520 _aThis 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 book 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 ongoing debate on the Indian party system, this book will attract the attention of students of Indian politics, political science, democracy, party systems, and comparative politics.
