What are the prospects and means of achieving development through a democratic politics of socio-economic rights? Starting from the position that socio-economic rights are as legally and normatively valid as civil and political rights, this anthology explores the politics of acquiring and transforming socio-economic rights in South Africa. The book brings together an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars in an examination of the multifaceted politics of social and economic policy-making, rights-based political struggles and socio-economic rights litigations. The post-apartheid South African experience shows that there is no guarantee that democracy will eliminate poverty or reduce social inequality, but also that democratic institutions and politics may provide important means for asserting interests and rights in regard to development. Thus it is argued that democratic politics of socio-economic rights may democratise development while also developing democracy.

Decades of official development aid to the Third World have, largely, entrenched privilege and, through the debt crisis, increased impoverishment. The poor have been increasingly marginalized and disregarded. Often in the teeth of intense opposition they have begun to create their own, democratic, organisations - credit unions, co-operatives, legal and medical aid services and so on - whose natural allies are the voluntary organisations of the North (non-governmental organizations - NGOs)

Development emerged as the most promising idea of progress in the post-second world war period in the 1940s. In the Indian parlance, democracy was added to the model of development by combining economic development with social justice. This has shaped both policy and popular aspiration in post-Independent India. In this context, this book explores two dominant streams of development - economic growth projects and poverty eradication projects - and assesses the democratic potential of development or its absence through the issues of equity, rights and social justice. In discussing democratization of development, the book brings into sharp focus the dynamics of power, ownership and control of resources, institutions of the state and the market, and local as well as global influences. Examining development through the lens of the most marginalized, the book shows why democratization of development is of such significance to them. It shows the role of both the state and civil society in infusing development with democracy. The book presents primary ethnographic research and empirically drawn cases, and supplements these with theoretical and analytical arguments. It draws from multiple streams of social science: social history, sociology, social anthropology and political sociology, and contributes to contemporary debates in social science such as development, democracy, rights, social justice, civil society, social mobilization, social inclusion, redistribution, and participatory governance. This book will be of interest to scholars, students and policy makers. It will appeal to development studies, international studies, sociology, social anthropology, and policy studies.

Since 2009, international climate activism has focused on stopping coalmining in solidarity with local and Indigenous struggles that are resisting coalmining. Based on ethnographic and historic research in Australia and India, this book compares the politics and resistance to coal in the two countries, particularly focusing on the time period between 2009 and 2018, and the case of the Carmichael coalmine in Queensland and the Mahan coalmine in central India. This book shows differences and similarities in the political economy of coal and creates understanding about the significantly different imperatives and narratives of anti-coal environmentalism, in Australia and India. Through the Stop Adani movement and its collaboration with the Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners and farmers against coalmining in Queensland, and Greenpeace and forest-based communities resisting coalmining in Madhya Pradesh, Ruchira Talukdar not only explores anti-coal movement dynamics but also how these movements grapple with the violation of Indigenous land rights through coal extraction, in both places. Drawing on differences and patterns in Australian and Indian anti-coal activisms, this book proposes a global outlook – an intersectional framework beyond the singularity of ‘stopping coal’ that can encapsulate visions for secure futures of communities on the frontlines of fossil fuel struggles – for climate activism. The conclusions help to decolonize climate activism as well as make it cognizant of global North-South contextual differences for effective solidarity. The author’s unique vantage point through experience in environmental activism over 20 years across Australia and India combined with research in both countries, makes this book a crucial resource for scholars and practitioners in just transition, climate politics and environmental activism across the global North and South.

In recent years trade, aid and development have been subjects of renewed political and public debate with the establishment of the World Trade Organisation, the adoption of the Millennium Declaration, increases in aid - albeit from low levels, and a growing recognition that human security for all ultimately requires a world free of poverty. This festschrift for Helen O'Neill, Professor Emeritus of Economics at University College Dublin, examines the theory and practice of development co-operation over the past half century. It discusses key trends in development policy. The distinguished contributors from various disciplines - friends and former colleagues of Helen O'Neill - analyse the links between development policy and other aspects of countries' external and domestic policies. They highlight how achieving policy coherence in support of international development objectives is not an easy task as conflicting national and international interests exist and policy choices are ultimately determined by political rather than technical agendas.The diversity of analyses and perspectives on globalisation, trade, aid and development running throughout the book is testimony to the continuing importance and relevance of development studies at a critical juncture in international relations. The range of analyses presented will stimulate and challenge readers' ideas and perspectives on development in a globalising world.
