SUMMARY: Do Regimes Matter? Comparing the Politics of Rights-Based Activism
  in India and China
DESCRIPTION: This presentation addresses these questions by examining the p
 olitics of rights-based legal activism from the era of Indira Gandhi and De
 ng Xiaoping to Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping.
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h4>Abstract</h4><p>What explains the growth 
 of rights-based activism\, particularly through appeals to the courts\, law
 \, and constitutionalism\, in India and China? How are these various rights
  justified\, conceptualized\, and pursued by state actors and social forces
  in terms of their moral imaginaries\, political strategies\, and social re
 pertoires? Why have many prominent rights-based struggles in India and Chin
 a simultaneously demanded greater transparency\, responsiveness\, and accou
 ntability from the state? What are their successes and failures to date? Fi
 nally\, does the trajectory of these developments underscore the importance
  of regime-level differences or their declining significance? This presenta
 tion addresses these questions by examining the politics of rights-based le
 gal activism from the era of Indira Gandhi and Deng Xiaoping to Narendra Mo
 di and Xi Jinping.</p><p>Talk is by Dr. Sanjay Ruparelia.</p><h2><a href="h
