This book portrays India as a representative of post-colonial democratic republic states with a parliamentary form of federal-structured government and analyzes the critical challenges faced by such states in generating broadly shared economic well-being and quality of life. The reader is shown how creating and utilizing physical, human, financial, and social assets under the aegis of public policies help achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to provide a global framework to move toward a more equitable, peaceful, resilient, and prosperous society by 2030. It not only addresses how the state's capacity has long been linked to the available economic resources, but also unfolds how the political system thus evolves to crucially determine the capacity of the state to implement its programs. The chapters of this book are particularly focused on judging the state's capacity amid the neo-liberal ascendancy that has been triggered by the opening up of both the domestic and external economy, significantly initiated since 1991 and popularly known as the economic reforms in India.

Examined here is the potency of the public policies of the country in fulfilling the sustainable development agendas, the specificity of which places the state at the heart of its execution, unlike many other versions of development that would be executed in parallel with or without states' action. This work book has three principal foci facets within the broad swath of discussions covered by different chapters: (1) It critically examines how successful remains the public policies in mobilizing the population is mobilized to the next orbit of income, employment, education, and health consequent to amid the existing considerable magnitude of social and economic inequalities while achieving "equity" has always been the declared agenda in the post-reform public policy frameworks; (2) It traces the rationality of the transformation of the public policies and welfare strategies duringthe post-reform period in terms of motives, goals, and coverage to achieve the SDGs; and, (3) It reviews specific post-reform policies in terms of their potency to stimulate the system in addressing sustainable development. and upholding the state's dominant and structuring intervention to resolve the existing inequalities and ensure that society develops amidst a harmonious world reconciled with nature.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書描繪了印度作為後殖民民主共和國的代表,擁有議會制的聯邦結構政府,並分析了這些國家在促進廣泛共享的經濟福祉和生活品質方面所面臨的重大挑戰。讀者將了解到,在公共政策的指導下,創造和利用物質、人力、財務和社會資產如何有助於實現可持續發展目標(SDGs),以提供一個全球框架,朝向更公平、和平、韌性和繁榮的社會邁進,目標定於2030年。本書不僅探討了國家的能力如何長期與可用的經濟資源相關聯,還揭示了政治體系如何演變,關鍵地決定國家實施其計劃的能力。本書的各章特別集中於評估國家在新自由主義興起背景下的能力,這一背景是由於自1991年以來國內和外部經濟的開放而引發的,這一過程通常被稱為印度的經濟改革。

本書檢視了該國公共政策在實現可持續發展議程中的效力,其特點在於將國家置於執行的核心,這與許多其他發展版本不同,後者可能在有或沒有國家行動的情況下並行執行。本書的討論涵蓋了不同章節中的三個主要焦點:(1) 批判性地檢視公共政策在動員人口邁向更高收入、就業、教育和健康方面的成功程度,特別是在現有的社會和經濟不平等的重大背景下,實現「公平」始終是後改革公共政策框架中宣稱的議程;(2) 追溯後改革時期公共政策和福利策略轉型的合理性,從動機、目標和覆蓋範圍的角度來實現SDGs;(3) 評估特定的後改革政策在促進系統應對可持續發展方面的效力,並維護國家的主導和結構性介入,以解決現有的不平等,確保社會在與自然和諧共處的世界中發展。
