Why Regional Parties?
Author: Adam Ziegfeld
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316539008
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Today, regional parties in India win nearly as many votes as national parties. In Why Regional Parties?, Professor Adam Ziegfeld questions the conventional wisdom that regional parties in India are electorally successful because they harness popular grievances and benefit from strong regional identities. He draws on a wide range of quantitative and qualitative evidence from over eighteen months of field research to demonstrate that regional parties are, in actuality, successful because they represent expedient options for office-seeking politicians. By focusing on clientelism, coalition government, and state-level factional alignments, Ziegfeld explains why politicians in India find membership in a regional party appealing. He therefore accounts for the remarkable success of India's regional parties and, in doing so, outlines how party systems take root and evolve in democracies where patronage, vote buying, and machine politics are common.

Party System in India
Author: Ajay K Mehra
Publisher: Lancer Publishers LLC
ISBN: 1935501674
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
India’s party system has been under flux, transformation and reconfiguration since the end of the 1980s. By the time the sun set on the twentieth century, the party system in India had developed a plurality of national and regional levels and following several experiences in fits and starts, coalition making among the parties too stabilized at the national level. The dawn of twenty first century thus witnessed a federalized party system in place, where coalition making and cohabitation amongst the parties stabilized at both national and regional levels. As a result, since 1999 India has had two completing governments completing their full term at the national level; the third, UPA II, has completed four years, and despite hiccups is likely to complete its full term till mid-2013. However, the party system in the country has turned competitive and several trajectories of alternation are being attempted by parties and leaders, making the emerging political situation fluid. The volume attempts to capture the emerging trajectories of the party system in India in the second decade of the twenty first century with seventeen essays written specially for this volume by scholars who met several times to discuss and formulate questions and critique each other’s drafts. Overall, the volume provides an incisive and comprehensive analysis of the far-reaching changes that India’s political parties and party system are undergoing. It looks into the institutional dimensions, processes and agenda, federal manifestations, transitions (including generational change) and extraneous influences brought in by globalization, Indian Diaspora and the impact of new media technology. Constituting an important contribution to the on-going debate on the Indian party system, this volume will attract the attention of students of Indian politics, political science, democracy, party systems and comparative politics.

Regional Reflections
Author: Rob Jenkins
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : India
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This book provides an important comparative analysis of how Indian federalism and Indian democracy operate within the states of the union. The volume brings together the writings of highly respected scholars in politics each of who examine a distinct analytical problem from the perspective of a two-state comparison. The book deals with four key areas of Indian democracy economic policymaking, subaltern politicization, civic engagement, and political leadership. The subject matter ranges from the reasons why markedly different institutional inheritances and patterns of sociopolitical change in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka nevertheless produced such similar party and electoral systems, to an explanation for the differing levels of communal violence in Uttar Pradesh and Kerala. The answers to these and other questions are both illuminating about the nature of democratic practice in contemporary India and instructive about questions of how and on what scale to apply the comparative me thod. It thus sheds light on the nature of democratic practice in contemporary India and provides a useful guide to how comparative analysis, within the confines of a single nation-state, can contribute to the study of political change Contributors include Loraine Kennedy, Aseema Sinha, Sanjay Kumar, Christophe Jaffrelot, Jasmine Zerinini-Brotel, Ashutosh Varshney, Rob Jenkins, James Manor, and Mukulika Banerjee
