal energy plan as a tool for controlling energy use and the efficiency of the local energy system is studied. In an introductory study, twelve municipal energy plans for the county of Östergötland in southern Sweden have been analyzed. This paper presents and discusses results and conclusions regarding municipal strategies for energy efficiency based on the introductory study. Introduction Energy Efficiency and Swedish Municipalities Opportunities for improving the efficiency of Swedish energy systems have been emphasized in several reports such as a recent study made for the Swedish government (SOU 2001). Although work for effective energy use has been carried out in Sweden for 30 years, the calculated remaining potential for energy savings is still high. However, there have been changes in the energy system. For example, industry has slightly increased the total energy use, but their use of oil has been reduced by two-thirds since 1970. Meanwhile, the production in the industry has increased by almost 50%. This means that energy efficiency in the industry is much higher today than in the 1970s (Table 1).

  • Annual Review of State Laws 2020
    ANNUAL REVIEW OF STATE LAWS 2020 Anoop Ramakrishnan N R Akhil June 2021 The Constitution of India provides for a legislature in each State and entrusts it with the responsibility to make laws for the state. They make laws related to subjects in the State List and the Concurrent List of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution. These include subjects such as agriculture, health, education, and police. At present, there are 30 state legislatures in the country, including in the two union territories of Delhi and Puducherry. State legislatures also determine the allocation of resources through their budgetary process. They collectively spend about 70% more than the centre. This implies that much of what affects citizens on a regular basis is decided at the level of the state. For a detailed discussion on the budgets of all states, please see our annual State of State Finances report. This report focuses on the legislative work performed by states in the calendar year 2020. It is based on data compiled from state legislature websites and state gazettes. It covers 19 state legislatures, including the union territory of Delhi, which together account for 90% of the population of the country. Information and data on state legislatures is not easily available. While some state legislatures publish data on a regular basis, many do not have a systematic way of reporting legislative proceedings and business.
