Cambridge University Press Informal Labor Formal Politics and Dignified Discontent in India
Book SynopsisRina Agarwala investigates how vulnerable workers are organizing to improve their livelihoods in India. Drawing on 300 personal interviews with women workers in construction and tobacco, she finds these workers are launching an innovative movement to assert their rights.Trade Review'… this is a highly readable, well-researched, informative, important book. Agarwala shows careful, thorough methodological and conceptual thinking while responding to and building on a large body of scholarly research. Using considerable quantitative data and extensive interviews with government officials and scores of women working in the informal economy in three states (Maharashtra, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu), the author investigates and largely dismantles the notion that poor often-illiterate workers with no formal employer can organize as workers. Summing up: highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' G. M. Massey, Choice'Rina Agarwala's book is refreshingly different … It throws up new ideas about the informal economy through its bold analysis. The author's background of political science and sociology helps raise the analysis above the mundane cost-benefit analysis framework. The most important aspect of the book is that it shows that though informal workers are the wretched of the earth, they are learning to raise their heads and fight for their dignity. It is definitely a very important contribution to the study of informal labour, and should be of interest to all social scientists.' Sharit K. Bhowmik, Economic and Political Weekly'Rina Agarwala's exciting volume Informal Labor, Formal Politics, and Dignified Discontent in India presents itself to the reader as a tale of informal workers' strategies to organize and attain welfare benefits from the Indian state in a context of rapid economic growth and of progressive increase in inequalities … Agarwala's analysis is thus multifaceted, sophisticated and rich with insightful findings.' Annalisa Murgia, American Journal of Sociology'Who then speak for the IS workers and the growing number of casuals in the formal labor market? This is where the book of Rina Agarwala - Informal Labor, Formal Politics, and Dignified Discontent in India - comes in as a provocative piece of scholarship on the role of traditional unionism in today's highly segmented labor market that is continuously churning under the pressures of globalization … Agarwala's book challenges students and scholars of the labor movement to re-think state-labor relations.' Rene E. Ofreneo, Asian Politics and Policy'Agarwala's work represents an important contribution to the literature in this area. Her analysis is extremely rich both theoretically and empirically … Advanced scholars interested in changes in the nature of work and the conditions of workers globally should pay attention to this book.' Denise Benoit Scott, Gender and Society'This study of informal workers in urban India comes at an ideal time as the country undergoes rapid economic and social change. In addition, the rich, qualitative evidence that Agarwala has carefully gleaned through semi-structured interviews and participant observation stands as a model for students of labor politics. Those interested in understanding the politics of labor, social welfare, and state-society relations in contemporary India will find this book immensely rewarding.' Akshay Mangla, Industrial and Labor Relations ReviewTable of Contents1. Introduction: informal workers' movements and the state; 2. Struggling with informality; 3. The success of competitive populism; 4. Communism's resistance to change; 5. Why accommodation leads to minimal gains; 6. Conclusion: dignifying discontent.

Cambridge University Press Enhancing Public Innovation by Transforming Public Governance
Book SynopsisRising and changing citizen expectations, dire fiscal constraints, unfulfilled political aspirations, high professional ambitions, and a growing number of stubborn societal problems have generated an increasing demand for innovation of public policies and services. Drawing on the latest research, this book examines how current systems of public governance can be transformed in order to enhance public innovation. It scrutinizes the need for new roles and public sector reforms, and analyzes how the gradual transition towards New Public Governance can stimulate the exploration and exploitation of new and bold ideas in the public sector. It argues that the key to public innovation lies in combining and balancing elements from Classic Public Administration, New Public Management and New Public Governance, and theorizes how it can be enhanced by multi-actor collaboration for the benefit of public officials, private stakeholders, citizens, and society at large.Table of Contents1. Enhancing public innovation by transforming public governance? Jacob Torfing and Peter Triantafillou; 2. Collaborative governance as creative problem-solving Chris Ansell; 3.

