Journal Article
Predicaments of Power and Nature in India
2009
Overview
While India underwent a transition from colonial rule to a diverse multi-party democracy, having a vibrant tradition of debate, dissent and difference in the public arena to build on, China rests on a one-party state. 6 No doubt Indian democracy has its flaws, as contributions in this issue discuss in detail, 7 but compared to China, the Indian public space is more open. 8 In many cases and in diverse ways the richness and vibrancy of the debate in and (not just) about India parallels and anticipates key strands of thought and action in the industrialised world. 9 Yet, the Chinese or Indian cases cannot be viewed in isolation from the larger global picture.\\n Even to comprehend the larger global predicaments, the local and the national remain good starting points. For a recent reappraisal especially for the inter connections of social fabric, agrarian change and forest cover, see Chaudhuri 2008; Linkenbach 2007; Dangwal 2009.For a regional comparison, see Forsyth and Walker 2008; Goodall et al. 2007; Nuttall 1998.Nag (2008) is probably the first full length work to place dearth related to natural cycles (the flowering of bamboo) at the centre of a century long social history of a region.Studies bringing in legal aspects of environmental and natural resource conflicts have begun to appear also in other fields, in addition to the well researched forest tracts.
