This book studies how a modern monarchy transformed Bhutan into a
parliamentary democracy. A political ethnography, it focuses on the
historic elections of 2007-2008, and studies democracy and its
transformational processes from the ground up. It draws on
historical as well as contemporary theories about kingship and
regime change to analyse Bhutan's nascent democratic process and
reflect on the direction of political change, both at the state and
local levels in the aftermath of the elections. It also presents
insights into the electoral and political process by giving a
first-hand account of the author's own participation in the
elections and ponders on the larger political implications of this
election for the region. A strong theoretical discussion situated
in robust fieldwork and personal experience, this book will be an
essential read for scholars and researchers of politics, especially
comparative politics and political institutions, South Asian and
Himalayan Studies, political sociology and social anthropology.
