This book explains how to bring about institutional change and foster
new institutional structures (institution building) by resolving power
inequities in a rural ecosystem in India, and advocates the
identification of an appropriate institutional champion to make this
happen. The book develops a power-asymmetry-based framework and argues
that a champion with the right attributes and the 'ability’ to
'convene' people over a social issue can only succeed if he/she can
resolve or reduce the deep-rooted societal power asymmetries within
that community. It also presents four case studies that indicate how
such social change is typically spread over a long period of time.
