It offers a multidimensional perspective, examining how public service delivery impacts human development from both neo-classical and Marxian lenses. Through its chapters, the book explores the various factors that shape this relationship, including the influence of public institutions, social networks, and economic policies on individual well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo enhance the understanding of the subject matter, the book incorporates a balanced mix of macro and micro approaches, providing a comprehensive analysis of development. The analytical discussions are further enriched by case studies and empirical estimates, showcasing the practical applications of the theory and theoretical discourse on human development, community networks, and the successes and challenges of critical public services in the Indian context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe methodology employed in the chapters encompasses a critical survey of existing literature, case studies, field surveys, and the use of econometric techniques and statistical tools for index construction. Contributors to the book are primarily scholars from the field of neo-classical economics, although some intellectuals from the realm of political economy and development studies also contribute their insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven the diverse range of development perspectives presented in the book, it appeals to a wide audience, including students and researchers in development economics, social science, management, as well as development practitioners and policy makers who are interested in understanding how community and public institutions interact to determine access to health, education, and social security services, which ultimately shape the well-being of disadvantaged populations. The lessons and implications drawn from this study are particularly relevant to other emerging economies, particularly those in South Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811695780\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103058686202,"sku":"9789811695780","price":111.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662164310650_book.jpg?v=1662414451","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/in-quest-of-humane-development-human-development-community-networking-and-public-service-delivery-in-india-9789811695780","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
