China introduced new policies to restructure local politics in 1978. In place of communes, civil society organizations and cooperatives were introduced in villages. More changes came about with the introduction of the \u003cem\u003eOrganic Law of the Villagers' Committees of the People's Republic of China\u003c\/em\u003e in 1998. The new local power structure includes state-sponsored institutions like Villagers Committees and the traditional civil society organizations (CSOs) and non-government organizations (NGOs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs in China, local politics in India has undergone considerable changes over the last few decades. Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) were reformed in 1992 with a constitutional amendment act, enabling CSOs and NGOs to function more freely. Against this background, the book aims to present and compare two different models of local politics and development. This comparative perspective on China and India offers valuable insights for scholars of rural governance, rural transformation, and the role of grassroots CSOs and NGOs in shaping development programs in Asia's two most populous countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCivil Society Organizations in China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransformations of the Civil Society Organizations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCivil Society Organizations and the State\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocal Power Structure in an Indian State\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCivil Society Organizations in West Bengal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author \/ Editor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiyiyu\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Public Administration and Director of the Comparative Research Centre, School of Law and Politics, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, China.
