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.
