This monograph ties in the scholarly debate on Chinese village elections and their consequences for China’s political system. It draws on comparative fieldwork conducted in six villages in two counties in Jiangxi and Jilin Provinces and one district in Shenzhen between 2002 and 2005, producing data from some 140 in-depth interviews of villagers and local officials up to the prefectural level. The major objective of this book is as much a critical assessment of the research literature of Chinese village elections published over the last fifteen years as to sharpen the reader’s sight for the scope and limits of this important reform to generate regime legitimacy in the local state, an issue which has so far been neglected in the study of Chinese village elections. It hence contributes to our understanding of the nexus between political participation and cadre accountability at the grassroots, and highlights a number of factors ensuring the persistence of one-party rule in contemporary China.

Innovation is increasingly invoked by policy elites and business leaders as vital for tackling global challenges like sustainable development. Often overlooked, however, is the fact that networks of community groups, activists, and researchers have been innovating grassroots solutions for social justice and environmental sustainability for decades. Unencumbered by disciplinary boundaries, policy silos, or institutional logics, these ‘grassroots innovation movements’ identify issues and questions neglected by formal science, technology and innovation organizations. Grassroots solutions arise in unconventional settings through unusual combinations of people, ideas and tools. This book examines six diverse grassroots innovation movements in India, South America and Europe, situating them in their particular dynamic historical contexts. Analysis explains why each movement frames innovation and development differently, resulting in a variety of strategies. The book explores the spaces where each of these movements have grown, or attempted to do so. It critically examines the pathways they have developed for grassroots innovation and the challenges and limitations confronting their approaches. With mounting pressure for social justice in an increasingly unequal world, policy makers are exploring how to foster more inclusive innovation. In this context grassroots experiences take on added significance. This book provides timely and relevant ideas, analysis and recommendations for activists, policy-makers, students and scholars interested in encounters between innovation, development and social movements.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 4 (B), Obafemi Awolowo University (Faculty of Administration), course: Local Government and Development Studies, language: English, abstract: This study examines the effects of empowerment programmes on grassroots development and governmental intervention in Osun State, Nigeria. The study examined the effects of empowerment programmes among the people of Osun from 2010-2020. It also identifies the challenges in the implementation of various policies and programmes for grassroots development in Osun State. The study utilized primary and secondary sources of data. Primary data were sourced through the administration of questionnaire and personal interviews. Secondary data were collected from relevant journals, books, government publications. Frequency tables were used to analyze the data collected. The sample size of this study was one hundred and fifty. The findings showed that the rate of improvement is agreed, when the basic problems of people are solved as a result of the creation of local government and the closeness of grassroots authorities to the people promotes democracy. However, the study discovered that lack of qualified politicians, excessive politicking at the local level, corruption, lack of community participation in the development process, misplaced priorities, poor revenue base of local government, and dearth of high skilled manpower, and lack of autonomy are the challenges confronting grassroots development and governmental intervention in Osun State, Nigeria. The study concludes that the task of grassroots development most especially in Nigeria's fourth republic cannot be achieved by one section of the society. The effort of the government alone cannot solve all the problems, nor can the people solely achieve any level of success. The success, therefore, depends on the combined efforts of the two agents that are; the government and the people who are domiciled at the grassroots.

Drawing on ten years of empirical work and research, analyses of how open development has played out in practice. A decade ago, a significant trend toward openness emerged in international development. "Open development" can describe initiatives as disparate as open government, open health data, open science, open education, and open innovation. The theory was that open systems related to data, science, and innovation would enable more inclusive processes of human development. This volume, drawing on ten years of empirical work and research, analyzes how open development has played out in practice.
