The literature on fiscal decentralisation in India is few and far between. The collection of papers in this volume written by scholars who have done scholarly works on the theme seeks to fill the gap relating to the state sub-state level fiscal decentralisation in India. While the first paper by Anwar Shah, an internationally known expert on fiscal federalism, provides a general backdrop relating to fiscal decentralisation and macro management, all other papers critically review the various dimensions of fiscal decentralisation emerging in India since the implementation of the 73rd/74th constitutional amendments by the state governments. Two papers focus exclusively on Kerala which has won world-wide acclaim for its innovative initiatives in decentralisation.

M.A. Oommen, Malcolm Adiseshiah Chair Professor, Institute of Social Sciences, New Delhi, is an economist of repute with a rich collection of professional papers and twenty four books to his credit. His latest books include Economic Justice, Globalisation and Quest for Alternatives and an edited volume entitled A Decade of Decentralisation in Kerala: Experience and Lessons.

  • "Professor M.A. Oommen and his colleagues give us an excellent reference book on rural local government finance in India. It is one of a very few studies on this very important subject. This insightful volume is an important addition to the shelf of any student of government finance in India. The contributors to this volume are among the more thoughtful students of local public finance in India."
    - Roy Bahl, Dean Andrew Young School of Policy Studies Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA
  • "This volume edited by Prof. Oommen, is an excellent collection of essays on the issues of fiscal decentralization in India. Democratic decentralization goes beyond mere delegation of powers. In essence, it is the fiscal empowerment of local governments. It has several dimensions such as assignment of expenditure responsibilities, revenue assignment and the transfer system. All these issues are dealt with comprehensively in this volume by the various authors who are well known for their scholarly output. This is truly a pioneering study on democratic decentralization in India."
    - C. Rangarajan, Former Chairman, Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council and formerly Governor Reserve Bank of India
