"The economic development and its idea has sunk deep in people\'s minds as have the concepts of democracy, socialism, and secularism, while the project of development, backed by powerful global, rational, and local interests, has produced a growing divide between the elites and the people. It has also affected the intellectual community as well and there has developed a ranging debate on what should constitute the agenda of development.

It is this phenomena in its varied dimensions which the editor of this book has tried to explore. Tackling as it does varies concerns which are of growing importance in most developing countries, the collection in this book is of thought provoking critical reviews/ papers/ articles from India and abroad which would appeal to a wide range of readers."
