  • Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 the Thirteenth Finance Commission

    Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 the Thirteenth Finance Commission

    1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Thirteenth Finance Commission has the unique opportunity to review and draw inferences from nearly six decades of federalism in public finance management of the nation. Based on such inferences, a much needed course correction can be initiated, reversing a trend that has been eroding the very concept of fiscal federalism. Government of Kerala would earnestly plead for such a focus in the work of this Commission. 1.2 Articles of the Constitution between 268 and 275 have designed a well-structured system whereby States get benefit from the Centre’s taxation power. The purpose is clear from the wording of Article 275 which is the final residual Article in this structure. Aid to the revenues of States is what the makers of Constitution had in mind. This really gives Finance Commission the authority to deal with the entire area where States’ revenues are applied – not just one part like non-plan revenue account expenditure. But Commissions chose to confine themselves to that area (with only one exception in recent times – Second report of the Ninth Finance Commission covering the period 1990- 95). Over the years, somehow it came to be accepted that Finance Commissions’ main task is to try and balance the non-plan revenue account of Stat es. 1.3 Whenever Commissions chose (or were asked) to look into other aspects, it was either for providing supplementary provisions for developmental expenditure (like special problem grants) or admonish States and guide them out of what was perceived to be their fiscal imprudence. The administration of such condition based grants and debt relief schemes was entrusted with Central Government Ministries.

    Democracy and the Politics of Social Citizenship in India

    Democracy and the Politics of Social Citizenship in India by Anil Mathew Varughese A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Anil Mathew Varughese (2013) DEMOCRACY AND THE POLITICS OF SOCIAL CITIZENSHIP IN INDIA Anil Mathew Varughese Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Why do some pro-poor democracies in global South enact generous and universal social policies accompanied by empowering outcomes while others, similar in many ways, do not? If lower-class integration and programmatic commitment steers policy outcomes to be more egalitarian, what explains the variance in redistributive commitment within the cluster of radical democracies? These questions are examined in the context of two celebrated cases of pro-poor reform in the developing world: the Indian states of Kerala and West Bengal. Despite a host of similar background conditions (democratic framework, programmatic political parties, strong labor unions, and a high degree of subordinate-class integration), the cases display considerable variation in their redistributive commitment. Using the comparative-historical method, this dissertation seeks to explain the variance. It argues that the welfare divergences of Kerala and West Bengal are a function of their divergent modes of lower-class integration. In Kerala, a radical-mobilizational mode of ii lower-class integration has organized the poorer sections of the working classes—landless laborers and informal sector workers—in autonomous class organizations. This has enabled them to vigorously assert their interests within the working-class movement and harness state power to advance their interests through a wide range of legislative protections and statutory entitlements.
