Rise of Goliath

Editura: INDIA PORTFOLIO

Anul aparitiei: 2019

What can best illustrate India's journey in the last seven decades? Disruptions.Almost every decade of India's history since Independence has been marked by major disruptions. India became independent through an act of disruption-Partition-that killed millions in communal violence and turned many more into refugees. The turn towards a model of state-led economic development delivered as big a shock to the economy as did the food crisis or the spike in crude oil price. If the Emergency in 1975 shook the foundations of India's democracy, the unprecedented balance-of-payments crisis of 1990 turned India towards a path of economic reforms. Just as the reservation of jobs for backward castes changed the idiom of India's politics, the movement for building a temple for Ram drove India closer to becoming a majoritarian state. No less disruptive have been the telecom revolution, the banking crisis, demonetization and the launch of the goods and services tax.How did these disruptions impact India? How did they influence the rise of this Goliath?This is the story of twelve disruptions that changed India. The book also provides a peek into the kind of disruptions India could face in the ...

Backward Place (Fireside)

Editura: TOUCHSTONE PR

Anul aparitiei: 1990

From Simon & Schuster, A Backward Place is Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's unforgettable work of fiction. A Backward Place humorously explores contradictions in attitudes and lifestyles and the interplay between culture and individuality. But it is also a Dickensian drama, charting the highs and lows of everyday life against the enchanting backdrop of a bustling Indian city.

The Irish Presidency: Power, Ceremony and Politics

Editura: IRISH ACADEMIC PR

Anul aparitiei: 2014

Although the office of the president of Ireland has attracted a great deal of public attention, especially since the accession of Mary Robinson in 1990, the topic has received little focus and has been the subject of only one book-length study in 1945. This elegant and informative collection fills the gap by bringing together a set of studies which explore the political role of the Irish presidency from a comparative perspective. The in-depth analysis covers a wide range of aspects of the presidency in Ireland, such as early presidents Douglas Hyde, Sean T. O'Kelly, and Eamon de Valera; gender politics in the Irish presidency, examining the roles and implications of Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese; and the recent bitter 2011 presidential election of Michael D. Higgins and its consequences for the future of the presidency in Ireland. Also examined are more theoretical aspects of the presidency, such as the role of the Irish president in the context of other presidents or heads of state, the prehistory of the Irish presidency, and the debate of the president as a constitutional and political figurehead, or as an office with little power and in need of transformative institutional ...
