The central problem of this volumes is structures around the debates of local problems and global resolutions among other fascinating negotiations between the dynamics that have provoked the ideology of Globalization and even Glocalization. This edited anthology is expected to contribute new knowledge and facilitate innovative research to better understand the interactions and interplay between the local and the global. The new debates on human rights worldwide center around the multiple politics of empowerment and identities. Civil liberties and human rights constitute the critical polemic that happens to inform current globalizations debates. The dynamics of neo-institutionalism and neo-liberalism also impinge upon the metaphors of Empowerment, gender and inclusive Growth in an era when one the hand barriers are collapsing only to create new obstacles to the emancipation of the self. The Orientalism discourse is also especially relevant in this connection, as the polyphony of new discourses often engage in serious tussles with emergent signifiers and signifieds. The problematique of this book project is structured around the polemic of civil societal institutions (networks and embeddedness) and democratic governance (Inclusive growth and participatory development) among other critical areas of social scientific research. This edited anthology would contribute new knowledge and facilitate innovative research to better understand the interactions and interplay between actors and their institutions. The politics of everyday life and human development are generally informed by the dynamics of choice and the strategies of cooperation. This tension can be somewhat resolved by adopting the social capital approach, as inclusive growth can more often than one be ensured by empowered choices and delegated actions. This highlights the importance of issues and concerns related to social capital, poverty, globalization and human rights in all our grand as well as small narratives today in a world where economic signifiers and their signified meanings are more or less in a state of constant flux provoked by the marketplace of politics and the social as well as cultural rhetoric of glocalization. These volumes would be of interest to Social Scientists, policy-makers, Government Officials, Think Tanks, Civil Society Organizations and common readers.
