Governance, Security and Development (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The Book is an examination of the current state of affairs and themyriad challenges the country faces in the field of economic andsocial development, as well as internal and external threats. Thesecan be met with success only if the system of Governance is in finefettle. Unfortunately the Constitutional system that we created andwhich successfully handled the problems associated with thecreation of a new State and laid the foundations of nation buildinghas been allowed to deteriorate primarily because of the decline inthe quality of leadership who are unable to appreciate theessentiality of an efficient set of institutions to tackle thechallenges. After a thousand years of subjugation India has been givenone more opportunity by destiny to build a better future for itspeople and this opportunity should not be lost as has happened inthe past in our sad history, due to our failings. The book arguesthat more than natural endowments the quality of Governancedetermines the chances of a nation attaining both peace andprosperity. The cases of Singapore, a host of Western countriessupport this view. Also the fact that many countries in Africa andeven the Middle East who are resource rich but wallow in povertyand there is neither peace of prosperity also supports the point. The Book examines in detail the intimate relationship amongstandards of Governance and national security and development inall its dimensions. The book suggests remedies that are availableto the nation including electoral reforms, administrative andpolice reforms. The book emphasizes that unless we bring about achange in the quality of leadership in all the institutions ofGovernance by applying the criteria of merit and fitness as thebasic tests, we cannot hope for a better future.
