dc.description.abstract | This chapter lays out the volume’s documentation of many of the uneven – and unexpected – experiences of mobility transformation as it unfolds as a developmental imperative across vast and complex landscapes of South Asia. Whether journeys become shorter, faster, more treacherous, cheaper, or more costly, questions about ownership, management, access to ‘public goods’, responsibility, and other critical concerns consistently take new shape when expressed through the coming of a new road or transportation network. We posit that roads are fragile political achievements. In response to the sweeping state promises about new mobilities and modernization that highways are purported to deliver, the stories comprising this volume, and outlined in this chapter, speak from other perspectives, such as how political opportunity is routinely met with a measure of public scepticism and at times efficacious protest. | en_US |
