Brand, Alexander Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

The double meaning of this refers to, first, their own experience of recent rapid growth and the chances of replicating this development elsewhere. Second, it points to the external development assistance policies of the BRICs towards the global South and their impact on development thinking and practice.

Decentralizing water services in India: the politics of institutional reforms / Singh, Satyajit   Journal Article
Singh, Satyajit Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This paper examines decentralized reform initiatives in the Indian rural water sector from a policy perspective as well as from a political perspective focused on institutional design and implementation at the local level. It argues that normative economic prescriptions regarding decentralization are not very useful. The paper finds that the institutional architecture for decentralized reforms is highly contested and requires a better understanding of power and the role of micro-politics in shaping decentralization designs and outcomes. It also suggests that greater devolution in the water sector can lead to greater decentralization and democratization across sectors.
