Coalition Politics in India

Oxford India Short Introductions

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Oxford India Short Introduction to Coalition Politics in India starts by tracing the historical roots of this form of politics in the country. By analysing different coalition experiments in India since 1967, the present exercise shall acquaint the reader with a unique form of government in which the role of the pan-Indian political parties-the Congress, and the Bharatiya Janata Party-is as critical as that of the regional parties in its formation. Inview of India's social diversity, coalition, the book argues, is inevitable and thus cannot be wished away as a mere ripple in history.
