This book presents a systematic analysis of the rise and decline of
the Indian National Congress since 1980s, using the frame dominance
to hibernation. The Indian National Congress (INC or Congress
Party) originated in the national movement for India`s freedom and
has since been the centerpiece of post-Independence multiparty
system for nearly four decades. However, the Congress has been
experiencing a phase of serious decline since the 2014 and 2019
General Elections. Analyzing years of political history and
contemporary developments, this volume brings to the fore important
issues and key themes such as, • Evolution of party system in
India, the contemporary dynamics and movements; • Indian National
Congress under Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi; • Ideological and
policy reorientation of the party in 1990s under P. V. Narsimha
Rao; • Revival of mass membership and organizational elections in
the party; • Indian National Congress in the 2000s, under the
leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi; • The 2019 debacle
and change in the leadership. A comprehensive work on the history
of the Congress Party in India, this volume will be an essential
read for scholars and researchers of political science, party
politics, Indian politics, sociology, modern Indian history,
political sociology, public administration, public policy, South
Asian studies, and governance studies.
This book explores hitherto unaddressed dimensions in federalism
studies in India. It traces continuities and changes in Indian
federalism since independence and especially economic
liberalization. Beginning with the 1990s, due to the emergence of
multi-party system, coalition governments, change in judicial
temper and the onset of privatization and globalization in the
economy, there has been a trend towards greater federalization in
India. However, in the context of one-party majority in a coalition
government since 2014, new aspects have emerged in Indian
federalism. The volume engages with several facets of federalism:
administrative federalism; environmental and resource federalism;
changing dynamics of fiscal federalism; and multi-level governance.
With comparative data and case studies across different states of
India, it brings together a range of issues, including Article 356
and its dysfunctions; land acquisition; decentralized governance;
tribal rights; the roles of central and state governments; concerns
regarding Citizenship Amendment Act; recent abrogation of Article
370 and 35 A; Delhi and statehood; climate change; MGNREGA;
implementation of ICDS and the cooperative and competitive nature
of Indian federalism. Comprehensive and topical, this book will be
useful to scholars and researchers of political science,
federalism, comparative federal studies, political studies,
comparative politics, public administration, governance and
development studies. It will also interest policy makers,
bureaucrats, government organizations, NGOs, and civil society
activists.
This book explores new avenues of international research in
comparative federal studies. It re-examines the conceptual tools
and methodologies for understanding federal systems, and the role
of comparative federalism in the dissemination and implementation
of federal concepts. It highlights the influence of comparative
federalism on constitution-making as well as constitutional
reforms. The volume provides innovative and pragmatic perspectives
from both the Global North and the Global South, with case studies
drawn from established federations such as India, Canada,
Australia, and Austria, and emerging federal systems such as Italy
and South Africa. Advocating a combined approach that integrates
modern and traditional theoretical routes with practical insights
and contemporary analyses, it discusses the issues of multilevel
elections and federal governance; coalition governments and
multiparty democracy in parliamentary federal systems, such as
India; minority empowerment; gender budgeting; self-governance;
multinational federalism; unitary states; the nation-state; and
degenerating federalism. It also breaks new ground by looking at
federalism from a gender perspective and deals with tools for
measuring fiscal responsibility, and a social and cultural index. A
tribute to the intellectual legacy of Ronald L. Watts, this volume
will be useful to scholars and researchers of political science,
federalism, comparative federal studies, political studies,
comparative politics, governance, public administration and law,
development studies, South Asian studies, and Global South and
North studies as well policymakers, international government
bodies, research institutes, development experts, and other
organisations working in the area.
