Description

The study of Indian politics has witnessed a dramatic revival worldwide in the last few decades.

There have been significant developments in national politics since 2014 with the advent of the single-party majority government of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the first such majority since 1984.

Moreover, the results of the 17th Lok Sabha (Lower House) election in India in 2019 have had major implications for the party system in India.

In the light of these developments, The Oxford Handbook of Indian Politics provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the state of contemporary Indian politics.

To that end, it examines the evolution of core institutions, processes, policies, and associated issues that are being debated in India's politics.

It also provides historical contexts, discusses the state of the extant literature in each issue area, and suggests avenues for future research.

The contributors to this volume are all noted scholars and researchers in their respective fields of specialization located both in India and around the world.

The major topics covered include the Constitution, citizenship, the houses of Parliament, the Cabinet, the judiciary, federalism and local governments, elections, parties and coalitions, secularism and minorities, caste, gender and migration, political violence, political finance, political economy, and foreign and defence policies.

In effect, The Oxford Handbook of Indian Politics offers scholars, analysts, and students a sweeping overview of the current landscape of Indian politics, with particular attention to issues that have emerged over the past decade.
