Paperback. Condition: New. What makes bureaucracy work for the least advantaged? Across the world, countries have adopted policies for universal primary education. Yet, policy implementation is uneven and not well understood. Making Bureaucracy Work investigates when and how public agencies deliver primary education across rural India. Through a multi-level comparative analysis and more than two years of ethnographic field research, Mangla opens the 'black box' of Indian bureaucracy to demonstrate how differences in bureaucratic norms - informal rules that guide public officials and their everyday relations with citizens - generate divergent implementation patterns and outcomes. While some public agencies operate in a legalistic manner and promote compliance with policy rules, others engage in deliberation and encourage flexible problem-solving with local communities, thereby enhancing the quality of education services. This book reveals the complex ways bureaucratic norms interact with socioeconomic inequalities on the ground, illuminating the possibilities and obstacles for bureaucracy to promote inclusive development.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - We are delighted that the second issue under the guidance of the new editorial team engages significant issues in Indian politics and policy. These include COVID-19 management, the decline of institutions such as the judiciary and the election commission, coalition politics, and India's democratic consolidation, and the roots of welfarism in China, India, and Turkey. This volume also deliberates on policies and legislations that have engendered instruments such as the citizenship identification marker christened as the 'Aadhaar card' and the infamous electoral bonds scheme, which was declared illegal by the Indian Supreme Court in 2024. Some papers engage with the issue of political management. Others deal with the question of how an autocratizing executive interferes with the institutions of the state, and how the paucity of checks and balances comes with severe human costs. …
