The Making and Unmaking of Hegemony

Challenging the more conventional approaches to dislocation and resettlement that are the usual focus of discussion on the topic, this book offers a unique theory of dislocation in the form of primitive accumulation. Interrogating the 'reformist-managerial' and 'radical-movementist' approaches, it historicizes and politicizes the event of dislocation as a moment to usher in capitalism through the medium of development. Such a framework offers alternative avenues to rethinking dislocation and resettlement and indeed the very idea of development. Arguing that dislocation should not be seen as a necessary step towards achieving progress - as it is claimed in the development discourse - the authors show that dislocation emerges as a socio-political constituent of constructing capitalism. This book will be of interest to academics working on Development Studies, especially on issues relating to the political economy of development and globalization.

Dislocation and Resettlement in Development: From Third World to the World of the Third

Dislocation and resettlement in development: From third world to the world of the third

Using a class focused Marxist approach, we elucidate the adopted position of Indian small-scale sector as a devalued other within the adopted development paradigm that accords primacy to Capital and West. In the background of this understanding of small-scale sector, we demonstrate how the New Economic Policy in the era of globalization could be theorized as a tool to obtain the (post) colonial hegemony of capital over the small-scale sector. © The Author 2008.

Rethinking Dislocation and Development

This paper rediscovers Rabindranath Tagore as delivering an innovative understanding of economy and a critique of the mainstream ideas of development and capitalism. Demonstrating that capitalism appears through the logic of development, his intervention finds fault with individualism, income fetishism, progress, capitalist ideological apparatuses and bourgeois subjectivity. In contrast, he lays down an alternative idea(l) of ethical economy founded on the template of cooperation. Tagore's ethical economy is read as pointing toward a communist form of living that is holistic, balanced and responsible. {\textcopyright} 2008, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.

The fundamental challenge before the trade union movement is to find a new discursive space which will allow it to accommodate the reality of diverse labour practices and relate these practices to their created, appropriated and distributed wealth. For this to happen, the authors' provide a theory of labour that incorporates the varied labour practices and the manner in which wealth from these practices are appropriated, distributed and received, thereby widening the imagination of what is possible in trade union practice.

Are the New Economy Stocks Independent of the Economy: A Comparison of USA and India

Marxism and poverty have always lived a contradictory existence, especially in the global South. While socialism/communism's ethical imperative aspires to create a nonexploitative society, poverty eradication has been concerned with overcoming the material threat to people's livelihoods. An exploitation-free world does not necessarily mean the eradication of poverty, while the eradication of poverty does not automatically entail the erasure of exploitative relations. Struggles to eradicate poverty are distributional problems pertaining to the allotment of social surplus, which is also a class question since production surplus originates there. Correcting the injustice of poverty is not simply a distributional question, as most discourses on poverty tend to emphasize. Not only is it also a question of production, but it is very much a class question as well. {\textcopyright} 2008, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.

Revisiting Transition and Development in India

Nowadays we are often told that the third world is dead. This underlies another proposition that, with the third world as the Other disappearing, the Orientalist framework is no longer relevant. We consider the pronounced death of the third world and the implied irrelevance of the Orientalist framework as theoretically weak, premature, and politically counterproductive. With the new global order emerging, the third world gets displaced as its external Other into a new plane. We trace the economic history of India and deconstruct the mainstream Indian development paradigm to reveal this emerging contour of Orientalism. Specifically we attempt to read the economic history of India and its transition through different moments of Orientalism, moments that are distinct but each nevertheless help one space-the West, North, or New Global Order-define itself and protract its superiority by producing an external Other. © Emory Elliott, Jasmine Payne, and Patricia Ploesch, eds., 2007.

This paper disinters the report of the National Commission on Labour to reveal the ideological basis of the changes sought in the labour laws. Changes suggested in the labour laws flow from an understanding of labour that is derived from the perspective of capital. The policy goal of the NCL recommendations is to position labour in a manner that will ensure the expansion of competitive capitalism in India. The article deploys the class-focused Marxist approach to reveal how the NCL attempted to change the meanings of labour, the working day, work culture and indeed that of the labour rights as a whole.
