Book Description
This thesis consists of three independent chapters. The first chapter examines the strategic choices of the targets and the intensity of violence by rebel groups. The chapter presents a theoretical framework that links a rebel group's targeting decisions to income shocks. It highlights that this relationship depends on the structure of the rebels' tax base. The hypotheses from the model are tested in the context of India's Naxalite conflict. The second chapter estimates the impact of military recruitment on human capital accumulation in colonial Punjab. In this context, I find that higher military recruitment was associated with increased literacy at the district-religion level. The final chapter presents a model that describes the optimal design of civil-military institutions in a setting where some control of the military over domestic politics is deemed desirable.

Book Description
The second essay investigates the impact of introducing village committee elections on the Communist Party's rule. This essay addresses this issue by examining the impact of electoral competition on village cadres' ties with the Party. I focus on two types of ties: village committee chairs' affiliation with Party branch and village cadres' Party membership. Using village and household survey data collected from 48 villages from 1995--2002, I find that introducing competitive elections tended to remove incumbents. Winners are less likely to belong to Party branches. Exploiting exogenous variations in the timing of implementation, I also find evidence suggesting that, although more non-Party members became cadres when competitive elections were first introduced, they are more likely to join the Party later on. It suggests that the Party may accommodate the new political forces by recruitment while elections prompt pluralization of power at village level.

Book Description
This book brings together fourteen articles and papers written by Albert O. Hirschman. About half deal with the interaction of economic development with politics and ideology, the area in which Hirschman perhaps has made most noted contributions. Among these papers are 'The Rise and Declines of Development Economics', a magisterial and yet pointed essay in intellectual history and his famous article 'The Changing Tolerance for Income Inequality in the Course of Economic Development'. Hirschman's ability to trespass - or rather his inability not to trespass - from one social science to another and beyond is the unifying characteristic of the volume. Authoritative, searching surveys alternate here with essays presenting some of Hirschman's characteristic inventions, for instance the 'tunnel effect' and 'obituary-improving activities'. Three of the papers have not been published previously and a number of introductory notes have been especially drafted for the present volume to evoke the intellectual-political climate in which certain groups of essays were written.
