A Technomoral Politics

More about the book

Focusing on the concept of "technomoral politics," this book delves into the complexities of good governance in India, particularly through the lens of a group of activists led by Arvind Kejriwal. It examines how efforts for transparency and accountability can inadvertently foster populist authoritarianism. Through ethnographic insights, the author highlights the contradictions between transparency and bureaucracy, as well as the classed and gendered dynamics within democratic institutions. The work critiques the limits of governance laws in addressing corruption while revealing the broader implications for liberal democracy.
