Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The promotion of ‘inclusive citizenship’, through which the disadvantaged engage in collective struggles for justice and recognition, has been attracting growing attention as a solution to chronic poverty. This paper problematises this formulation by drawing on a case of landless squatters (sukumbasis) in Western Nepal. In this case study, a group of indigenous people were given opportunities, through the allocation of reserved seats and quotas, to participate in a flood mitigation project on a par with dominant villagers. [CPRC WP 96].
