| Summary/Abstract |
Long distance journeys to government headquarters, accessing copies of public records, meeting officials and submitting applications after seeking information regarding prices in commodity markets is not an uncommon scenario for a rural citizen of a developing country like India. Dealing with all of this stressful mechanism involves the cost of transportation as well as income equivalent to a day's salary.

| Summary/Abstract |
The relation between civil society and environmental governance is not new. A number of developed states have introduced systems of green house gas emissions controls, but policy experience in this area is barely fifteen years old. Initiatives around adaptation are newer still. Thus societies are only beginning to learn what approaches are more or less promising. The power of ideas and the possibility of re-defining what is considered 'normal', 'possible' and 'acceptable' is often neglected in policy discussion. An example of power of ideas to shift policy frames is provided by the turn towards free markets and away from state provision that occurred in 1980s. Over the course of decades reforms aimed a reining back government and encouraging market growth dramatically altered expectation about boundaries of public- private economic activities-that is of civil society in broader sense.

| Summary/Abstract |
The demand for regional autonomy has been a much debated issue in the Indian democracy for a long period of time. The question of to what extent regional units should be given freedom was discussed at length during Constituent Assembly debates as well .Article 1 of the Indian constitution declares "India that is Bharat shall be union of states". Indian union was established by incorporating basic features of both unitary and federal form of governments and thus, creating a federal form of government during peace time and converting it in to unitary one at the time of crisis. The success of Indian democracy has been a matter of great debate around the world and also a matter of great curiosity.

| Summary/Abstract |
For democratic decentralization it is pertinent that democracy is seen as a broad participatory process in which citizens at the grass-root level take part directly in decisions affecting them, their community and their work. Though women form a sizable part of any country's population, their political representation and participation is definitely below the mark. Through the 73rd Constitutional amendment, India moved towards a big change in institutional framework of governance with 33% reservation for women at the local level i.e. panchayats. However, there are structural and procedural bottlenecks still to be taken care of including poverty, lack of education, patriarchal mode of society, lack of financial independence and lack of awareness of political rights which hamper women's ability to take independent decisions.

| Summary/Abstract |
E-governance is the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) by Government, political institutions, civil society, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) etc. to engage citizen through channels of communications and feedback process to promote greater participation in governance practice. E-governance is beyond the scope of e-government. While e-government is defined as a mere delivery of government services and information to the public using electronic means, e-governance allows direct participation of constituents in government activities.

| Summary/Abstract |
Decentralisation is witnessed in some form of sub-national government structure ranging from local governments with high degrees of autonomy, to local agents of the central state with minimal discretion, with numerous variations in between. Decentralisation can involve the power to decide the allocation and distribution of public resources, the power to implement programmes and policies and the power to raise and spend public revenues for these and other purposes.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since centuries and for generations people across the globe among various communities' practice many things in their day to day life, which has serious implication on nature, environment, sustainability and availability of resources as well as utilisation at local level.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recently, RTI has again stirred a major controversy between the two leading political parties and personalities in the forthcoming general election. The bringing of six political parties under the scanner of RTI is still a matter of debate. If the political parties are an instrument of democracy and democracy has to be scaled on parameter of transparency and accountability, RTI becomes very relevant to it but more of politics and less of concrete actions are what is visible. Whistle blowers and RTI activists are being targeted in different states of India. It proved the fact that still the legal instrument is widely practiced by an individual rather than by established institutions.

well as decentralization. Though the paper won't discuss about glocalisation process as such, the relationship between globalization and decentralization in the Indian governance system in the present juncture is creating a dichotomous situation.

| Summary/Abstract |
A globalised world has problems which are global in their spread and consequences. Logically then, such problems will require solution that can be delivered only by global initiatives and institutions, or in other words, global governance. But, what is global governance? Global governance is based mainly on intergovernmentalism, which negotiates respective national interests, but does not secure common interest.

| Summary/Abstract |
The discipline of political science has given birth to different themes, thought and action, time to time depending on the dynamics of prevailing political discourse based on immediate socio- political and economic conditions. Since the evolution of the nation state model in 16th century, based on the rationalist, secular and progressive thought of Industrial revolution and Renaissance period, it has well been reactive to the emerging political developments.