Cambridge University Press Elite Parties Poor Voters
Book SynopsisWhy do poor people often vote against their material interests? This puzzle has been famously studied within wealthy Western democracies, yet the fact that the poor voter paradox also routinely manifests within poor countries has remained unexplored. This book studies how this paradox emerged in India, the world's largest democracy.Trade Review'Why would poor people support elite parties that do not advance their interests? In a fascinating and rigorous analysis, Tariq Thachil demonstrates that the private provision of services serves both the interests of poor supporters and the elite core. This incisive and compelling book addresses critical questions in comparative politics about the nature and uses of political parties, their supporters, and patronage.' Anna Grzymala-Busse, University of Michigan'This is a truly superb, important, and beautifully written book. Thachil uses the fascinating case of India's BJP to explore how elite parties try to recruit and mobilize poor voters. Besides shedding highly original empirical light on the most populous poor electorate on earth, Thachil offers a major contribution to a wide array of theoretical literatures, ranging from clientelism to religion to party organizations. Elite Parties, Poor Voters will deservedly attract a major audience in South Asian and comparative politics circles alike.' Dan Slater, University of Chicago'The triumph of the Hindu nationalist BJP party in India's most recent general election was no surprise. Rather, as Tariq Thachil shows here, its victory was rooted in a painstakingly built record of service provision by its social wings. Thachil's sophisticated theorizing is ably undergirded by rigorous multifaceted evidence. In a world of neoliberal economic policy prescriptions that leave poorer citizens of developing countries few alternatives to services provided by extremist groups in their societies, Elite Parties, Poor Voters deserves serious attention from anyone interested in political parties, elections, or India.' Irfan Nooruddin, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC'This book adds important new dimensions to discussions of why and how the BJP, an upper-caste Hindu nationalist political party in India, gains support from non-elite voters outside of its core support base. Thachil's focus on the BJP's 'patient' methods of persuasion presents a convincing argument about the conditions under which service provision pays off in attracting votes. His position is well-supported by a formidable combination of different types of quantitative data supplemented by qualitative research. Thachil's insightful characterization of the broader implications of his argument brings new perspectives and depth to studies of vote-buying and electoral politics in the non-Western world.' Melani Cammett, Brown University, Rhode Island'Why poor people support political parties that represent the economic interests of the wealthier communities is a puzzle amply discussed in the literature on the developing world. But it remains a black box in the developing world. Combining ethnography, large-n statistical work, and good old 'soaking and poking', as Richard Fenno put it, Thachil enters that black box … It is noteworthy that as Elite Parties, Poor Voters was about to be published, something eerily confirming its basic arguments happened. In India's 2014 national elections, the [historically upper caste] BJP polled more votes than the Congress Party among three of the biggest subaltern categories … which was unprecedented. Thachil had already worked for years on how this denouement might have come about. He was able to identify the deeper forces and strategies at work.' Ashutosh Varshney, Perspectives on Politics'Why do poor people often support political parties that do not champion their material interests? The excellent response that Tariq Thachil offers, based on mixed methods, is very sophisticated and nuanced. After dismissing the commonplace interpretations that do not work fully - including clientelism and the instrumentalization of religion - Thachil presents his own thesis and argues the expansion of private welfare played a key role in explaining the unlikely success of an elite party within the world's biggest democracy … Thachil's remarkable book is the first attempt to analyze in detail how the BJP can derive some electoral dividends from social work.' Christophe Jaffrelot, Journal of Asian Studies'Elite Parties, Poor Voters masterfully walks a number of proverbial tightropes at once. It offers a parsimonious theoretical argument without sacrificing nuance; it is grounded in qualitative fieldwork, while making use of sophisticated quantitative methods; and it represents a timely, much-needed treatment of Indian politics that speaks to the wider comparative politics literature and travels beyond India … Elite Parties, Poor Voters represents the best of what comparative politics has to offer.' Adam Ziegfeld, The Journal of Politics'Elite Parties, Poor Voters is a major contribution to our understanding of how India's parties court the poor, and will be an invaluable resource for researchers examining these questions comparatively.' Rob Jenkins, Pacific AffairsTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. An elite party's struggles with poor voters; 3. Why rich and poor voters support an elite party in India; 4. Why an elite party turned to service; 5. How service wins votes; 6. When service fails: the impact of rival strategies; 7. The argument in comparative perspective; 8. Conclusion; Appendix A. Variables, sources, and summary statistics; Appendix B. Additional tables and figures; Appendix C. Supplemental survey information; Appendix D. List of information in online supplement.

