Why do some ethnic parties succeed in attracting the support of
their target ethnic group while others fail? In a world in which
ethnic parties flourish in both established and emerging
democracies alike, understanding the conditions under which such
parties rise and fall is of critical importance to both political
scientists and policy makers. Drawing on a study of variation in
the performance of ethnic parties in India, this book builds a
theory of ethnic party performance in 'patronage democracies'.
Chandra shows why individual voters and political entrepreneurs in
such democracies condition their strategies not on party ideologies
or policy platforms, but on a headcount of co-ethnics and others
across party personnel and among the electorate.
