This book explores the future of liberalism in India. It moves away from traditional approaches and draws upon resources from other disciplines – those subjects which some might think don’t strictly fall under political science or theory – like anthropology, literature, philosophy — to critically engage with the condition of late capitalist modernity in India. The essays in the volume trace liberalism's journey through modern Indian history to give us a new standpoint to understand current debates and also point to some internal contradictions of Indian liberalism. The volume will be of importance to scholars and researchers of political science, especially political theory, and South Asian studies.

This book explores the formation of contemporary South Asia as a geopolitical metaphor, psycho-cultural concept, and historical trope. It traces the region's colonial past, focusing on the evolution of its semantic and semiotic meanings, particularly through the lens of Michel Foucault's methods of genealogy and archaeology. The book examines how Orientalism and liberalism, key elements of colonial power and epistemology, shaped the conception of modern South Asia. It argues that these discourses were not isolated but intertwined, shaped by Edmund Burke's ideas on imperial rectitude, the utilitarian reform agenda focused on "improvement," and Victorian notions of morality and civility. Through this analysis, the book shows how the British, using the coercive power of colonialism, produced knowledge about India, blending post-Enlightenment values with perceptions of the colonized periphery. This mix of metropolitan ideals and colonial narratives shaped the understanding of South Asia in ways that were deeply ideological and epistemic. Ultimately, the book asserts that the conception of modern South Asia was formed through a complex interplay of colonial knowledge, which sought to frame the region within a distorted, imperial worldview. By mapping this intersection of power, knowledge, and culture, the book provides a critical genealogy of the modern South Asian identity.

In The Liberalism Trap, Menaka Philips identifies a methodological problem in contemporary political theory: preoccupations with liberalism have come to dominate the study of politics. To evaluate the effects of such preoccupations, Philips turns to John Stuart Mill--the so-called paradigmatic liberal. She shows not only that Mill's famed liberal status is habitually substituted for his political arguments, but also that this substitution obscures the role of uncertainty in Mill's political thought. Across his writings on women's emancipation, class reform, and British Empire, Philips recovers the uncertain strategies that inform Mill's politics, offering an innovative account that sets into relief the limits of reading through liberalism.

Medicine Race And Liberalism In British Bengal written by Ishita Pande and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009-12-04 with History categories.
This book focuses on the entwinement of politics and medicine and power and knowledge in India during the age of empire. Using the powerful metaphor of ‘pathology’ - the science of the origin, nature, and course of diseases - the author develops and challenges a burgeoning literature on colonial medicine, moving beyond discussions of state medicine and the control of epidemics to everyday life, to show how medicine was a fundamental ideology of empire. Related to this point, and engaging with postcolonial histories of biopower and modernity, the book highlights the use of this racially grounded medicine in the formulation of modern selves and subjectivities in late colonial India. In tracing the cultural determinants of biological race theory and contextualizing the understanding of race as pathology, the book demonstrates how racialism was compatible with the ideologies and policies of imperial liberalism. Medicine, Race and Liberalism in British Bengal brings together the study of modern South Asia, race theory, colonialism and empire and the history of medicine. It highlights the powerful role played by the idea of ‘pathology’ in the rationalization of imperial liberalism and the subsequent projects of modernity embraced by native experts in Bengal in the ‘long’ nineteenth century.

Uncivil Liberalism studies how ideas of liberty from the colonized South claimed universality in the North. Recovering the political theory of Dadabhai Naoroji, India's pre-eminent liberal, this book offers an original global history of this process by focussing on Naoroji's pre-occupation with social interdependence and civil peace in an age of growing cultural diversity and economic inequality. It shows how Naoroji used political economy to critique British liberalism's incapacity for civil peace by linking periods of communal rioting in colonial Bombay with the Parsi minority's economic decline. He responded by innovating his own liberalism, characterized by labour rights, economic republicanism and social interdependence maintained by freely contracting workers. Significantly, the author draws attention to how Naoroji seeded 'Western' thinkers with his ideas as well as influencing numerous ideologies in colonial and post-colonial India. In doing so, the book offers a compelling argument which reframes Indian 'nationalists' as global thinkers.

How Democracy Survives written by Michael Holm and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-12-26 with Political Science categories.
How Democracy Survives explores how liberal democracy can better adapt to the planetary challenges of our time by evolving beyond the Westphalian paradigm of the nation state. The authors bring perspectives from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, their chapters engaging with the concept of transnational democracy by tracing its development in the past, assessing its performance in the present, and considering its potential for survival in this century and beyond. Coming from a wide array of intellectual disciplines and policymaking backgrounds, the authors share a common conviction that our global institutions—both governments and international organizations—must become more resilient, transparent, and democratically accountable in order to address the cascading political, economic, and social crises of this new epoch, such as climate change, mass migration, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and resurgent authoritarianism. This book will be relevant for courses in international relations and political science, environmental politics, and the preservation of democracy and federalism around the world.

This book sheds new light on the dynamics of the colonial encounter between Britain and India. It highlights how various analytical approaches to this encounter can be creatively mobilised to rethink entanglements of memory and identity emerging from British rule in the subcontinent. This volume reevaluates central, long-standing debates about the historical impact of the British Raj by deviating from hegemonic and top-down civilizational perspectives. It focuses on interactions, relations and underlying meanings of the colonial experience. The narratives of memory, identity and the legacy of the colonial encounter are woven together in a diverse range of essays on subjects such as colonial and nationalist memorials; British, Eurasian, Dalit and Adivasi identities; regional political configurations; and state initiatives and patterns of control. By drawing on empirically rich, regional and chronological historical studies, this book will be essential reading for students and researchers of history, political science, colonial studies, cultural studies and South Asian studies.
