Over the past seven decades and more, political parties have become
an essential feature of the political landscape of the South Asian
subcontinent, serving both as a conduit and product of the
tumultuous change the region has experienced. Yet they have not
been the focus of sustained scholarly attention. This collection
focuses on different aspects of how major parties have been agents
of - and subject to - change in three South Asian states (India,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka), examining some of the apparent paradoxes
of politics in the subcontinent and covering issues such as gender,
religion, patronage, clientelism, political recruitment and
democratic regression. Recurring themes are the importance of
personalities (and the corresponding neglect of
institutionalisation) and the lack of pluralism in intraparty
affairs, factors that render parties and political systems
vulnerable to degeneration. This book was published as a special
issue of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics.
