[Goanet-News] NEW BOOKS: Panchayattantra
- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) unveils his book, The Greatest Konkani Song Hits. Launch dates: Goa (Kala Academy) on 9 Aug. 4 pm. U.K. (Staines) on 15 Aug. Canada on 20 Aug and US on 30 Aug. Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com/ - Panchayattantra Empowering Local Governance Through Role Definition by Fernandes, Aureliano Published in 2008, M/s University Book House (Pvt) Ltd, 79 Chaura Rasta, Jaipur 3 uni_bookho...@yahoo.com (Jaipur, India) Panchayattantra Fernandes, Aureliano Change Cover Language: English Edition: First Format: Hardbound Buy Not available for this book.

Notes: Aureliano Freddy Fernandes is the Head of the Department of Political Science, at Goa University. His initial training was in Philosophy and Education. He has a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Goa. He is also the author of the book 'Cabinet Government in Goa 1961-1993'. First sentence: Just when adoption of Liberal democracy seemed to be perceived as the 'end point of India's evolution as a democracy', 43 years later the 73rd Amendment came as a challenge, threatening to knock out the feudal glass ceiling over India's democracy. Essentially aimed at comparative decentralization scholars and those engaged with the praxis of the art of local governance, the book is a modest attempt at showcasing how even a relatively well 'developed policy' such as Goa seeks to go through the motion of devolution without engendering meaningful participatory governance and by working the development process by exclusion.
