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.
