Dreamers and Unicorns
Which description fits your organisation? DREAMERS: Most Dreamers or early-stage startups, know how to build products, not organisations. Most Dreamers stay local and never become a Unicorn with a national footprint. UNICORNS: Three curses the Unicorns have to watch for-a narcissistic leader, a leadership team of old cronies and a toxic culture. These prevent them from going global and becoming Market Shapers. MARKET SHAPERS: A Market Shaper changes how we live and work-across countries and cultures. Their challenge is to continuously earn the trust of governments and communities. INCUMBENTS: Many Incumbents were once Market Shapers and Unicorns. The leaders don't know that the firm and its offerings are irrelevant. Not being able to attract and retain talent is a warning bell the leaders often ignore. Packed with ideas and innovations, this powerhouse of a book by best-selling author and talent management specialist Abhijit Bhaduri explains why leadership, talent and culture are the new drivers of growth whether you are a Dreamer, a Unicorn, a Market Shaper or an Incumbent.
Living with the Weather
How does climate change intensify social cleavages in new configurations of knowledge and power? How does development respond to its own contradictions in such scenarios? How do extreme weather events inform population movement and challenge existing definitions of borders and citizenship? Who pays the heaviest price? Living with the Weather addresses these pressing questions by highlighting and exploring the social, economic, political, and spatial dimensions of climate disaster in South Asia. Through empirical research, reporting and documentation of the climate crisis in the countries of South Asia, along with a deep dive into the Indian Sundarbans, the book calls attention to the intermeshed predicaments the people of the subcontinent face while bearing the brunt of climate change In doing so, it seeks to enrich our understanding of how climate change transforms everyday life. It makes visible the effects of natural events, the outcomes of political decisions, how disaster and rehabilitation are interpreted by states, how resistances are staged in the form of mobility, and how dispossession and despair are embodied and articulated.
Seeing the State
Poor people confront the state on an everyday basis all over the world. But how do they see the state, and how are these engagements conducted? This book considers the Indian case where people's accounts, in particular in the countryside, are shaped by a series of encounters that are staged at the local level, and which are also informed by ideas that are circulated by the government and the broader development community. Drawing extensively on fieldwork conducted in eastern India and their broad range of expertise, the authors review a series of key debates in development studies on participation, good governance, and the structuring of political society. They do so with particular reference to the Employment Assurance Scheme and primary education provision. Seeing the State engages with the work of James Scott, James Ferguson and Partha Chatterjee, and offers a new interpretation of the formation of citizenship in South Asia.

Urban Growth and Land Degradation in Developing Cities
The peri-urban interface in poor countries is frequently an area of great dynamism and a focus of competition for basic resources.
