초록
India has unique self-government systems (panchayat and panchayati raj institutions) in rural India and such practices could provide interesting policy implications for non-Indian societies. The post-colonial experience of the working of the decentralized panchayats (village self-government), till the constitution was amended in 1992, had been a mixture of enthusiasm, disenchantment and despair. The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992 contains provision for devolution of powers and responsibilities to the panchayats. It was hoped that this amendment would give it a fresh, new lease of life. Incidentally, it coincided with the introduction of neo-liberal reforms in the 1990s and the onset of a new wave of decentralization in the post-colonial developing country. The experience of the implementation, however, indicated that there were still problems. The key purpose of this paper is to examine India’s unique local self-government institutions (panchayat and panchayati raj institutions) because these institutions could provide useful policy implications for decentralization of other parts of the world including South Korea.
Abstract
India has unique self-government systems (panchayat and panchayati raj institutions) in rural India and such practices could provide interesting policy implications for non-Indian societies. The post-colonial experience of the working of the decentralized panchayats (village self-government), till the constitution was amended in 1992, had been a mixture of enthusiasm, disenchantment and despair. The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992 contains provision for devolution of powers and responsibilities to the panchayats. It was hoped that this amendment would give it a fresh, new lease of life. Incidentally, it coincided with the introduction of neo-liberal reforms in the 1990s and the onset of a new wave of decentralization in the post-colonial developing country. The experience of the implementation, however, indicated that there were still problems. The key purpose of this paper is to examine India’s unique local self-government institutions (panchayat and panchayati raj institutions) because these institutions could provide useful policy implications for decentralization of other parts of the world including South Korea.
