Soft cover. Condition: New. Data Centres (DCs) have emerged as the key infrastructure for amassing and processing the lifeblood of the globalised digital economydata. So far, the digital economy has been studied in terms of information technology labour, regimes of privacy or data protection, and the implications of living in an increasingly connected world. Data Centres as Infrastructure goes beyond technical/business-oriented accounts of DCs and views them as both an object and a principle of governance in India, one of the world's most prominent rising markets for DCs. The authors understand DCs not just as technical infrastructure, but as political institutions that make and exercise new forms of power while negotiating state and capital in the postcolonial nation. Taking a historical and sociological approach to DCs, this volume explores actual social contexts of policy-making and practice in relation to problems of digitalisation that inflect the way in which lives, commerce, and governance are shaped in India. Through case studies, the authors examine a 'captive' Data Centre deployed by the state-owned electricity discom WBSEDCL, to highlight a specific techno-political issuethe theft of power and the '(un)management' of its loss. The volume also examines the production of a new form of territoriality, economy, and polity in the Navi Mumbai area, known for being home to several large DCs. The Introduction highlights some of these concerns through a discussion of how the Indian state yields space to norms of corporatised governance while also enrolling new kinds of data-fied subjects through the Aadhaar project, demonetisation and 'data localisation'. This novel contribution will interest scholars and policy professionals concerned about the social and political impact of the digital economy in India.…

To a curious onlooker, Bihar seems like a place full of paradoxes. It has a rich cultural heritage from the civilisational past, but evokes images of being uncultured , primitive and rustic in the present. Traversing Bihar depicts and interprets Bihar s internal contradictions and struggles. The volume examines and analyses crucial political, social and developmental concerns of the state over the past two decades. Between 1990 and 2005, Bihar under Lalu Prasad Yadav witnessed a social churning, called the politics of social justice. This period ushered in a process of de-elitisation of politics with far-reaching consequences. However, over time, Yadav s regime became chaotic and failed to combine change and development. In 2005, the people voted for a change and brought the Nitish Kumar-led JDU-BJP coalition to power. The new regime restored the state-the police, the quiescent bureaucracy, the rule of law. It seemed to be making concerted efforts to improve the climate of development in the state. The 13 chapters of this volume, divided into three sections, look into issues such as growth and development, the politics of water resources, social exclusion in flood response, land rights, agrarian relations, the Left movement, and voting patterns in Bihar. Well into its second term, the concerns about Bihar have re-emerged. Is Nitish Kumar s model of development devoid of social justice? Does it re-elitise politics? Why did the new developmental state renege on its promises of tenancy reforms? Is the bureaucracy not responsible for raising the scale of corruption? Was the restoration of law and order and the model of development geared to satisfy middle-class demands for security and well-being? In asking these questions and providing in-depth analyses of Bihar s contemporary issues, this one-of-a-kind book will be an invaluable guide for scholars and students of economics, development studies and political science. …
