Juggernaut Publication The Colonial Constitution
Book SynopsisIn December 1946, a diverse bunch of battle-weary Indian nationalists took up the challenge of a lifetime: drafting the constitution of a soon to be independent India. But, curiously, this document seemed divorced from their own experience as freedom fighters.While during the freedom movement, the Government of India Act 1935 had been reviled as a charter of slavery', now more than a third of the Constitution was directly borrowed from it. While many members of the Constituent Assembly had experienced the brutality of preventive detention and the law against sedition, the Assembly didn't outlaw either. While Gandhiji had talked about keeping sovereign power close to the people through the gram panchayat, the Constitution gave Indians a powerful, remote Union government. Though citizens had some important fundamental rights, the government could suspend these rights at will using its wide emergency powers, wider than even what the British had when they left India.

HarperCollins India Liberty After Freedom: A History of Article 21,
Book SynopsisLiberty After Freedom explores the origins of what is today considered the most important fundamental right in the Indian Constitution - the right to life and personal liberty guaranteed by Article 21. This is the article which in recent years made the right to privacy as well as the decriminalization of homosexuality possible. Without a doubt, Article 21 has had the most outsized influence on the progressive development of rights in India.But the story of how this important right was birthed is deeply controversial and its passage in the Constituent Assembly divided opinion like no other feature of the Constitution. Liberty After Freedom explores the intellectual beginnings of this paramount fundamental right in an attempt to decode and unravel the controversies which raged at the time the Constitution was being crafted.

Ian Randle Publishers,Jamaica Beyond Westminster in the Caribbean
Book SynopsisThe challenges faced by Commonwealth Caribbean democracies particularly in the past 20 years has forced a reckoning with how the Westminster model of government has served the needs of these small states. Crime, corruption and struggling economies operating in a globalised world have brought into sharp relief the threat to once-stable democracies.Beyond Westminster in the Caribbean analyses Westminster governance in the post-independence Caribbean and reflects on the weaknesses of the model, the absence of a will to change despite the deficiencies and proposals for the way forward. Drawing on the contributions of distinguished scholars, prominent serving politicians and a sitting prime minister, the book offers a critical review of the state of Caribbean constitutions and a frank discussion of whether these small states can weather the threats that have presented themselves since the end of the Cold-War and the rise of neoliberalism. Can the Westminister model survive and thrive in the contemporary Caribbean, or is it time to move beyond Westminster?

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Divided China: Preparing For Reunification
Book SynopsisThe oneness of China is the norm. Periods of divisions are aberrations. This is how Chinese thinkers, leaders and ultimately the majority of Chinese people have regarded Chinese politics and history for more than 2,000 years.The oneness was never perfect. As long as certain minimal conditions were met and the polity which proclaimed that oneness was widely acknowledged, that was enough. Chinese ruling elites adopted this pragmatic approach so they could ensure that the ideal could always approximate China's reality.This is a revised edition of a study undertaken to explain what happened during one of the worst periods of division in Chinese history. What were the key factors that helped the centripetal forces to get back to the imperial norm? It begins with the final stage of decline of the Tang dynasty (618-907) and ends 50 years later when it became clear that the foundations for a last push towards unification were in place.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Building Service-oriented Government: Lessons,
Book SynopsisProviding quality public service is one of the essential functions of a government. In the turbulent time, however, governments worldwide are experiencing a variety of unprecedented challenges to meet citizens' increasing demands and expectations. In China, building a service-oriented government and a harmonious society is central to the 12th Five-Year Plan and challenges the governance philosophies, capacities and competencies of Chinese government at every level. Researchers of Nanyang Centre for Public Administration (NCPA) at Nanyang Technological University systematically examined the concept of service-oriented government in the context of China and developed an assessment scheme to evaluate the performance of building service-oriented government in Chinese cities. Under the auspices of the Lien Foundation in Singapore, based on the assessment scheme, they conducted large-scale telephone surveys of citizens and businesses in 32 major Chinese cities in 2011. This book presents their findings and empirical studies on public service performance, citizen satisfaction, political trust and government transparency based on the data collected from the 2011 Lien project. Moreover, it also includes selected papers presented at the 2012 Lien International Conference on Public Administration in Singapore. Contributed by scholars from Mainland China, the US, Hong Kong and Singapore, these papers discuss various important issues related with building a service-oriented government including public ethical values, the roles of NGO, social accountability, urban integration, performance measurement and emotional labor in public service.Table of ContentsLien Chinese Cities Service-Oriented Government Index; Ethical Values and Service-Oriented Government; Emotional Labor in Public Service; Performance Measurement, a Comparative East-West Context; Public Service in Higher Education; Integrated Development of Metropolitan Governance and Public Service; The Roles of NGOs; Political Trust, Government Transparency; Public Service Quality, Citizen-Level Predictors vs. City-Level Predictors; Public Education Service.
