Political Mobilisation and Democracy in India: States of Emergency
ISBN: 9780415423755 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addresses the paradox of political mobilization and the failings of governance in India, with reference to the conflict between secularism and Hindu nationalism, authoritarianism and democracy.

Vernon Hewitt argues that the... This book addresses the paradox of political mobilization and the failings of governance in India, with reference to the conflict between secularis... |

However, in this new book a team of leading experts on Italy uncovers little real progress. Badly needed reforms have foundered on bickering between the parties and their ego-centric leaders. Both left and right-wing coalitions have been guilty of impeding the anti-corruption revolution. Little has been done...
