{"product_id":"ruling-the-margins-prem-kumar-rajaram-9781138286221","title":"Ruling the Margins: Colonial Power and Administrative Rule in the Past and Present","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdministrative rule is a type of rule centered on devising and implementing regulations governing how we live and how we conduct ourselves economically and politically, and sometimes culturally. The principle feature of this type of rule is the important question about how things should be arranged and for what purpose becomes a bureaucratic matter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHistories of the global south are rarely used to explain contemporary political structures or phenomena. This book uses histories of colonial power and colonial state-making to shed light on administrative government as a form of rule. Prem Kumar Rajaram eloquently presents how administrative power is a social process and the authority and terms of rule derived are tenuous, dependent on producing unitary meaning and direction to diverse political, social and economic relationships and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prem Kumar Rajaram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138286222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138286221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Prem Kumar Rajaram","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444030550271,"sku":"9781138286221","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc73996a-bee0-4454-b2ec-cfa5ad82dac5.jpg?v=1777209525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ruling-the-margins-prem-kumar-rajaram-9781138286221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
