Poor people confront the state on an everyday basis all over the world. But how do they see the state? This book considers the Indian example where people's accounts, in particular in the countryside, are shaped by encounters staged at the local level, and are also informed by ideas circulated by the government and the broader development community. Drawing extensively on fieldwork conducted in eastern India, the authors review a series of key debates in development studies on participation, good governance, and the structuring of political society in South Asia.

- Focuses on South Asia, but looks broadly and analytically across a range of disciplines, including development studies, sociology, anthropology and history
- Engagingly written by four of the leading figures in their fields for students, scholars and professionals
