 Taxonomy of State-CSOs Relations in IndiaChapter 9 in Building Sustainable Communities, 2020, pp 171-190 from Springer Abstract: Abstract In the backdrop of liberalization and increasing gap between rich and poor in society, civil society organizations (CSOs) raise the voices of poor and marginalized. The inefficient service delivery and weak community outreach of the state gave legitimacy and acceptance to civil society organizations in India. In a liberal democracy like India, people see them as a ray of hope and alternative to government; however, in the changed scenario government visualizes them as potential partners in development. Hence, state-CSOs relationship has seen tremendous change in the wake of globalization and liberalization. Delineating the trajectory of state-CSOs relationship in different periods, the study tries to analyze the dynamics of interaction in different periods. It also argues how state is withdrawing from various social sector schemes and facilitating the emergence of different forms of CSOs. Accordingly, increasing government funds to CSOs has compromised their autonomy and voluntary character. It has changed the way CSOs used to interact with the state traditionally.
