520			_a"With a focus on the work of activists, citizens, and state officials, A Technomoral Politics offers an ethnographic account of the contradictions and dangers of good-governance politics in twenty-first-century India. Probing the relationship between transparency and bureaucracy, Aradhana Sharma illuminates the paradoxes, limits, and risks of a system that is meant to spread liberal democratic principles but that also ends up promoting antidemocratic, populist-authoritarian forms of rule"-- _cProvided by publisher.
