  • Tribal Women in the Democratic Political Process a Study of Tribal Women in the Dooars and Terai Regions of North Bengal
    TRIBAL WOMEN IN THE DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL PROCESS A STUDY OF TRIBAL WOMEN IN THE DOOARS AND TERAI REGIONS OF NORTH BENGAL A Thesis submitted to the University of North Bengal For the Award of Doctor of Philosophy In Department of Political Science By Renuca Rajni Beck Supervisor Professor Manas Chakrabarty Department of Political Science University of North Bengal August, 2018 Dedicated To My Son Srinjoy (Kutush) ABSTRACT Active participation in the democratic bodies (like the local self-government) and the democratic political processes of the marginalized section of society like the tribal women can help their empowerment and integration into the socio-political order and reduces the scope for social unrest. The present study is about the nature of political participation of tribal women in the democratic political processes in two distinctive areas of North Bengal, in the Dooars of Jalpaiguri district (where economy is based on tea plantation) and the Terai of Darjeeling district (with agriculture-based economy). The study would explore the political social and economic changes that political participation can bring about in the life of the tribal women and tribal communities in the tea gardens and in the agriculture-based economy. The region known as North Bengal consists of six northern districts of West Bengal, namely, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Malda, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur and Cooch Behar. There is more than 14.5 lakh tribal population in this region (which constitutes 1/3rd of the total tribal population of the State), of which 49.6 per cent are women. Jalpaiguri district has the highest concentration of tribal population as 14.56 per cent of its population is tribal population whereas Darjeeling has 4.60 per cent of its population as tribal population.

Reflections on the State of Survey Research on Politics in Most of the World Yogendra Yadav Senior Fellow, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi I SURVEY RESEARCH THEN AND NOW When I was a student, doing Masters in Political Science, the worst thing you could say about any political scientist was that he or she “did survey research”. The label 'survey research' stood for what was considered to be most inappropriate in the third world imitations of the American science of politics: it was methodologically naive, politically conservative and culturally inauthentic. Perhaps my academic socialization bore a strong impress of the institution where I studied then: the Jawaharlal Nehru University in general and the School of Social Sciences in particular, was strongly left-wing in its orientation. In those days a radical orientation in Political Science was associated with taste for certain kind of subjects (revolutions rather than constitutions, land reform rather than affirmative action, protest movements rather than voting behaviour), preference for some approaches (political economy over analysis of political institutions, history of ideas over conceptual analysis) and strong methodological partisanship (theoretical and not empirical, diachronic and not synchronic, qualitative and not quantitative). In retrospect it is less obvious why these preferences were associated with radicalism. But it should not be hard to see why 'survey research' did not then fit into what a young Political Scientist wanted to do then.

  • 'Docto%^Ojt^Iws(Yp9{'Y
    GLOBALISATION AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THIRD WORLD: A STUDY OF INDIA AND KUWAIT Abstract of thesis submitted to the Aligarh MusHm University for the award of the Degree of 'DocTo%^ojT^iws(yP9{'y By Mubarak AL-Ajmi Under the Supervision of PROF. MOHD. MURTAZA KHAN DEPARTMENT OF POLmCAL SCrElSfCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2007 ABSTRACT Over the years, a large number of philosophers, academicians and public functionaries have been discussing ways and means of governing societies. They have advocated different forms of political and administrative systems and methods of governance to reconcile the interests of the citizens with that of the role of the state. The debate is still inconclusive. During the last decade or so, in the aftermath of the onset of globalization process there has been a remarkable change in the role of government in different societies. Good governance depends on the cooperation and involvement of a large number of citizens and organizations. These requirements are considered not only essential for good governance but are also important for sustainable human development. The study is divided into five-chapter and the conclusion and has been descriptive and analytical in nature. Chapter I of the thesis entitled Globalisation- Concept and Objectives explores the concept, objectives and contours of globalisation and its ongoing impact on the developing societies particularly Kuwait and India. Globalization is a modem term used to describe the changes in societies and the world economy that result from dramatically increased international trade and cultural exchange.
