Download or read book The Dynamics of Indian Political Factions written by Mary C. Carras and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study constitutes an analysis of factionalism between rival groups in the dominant Congress Party in Maharashtra. The principal question examined is whether a politician's decision to oppose or 'rebel against' party authority is determined or can be predicted by certain characteristics of the individual concerned and his environment (e.g. the amount of land he owns, or the level of education, urbanization, prosperity, etc., of the area in which he operates politically). About 160 Congress Party members on four district councils were interviewed, and their answers provided the main source of information for the analysis. The legally defined jurisdiction of the district councils is rural Maharashtra, and the political factions examined thus operate in a rural milieu.

This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most influential works in the history of political theory, Aristotle's Politics is a treatise in practical philosophy, intended to inform legislators and to create the conditions for virtuous and self-sufficient lives for the citizens of a state. In this Companion, distinguished scholars offer new perspectives on the work and its themes. After an opening exploration of the relation between Aristotle's ethics and his politics, the central chapters follow the sequence of the eight books of the Politics, taking up questions such as the role of reason in legitimizing rule, the common good, justice, slavery, private property, citizenship, democracy and deliberation, unity, conflict, law and authority, and education. The closing chapters discuss the interaction between Aristotle's political thought and contemporary democratic theory. The volume will provide a valuable resource for those studying ancient philosophy, classics, and the history of political thought.
Download or read book Why Regional Parties written by Adam Ziegfeld and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book State Politics in India written by Himanshu Roy and published by Ratna Sagar. This book was released on 2017 with total page 919 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade of the nineteenth century witnessed, for the first time, the demand for a federal polity premised on the principle of linguistic provinces. The regional Chambers of Commerce in the Telugu, Bengali and Tamil linguistic regions were the first to put forth such a demand before the Congress and the colonial state. The Indian National Congress agreed to it in 1920 and reorganized provincial Congress organizations, which had been earlier based on politico-administrative boundaries of the British Indian provinces, on linguistic lines under a new party constitution under Gandhi's influence. However, once it came to power at the Centre in 1947 the national Congress leadership changed its stand. In 1953, under the pressure of a mass upsurge, the Nehru government was compelled to set up a State Reorganisation Commission to consider the question of the creation of linguistic states. In the past 63 years, several works have been published on the theme of 'state politics', but most writers have concentrated on electoral politics. This book, however, discusses different aspects of politics in the 27 states and 2 Union Territories with legislative assemblies (with some minor omissions which are regretted). For example, it analyses the different social structures, levels of economic development, landholding patterns, party systems, voting behaviour, political culture and governance and politics of each state. It discusses their internal dynamics which are influenced by the size of the population, demography, territory and topography, economy, and the power structure of the different classes and communities. The book also takes into account the commonalities across the boundaries at both, the micro and the macro levels, such as the expansion and intensification of capitalist social relations into the innermost areas, breakdown of old structures and social mores, emergence of civil society, development of administrative transparency, growth of alternative party systems and the linkages of each state/region with the nation and global capital. The liberalization of economy over the last few decades has accelerated the growth of commonalities across the states through a growing uniformity of production processes and consumer culture.

Download or read book Factional Politics in Rural India written by Padma Charan Mishra and published by Discovery Publishing House (India). This book was released on 2000 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Factional politics, undoubtedly, constitutes a very significant area as well as a pervasive theme in contemporary social science. Factionalism, a growing phenomenon in Indian government and politics, has not only of late, assumed new dimensions but also infected almost all organizations including political parties, interest group, pressure groups, trade unions, voluntary association etc. It is quite disheartening and distressing to observe that even village community and its government and politics are largely as well as deeply affected and afflicted by this all-pervading evil that has spread its tentacles to eat away the very vitals of the Indian rural society. It has assumed so much of importance and significance that it has attracted the attention of social scientists, policy-makers and administrators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book Is One Of The Few Full-Length Studies Of The Members Of A Legislative Assembly. It Deals With The Members Of The Iv Legislative Assembly In Rajasthan, One Of The 22 States Of The Indian Union, Which, Though With A Feudal Background, Has Been Struggling Its Way To A Modern Democratic Order. The Data For The Study Was Collected During 1970-71 And Covers 130 Of The 184 Members Of The Legislative Assembly. The Study Aims At Finding Out The Role Of The Legislative Elite In The Democratizing Process. The Specific Foci Of Enquiry Are The Socio-Economic And Political Background Of The Legislators, Their Political Values And Orientation And Their Role Images. What Distinguishes This Study From Other Studies Of The Legislative Elite Is An Effort To Investigate Intothe Pattern Of Constituency Linkage Which The Legislative Elite Develop In Their Own Enlightened Self-Interest. The Key Finding Of The Study Is That The Constituents Look Upon Their Representatives Primarily As Agents Of Local Development Which In Turn Becomes The Basis Of Their Legitimacy And Re-Election. The Author Has Also Tried To Probe Into The Patterns Of Socialisation That Have Gone Into The Making Of The Political Mind Of The Legislators In The State. The Study Brings Out That Till The Iv Assembly At Least National Movement Had Been One Of The Most Important Socialising Agents, Though Some Departures From This Trend Have Also Been Noticeable, Which Have A Portent For The Future. Altogether The Prsent Study, Which Is A Revised Version Of Authbor'S Ph.D. Thesis, Provides Meaningful Insights Into The Structure Of The Political Elite And The Political Process In The State. It Should Serve As A Useful Basis For Future Studies Particularly For Comparative Purposes.

Download or read book Dalit Politics in Contemporary India written by Sambaiah Gundimeda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a ground-breaking intervention on Dalit politics in India. Challenging received ideas, it uses a comparative framework to understand Dalit mobilisations for political power, social equality and justice. The monograph traces the emergence of Dalit consciousness and its different strands in north and south India — from colonial to contemporary times — and interrogates key notions and events. These include: the debate regarding core themes such as the Hindu–Muslim cleavage in the north and caste in the south; the extent to which Dalits and other backward castes (OBC) base their anti-Brahminism on similar ideologies; and why Dalits in Uttar Pradesh (north India) succeeded in gaining power while they did not do so in the region of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh (south India), where Dalit consciousness is more evolved. Drawing on archival material, fieldwork and case studies, this volume puts forward an insightful and incisive analysis. It will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of Dalit studies and social exclusion, Indian politics and sociology.