Book SynopsisA must-read ecological message of hope . . . Everyone with an interest in the future of this planet should read this book. --David Mitchell, The GuardianWhen climate activist Greta Thunberg was eleven, her parents Malena and Svante, and her little sister Beata, were facing a crisis in their own home. Greta had stopped eating and speaking, and her mother and father had reconfigured their lives to care for her. Desperate and searching for answers, her parents discovered what was at the heart of Greta’s distress: her imperiled future on a rapidly heating planet. Steered by Greta’s determination to understand the truth and generate change, they began to see the deep connections between their own suffering and the planet’s. Written by a remarkable family and told through the voice of an iconoclastic mother, Our House Is on Fire is the story of how they fought their problems at home by taking global action. And it is th

Book SynopsisShe was hired to nurse them back to health...instead, she took their lives.For months, the DaVita Dialysis Center in Lufkin, Texas had been baffled by the rising number of deaths and injuries occurring in their clinic. In April alone, they’d rushed thirty-four patients to the hospital. But no one expected such a horrific cause to be behind it all.Kimberly Clark Saenz was a well-liked licensed vocational nurse at the center. The East Texas nurse was a mother of two, and known for her smiles and the stories she told to help patients pass the time. But on April 28, 2008, witnesses came forward to say that instead of lifesaving medication, they’d seen Saenz adding toxic bleach to IV ports. Turns out, it wasn’t the first time. Once caught, the shocking story of Saenz’s murderous practices began to unravel…INCLUDES PHOTOS

Beyond contributing substantively to the literature by covering hitherto uncharted terrain, Yamagishi's claims about the mechanisms underlying war-period health policy change deserve closer scrutiny and will be of interest to a broad audience. -- A.K.M.

Georgetown University Press United States Welfare Policy: A Catholic Response
Book SynopsisThe Welfare Reform Act of 1996 drastically changed the delivery of social services in the United States for the first time in sixty years. More than a decade later, according to Catholic social ethicist Thomas Massaro, a disturbing gap exists between the laws we have enacted as a nation and the moral concerns we profess as a people. Massaro contends that ethicists too often focus on strictly theoretical concerns rather than engaging concrete social and political issues, while public policy experts are uncomfortable drawing ethical judgments about legislation. United States Welfare Policy takes a fresh approach to the topic by using Catholic social teaching as a lens through which to view contemporary American welfare policies, citing the tradition's emphasis on serving the needy—including a preferential option for the poor—and the common good. Massaro maintains that the most important outcome of welfare policy is not the cost-effectiveness of programs, but the well-being of individual families. The concluding analysis of this thoughtful study applies Catholic ethical concerns to specific aspects of welfare reform, including the funding mechanisms for the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program, work participation requirements affecting the bond between mothers and children, eligibility rules, the intrusion of family caps into reproductive decisions, and the imposition of disproportionate burdens upon particular demographic groups. Massaro offers possible alternatives in each case and, as the fight over reauthorization of the welfare act continues, he calls on Catholic churches and clergy and laity to take action and advocate publicly for a more ethical approach to welfare reform.Trade ReviewMassaro's holistic reliance on theology, political narrative, and an assessment of the law's measurable human impact contributes to a fuller picture of welfare reform than [is] available in most accounts. * Commonweal *A valuable resource in setting out what religious social ethics require of a more just welfare policy. * Politics and Religion *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction 1.
