Party System Change in South India (Routledge Advances in South Asian Studies)

This book provides a systematic exploration of party system change. By applying the concept of political entrepreneurship and using a detailed case study of the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu, it demonstrates how party leaders can exercise their agency and drive party system change. Recent developments in Tamil politics are taken into account in the light of the literature on party systems, achieving a classification of the party system and revealing patterns of change. The author explains the process of the change by comparing the careers of successful and failed party leaders, thus identifying the factors that enabled some political entrepreneurs to successfully found political parties and contribute to the process of party system change. Examining issues such as regional parties, political entrepreneurship, social change, caste and religious nationalism, the book illustrates the key forces shaping contemporary Indian politics, and presents an example of how the trend toward identity politics and the rising influence of regional political parties are fashioning a new Indian polity. With a broad cross-disciplinary appeal, the book will be of interest to students of South Asian politics, comparative politics, sociology and anthropology.

"Monsters exist. What's so hard to understand? The hard part is helping them. If we don't, we're no better." Innocents: the unabashed, direct and accepting among hunters. The Innocent recognize that monsters were once people; that there's a fine line between human and inhumane, and that even hunters can cross it. Innocent's naive? No. Assuming all creatures are evil - that's naive. Hunter Book: Innocents is the third in a new Hunter: The Reckoning series dedicated to the creeds, the character types of the imbued. Learn Innocents' philosophies, motives and ultimate goals in the struggle against the supernatural. Innocents strive for peace. They accept those creatures that are deserving, but are prepared to condemn the remorseless - and all these new powers and tools further the cause. Who said the meek would inherit the Earth?
