Development as recolonization: the political ecology of the Endosulphan disaster in Kasargod, India / Satheesh, Silpa   Journal Article
Satheesh, Silpa Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper examines the Endosulphan pesticide disaster in Kasargod, Kerala, India. The paper argues that the pesticide disaster was the culmination of an agrarian modernization project implemented in the region by the state-owned Plantation Corporation of Kerala (PCK). An exploration of the political ecology of the disaster shows the recolonization of residents and nature by PCK through neocolonial forms of centralized and exclusionary spatial and resource control mechanisms. In this context, the paper questions the glorification of the “Kerala model” of development from the standpoints of environmental justice and resource rights, relying on the lived experiences of the people of Kasargod.

Indigenous Self-Determination and the legitimacy of sovereign s / Keal, Paul   Journal Article
Keal, Paul Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2007.
Summary/Abstract Self-determination is the cardinal right sought by Indigenous peoples and in practice it may require states to accept divisible sovereignty. For most states, self-determination is framed by decolonization and is applicable to Indigenous peoples only in limited senses of self-government within state structures. Self-determination, however, is enshrined in key human rights documents and by denying Indigenous peoples the right to it, they jeopardize the legitimacy of the human rights regime, and the legitimacy of the United Nations as a source of progressive international law. They also widen the rift between international and world society raising important questions for the legitimacy of the sovereignty system

Mukhopadhyay, Apurba Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Serious minded scholars on Indian politics had no illusion about the socialist credentials of the Nehruvian state. They only felt that this state would provide some of the basic prerequisites for the lives of common men and women following a revised agenda of liberal democratic social reforms. They also expected this state to preserve and pronote some of the basic norms of democratic state building through suitable institutions arrangements.
