  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 0521542553 - Seeing the State: Governance and Governmentality in India Stuart Corbridge, Glyn Williams, Manoj Srivastava and Rene Veron Frontmatter More information Seeing the State Poor people confront the state on an everyday basis all over the world. But how do they see the state, and how are these engage- ments conducted? This book considers the Indian case where people’s accounts, in particular in the countryside, are shaped by a series of encounters that are staged at the local level, and which are also informed by ideas that are circulated by the government and the broader develop- ment community. Drawing extensively on fieldwork conducted in east- ern India and their broad range of expertise, the authors review a series of key debates in development studies on participation, good governance, and the structuring of political society. They do so with particular re- ference to the Employment Assurance Scheme and primary education provision. Seeing the State engages with the work of James Scott, James Ferguson and Partha Chatterjee, and offers a new interpretation of the formation of citizenship in South Asia. Stuart Corbridge is Professor of Geography at the London School of Economics. He is the author or co-author of five books, including Reinventing India (with John Harriss, 2000). Glyn Williams is Senior Lecturer in Geography at King’s College, London. He is the co-editor of a collection of essays on South Asia in a Globalising World (2002). Manoj Srivastava is a Research Associate in the Crisis State Pro- gramme, Development Studies Institute, London School of Economics.
