Reclaiming Indigeneity and Democracy in India's Jharkhand
Created in 2000 following a long-standing regional movement, Jharkhand-the land of forests-represents an important experiment in regional autonomy and self-determination for indigenous communities in a postcolonial democracy. Over two decades, Jharkhand has experienced a volatile political environment as competing political groups have mobilised indigenous subaltern communities for different ends. In Reclaiming Indigeneity and Democracy in India's Jharkhand,Ipshita Basu contributes to scholarship on critical social justice and indigeneity by highlighting 'relations of justification' as a central feature of group-based claims-making for social groups identifying with indigeneity in diverse ways. Specifically, the book focuses on reclaiming political recognitionfor Adivasis within the contemporary dynamics of majoritarian populism and the market economy. Uniting perspectives from philosophy (social justice), politics (democracy and public reasoning), and culture studies (identity), and based on ethnographic and archival research, the author indicates that when 'relations' are at the epicentre of claims-making, expressive attachments determine political activism over the instrumental choices that groups are compelled to make in the context of largepower differentials. This book is a timely account of indigenous politics and is an attempt to foreground the complex 'political nature' of social justice claims-making in a democracy such as India.

Violent Conjunctures in Democratic India
This book is a pioneering study of when and why Hindu Nationalists have engaged in discrimination and violence against minorities in contemporary India. Amrita Basu asks why the incidence and severity of violence differs significantly across Indian states, within states, and through time. Contrary to many predictions, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has neither consistently engaged in anti-minority violence nor been compelled by the centrifugal pressures of democracy to become a centrist party. Rather, the national BJP has alternated between moderation and militancy. Hindu nationalist violence has been conjunctural, determined by relations among its own party, social movement organization, and state governments, and on the character of opposition states, parties and movements. This study accords particular importance to the role of social movements in precipitating anti-minority violence. It calls for a broader understanding of social movements and a greater appreciation of their relationship to political parties.

Two Faces of Protest
Drawing on case studies of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in West Bengal and Shramik Sangathana in Maharashtra, this ground-breaking new work examines Indian women's political activism. Investigating institutional change at the state level and protest at the village level, Amrita Basu traces the paths of two kinds of political activism among these women. With insights gleaned from extensive interviews with activists, government officials, and ordinary men and women, she finds that militancy has been fueled by pronounced sexual and class cleavages combined with potentially rancorous ethnic division. Thorough in its fieldwork, incisive in its political analysis, Two Faces of Protest offers a richly textured and sensitive view of women's political activism in the Third World. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1992.

Republic of Beliefs
A leading economist offers a radically new approach to the economic analysis of the lawThe Republic of Beliefs argues that the traditional economic analysis of the law has significant flaws and has failed to answer certain critical questions satisfactorily. Why are good laws drafted but never implemented? When laws are unenforced, is it a failure of the law or the enforcers? And, considering that laws are simply words on paper, why are they effective? Offering a provocative alternative to how the relationship between economics and real-world law enforcement is commonly understood, Kaushik Basu demonstrates the connections between social norms and the law and shows how well-conceived ideas can change and benefit human behavior. The Republic of Beliefs provides a new paradigm that will enable better laws and a fairer society.

Migrant Epistemologies in Indian Nonfiction of the Long Twentieth Century
Attending to non-fiction texts from India and the Global South, Migrant Epistemologies identifies migratory contact zones as sites on which contrary epistemic stances may co-exist, despite their differences, in a symbiotic ecology. Given the increasing traffic between differentially empowered groups around the world, their distinct cognitive practices must often meet one another head-on. Manisha Basu argues that in the best of such circumstances, migrants and hosts open themselves to unlearning their own dominant worldviews and animating other ways of knowing. Unlike accounts of migration that accentuate the violences involved in the movements of peoples, this book foregrounds relatively peaceable, but still complex, migratory encounters that imagine an epistemologically diverse world resulting in social and environmental justice.

Der Rechtsstaat als Geflecht von Erwartungen
In diesem Buch argumentiert Kaushik Basu, einer der weltweit führenden Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, dass die traditionelle ökonomische Analyse des Rechts erhebliche Mängel aufweist und bestimmte kritische Fragen nicht zufriedenstellend beantworten kann. Warum werden gute Gesetze formuliert, aber nie umgesetzt? Wenn Gesetze nicht durchgesetzt werden, ist das dann ein Versagen des Gesetzes oder der Vollstrecker? Und, was am wichtigsten ist, wenn man bedenkt, dass Gesetze nur Worte auf dem Papier sind, warum sind sie dann wirksam? Basu bietet eine provokante Alternative, wie die Beziehung zwischen Wirtschaft und realer Rechtsdurchsetzung verstanden werden kann.Basu fasst die neoklassische Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaft zusammen, bevor er sich mit den Schwächen dieser Disziplin befasst. Mit Hilfe der modernen Spieltheorie entwickelt er einen "Brennpunkt"-Ansatz, der nicht nur die eigennützigen Handlungen der Bürger modelliert, die Gesetze befolgen müssen, sondern auch die Funktionäre des Staates - Politiker, Richter und Bürokraten -, die diese Gesetze durchsetzen. Er veranschaulicht die Zusammenhänge zwischen sozialen Normen und dem Gesetz und zeigt, wie gut durchdachte Ideen das menschliche Verhalten verändern und fördern können. Zum Beispiel werden sich Geber und Nehmer von Bestechungsgeldern zusammentun, wenn sie vor dem Gesetz gleich behandelt werden. Und bei Nahrungsmittelhilfeprogrammen sollten Gutscheine direkt an die Armen ausgegeben werden, um zu verhindern, dass Ladenbesitzer subventionierte Rationen auf dem freien Markt verkaufen. Basu liefert ein neues Paradigma für das Zusammenspiel von Recht und Wirtschaft - ein Rahmen, der sowohl für weniger entwickelte Länder als auch für die entwickelte Welt gilt."Der Rechtsstaat als Geflecht von Erwartungen" zeigt die Grenzen und Möglichkeiten von Recht und Wirtschaft auf und schlägt eine neue Denkweise vor, die wirksamere Gesetze und eine gerechtere Gesellschaft ermöglichen wird.
