The Capability Approach in Practice A New Ethics in Setting Development Agendas

The Capability Approach in Practice A New Ethics in Setting Development Agendas

This book develops a philosophical framework for selecting goals for development purposes. This inclusive and democratic framework integrates a variety of resources including philosophical theory empirical analysis stakeholder deliberations local knowledge and advice from development experts. The author contends that we must provide good reasons and arguments in order to justify a particular development agenda. That is we need to ask why we choose certain kinds of development goals over others why we include certain agents in the selection process and not others and why we select goals through one method rather than another. In response to these questions the author argues that development should aim at expanding people’s capabilities and functionings. Capabilities and functionings—capabilities that have been realized—tell us what people are actually able to do and be with their resources goods and formal freedoms. He advances the view that local stakeholders should have more authority in deciding what a development agenda looks like. This claim to local authority in development can be interpreted both as a claim to political authority and expert authority. Finally the author argues that ad hoc foundational procedural and mixed (multi-stage) methods need to be synthesized in order to select the best capabilities and functionings for development. The Capability Approach in Practice provides a philosophical and systematic approach to setting development agendas. It is an important contribution to the literature on the capability approach and development ethics which will appeal to a broad range of scholars within philosophy and development studies. | The Capability Approach in Practice A New Ethics in Setting Development Agendas

F.D. Ascoli Early Revenue History of Bengal and The Fifth Report 1812

F.D. Ascoli Early Revenue History of Bengal and The Fifth Report 1812

Early Revenue History of Bengal and the Fifth Report 1812 was the outcome of a series of four lectures delivered at the Dacca College by the distinguished Bengali civil servant F. D. Ascoli. It embodies the text of the Fifth Report on the affairs of the East India Company by the Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed with a view to form the charter of 1813 and also careful and detailed summary of the discussions that led up to Lord Cornwallis's Permanent Revenue Settlement of Bengal (including Behar). The condensed arguments of Mr. James Grant Sir John Shore and Lord Cornwallis on the subject of the Permanent Settlement enable us to see the objectives desired for in the Permanent Revenue Settlement. The book also affords valuable glimpses on the methods adopted for carrying out the settlement and working it successfully in the early days when the zamindars themselves did not look upon it as a boon and the sale of estates for arrears were frequent. Ascoli's excellent and dispassionate account of the Company’s difficulties and the unsuccessful remedies that were from time to time applied to meet them disposes of pet theories that are sometimes advanced with regard to the Permanent Settlement. Mr. Ascoli's masterly analysis and partial text of the Fifth Report from the Select Committee 1812 will be of material assistance to students of revenue history in Bengal and of Colonial India generally.
