Political Parties and the State in the Global South : State-Building, Corruption and Party System Change, Hardback Book

Political Parties and the State in the Global South : State-Building, Corruption and Party System Change Hardback

Part of the Routledge Studies on Political Parties and Party Systems series

Hardback

Description

This book introduces a new framework for understanding how the relationship between political parties and the state shapes the development of political parties, party systems, and democratic consolidation. Drawing on comparative case studies spanning the Indian subcontinent, Africa, and East and Southeast Asia, the book shows how the sequencing of state-building and the development of political institutions can blur distinctions between political parties and the state with long-term consequences for their respective development.

This includes understanding the effects of authoritarian and colonial legacies on shaping this relationship and the nature of interparty competition with significant consequences for public sector corruption, political stability, and the formation and institutionalisation of party systems. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of democratic development, comparative politics, party politics, and institutional development in the Global South.
