Business Model of Public- Private Partnerships in India : Governance and Exclusion at the Frontiers of the State in a Globalizing World
One of the key ways of configuring power in modern society has been through the establishment of a conceptual dichotomy between the public and the private spheres of life.1 It can even be argued that the very fundamental basis of modern political forms is hinged on this dichotomy: the State constitutes the realm of public life and governance, while the private sphere is the realm of non-State activities, with a public sphere of civic deliberation, as Habermas most elegantly reminded us,2 mediating between the two. Yet this discursive distinction, whose intellectual genealogies have a particular history, has ceased to be meaningful in many parts of the globalizing world today. In this talk, we intend to interrogate the problems and prospects engendered by this destabilizing of the differences of public and private. We shall do this by interrogating the ways in which the State, in age of neo-liberal globalization, is increasingly taking the private sector into partnership in various spheres of governance and welfare administration.
