Population Policy-Making in the Shadow of International Actors in India: Rethinking State Accountability,Sovereignty and Citizen

Date of event: 
7 July 2009

The new architecture of "global governance" raises serious problems of accountability due to  the further erosion of the post-colonial state's monopoly over policy-making for its citizens. Non-state actors have increasingly begun to shape the formulation and implementation of soft law and policy. The talk will address the consequences of a proliferation of sub-national and supra-national actors and arena of norm production using empirical material on  shifts in population policy and programmes in India.
