The Problem of Change


Book Description

Before the introduction of modern political and administrative institutions after 1947, Northeast India led a comparatively cloistered existence. The steps taken toward "development" during the last forty years have radically altered the economic, social, and political organization of the region and made it one of the most disturbed and politically volatile in all of India. This book analyzes the problems and prospects for change in the Northeast in light of its complex history.

Outlook of the North East India


Book Description

The contributions in this volume--presented at a national seminar organized by the North-East India Council for Social Science Research--take stock of the state of the agriculture in North-East India. Analyzing the impact of recent agricultural changes on population growth, migration, and health, this account addresses a variety of issues, including crop diversification pattern, land size and productivity, agrarian reforms, and the roles of women in the agricultural sector. As it indicates several novel opportunities for new investments that can catalyze the region's development process, it especially attempts to propagate a new principle on the promotion of sustainable agriculture while conserving the biodiversity.




Global Governance and India’s North-East


Book Description

This book maps the convergence of governance and connectivity within Asia established through the spatial dynamics of trade, capital, conflict, borders and mobility. It situates Indian trade and governance policies within a broader Asian and global context. Focussing on India’s North-East, in particular on India’s Look and Act East Policy, the volume underscores how logistical governance in the region can bring economic and political transformations. It explores the projected development of the North-East into a gateway of transformative cultural interaction among people, just as the Silk Road became a conduit for Buddhism to travel along with musical instruments and tea. Comprehensive and topical, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of political studies, international relations, governance studies, development studies, international trade and economics and for think tanks working on South and Southeast Asia.
