Social Sciences

This volume of essays succeeds in looking into the dynamic interconnection of class, caste and gender in the Indian political process. The focus is on the interconnection; i.e. relationships involving more than one category, while at the same time trying to understand each category by itself. The complex issues of class, caste and gender have been studied through a collection of essays, which look into the peoples' struggle for social equality. Social oppression has been analyzed in the context of protests against exploitation and anti-caste movements and women's movements have been studied in much detail. This important book will contribute immensely in the understanding of the contemporary Indian political process.

Institutional Development in Social Interventions: Towards Inter-Organizational Effectiveness

This book posits that development process as a whole can be sustained only through inter-group, inter-organization and inter-community collaboration. Just as developing individual skills does not necessarily make an effective team and developing groups does not automatically translate into an effective organization, similarly developing organizations individually does not result in effective inter-organizational process. The authors put forth a theory and methodology of inter-group, inter-organization and inter-community collaboration.  The book has generated fresh knowledge through responsible intervention programmes at the level of inter-organizational processes which has in turn challenged the conventional approaches in development interventions. It will provide development practitioners with a reliable conceptual base.

This book is a collection of eleven chronicles on the practices of asylum and refugee protection in India over the last fifty years.     Written by specialists in the field of law, administration, history, feminist studies and political science, this volume is simultaneously a political, legal, institutional and ethical history concerning hospitality, care and protection. The book highlights the contradictions between these virtues and the manner in which state power is organised and exercised in post-colonial India. Fundamentally, it is a study on the link between care and power.

The world we live in today is characterized by social and human disconnectedness even as we celebrate the relentless onward march of the marvels of technoconnectivity. It is in this context that this book attempts to examine industrial relations in a liberalizing, deregulated, globalizing environment through the prism of the "connectedness" frame of reference. The basic thrust of this approach is that industrial relations needs to be reexamined from the perspective of "connectedness" and that this approach has the potency to restore meaning to the study as well as practice of industrial relations.   Examining the current scenario in industrial relations the book discusses some critical issues such as: § human and social connectedness, which enrich communities and workplaces is decreasing in today's organizational set-up § the "connectedness" frame of reference can provide organizations with the conceptual tool to give direction to human resources development.  § whatever the size of the organization, organizational brand equity also gets determined by employee perceptions and sentiment about the organization.  This unusual book is a departure from the usual theory and perspective available on the subject. The books points to some important factors that are influencing industrial relations today and makes valuable suggestions for the state of things to come. It's  thoughtful and insightful interpretation of the current situation will be invaluable to students, academicians, researchers and senior management in business.
