Globalisation and People at the Margins: Experiences from the Global South-Special Issue

Globalisation and People at the Margins: Experiences from the Global South Guest Editors: Eswarappa Kasi and Julia Guenther http://www.sagepub.in/repository/binaries/PDFs/SpecialIssue_JDS.pdf; http://jds.sagepub.com/ This JDS special issue on ‘Globalization and People at the Margins’ provides an interdisciplinary examination of the effects of globalization on the dispossessed, the marginal, and the excluded sectors of the population. In general, the articles in this issue reveal that the market-oriented development strategies associated with globalization have adversely affected the livelihoods of India’s marginalized people. The issue also reveals how certain civil society organizations in India have opposed the exploitative and exclusivist forms of development associated with globalization while also advocating a more participatory and people-centric paradigm of development that empowers and gives voice to the marginalized sectors of the population.
