Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Since emergence of the recent economic and financial crisis, the world over, explanatory power of social sciences and their methods of analysis are being questioned more vigourously. Even the validity of water tight compartmentalisation of social science into various disciplines is being q…uestioned. Consensus appears to be emerging that political economy approach to teaching and research may be encouraged where in interaction of economic, political and social processes are not lost sight of while analysing various social issues. The task is challenging as traditional mode of analysis in various disciplines which assumes that the factors assigned to the domains of other disciplines remaining unchanged, how dominant factors which constitute a discipline will interact and to subject those outcomes to empirical verification. This mode of thinking and research need to be replaced by dialectical method whereby interaction of economic, political and social factors is taken into consideration in formulation of various research questions and attempting possible explanations. This volume seeks to encourage such an approach to social analysis. It examines various emerging issues in the society in the era of globalization. This volume has been arranged in four sections: State, Market, Industry and Globalization; Rural Society and Agrarian Change; Participatory Democracy and Governance; and Gender, Development and Disparities. It is expected that issues raised and approach to the analysis will benefit scholars to comprehend social reality with a new perspective and approach. It will help policy makers to look at more realistic conclusions for policy making.
