They are essential for state formation and the intermediation between the state and society. This book is a pioneering attempt to discuss and analyze the complex variations of the party landscape in South Asia. It pays special attention to the evaluation of the role of political parties in the creation of multicultural, pluralist, and democratic societies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributions to this volume come from indigenous authors who bear the necessary contextual knowledge needed to analyze the political parties in South Asia. This work helps explain why analytical concepts can provide explanations in some areas of this subject but fail in others. It also argues that the political parties in South Asia should not be assessed only through criteria taken from western experience. The material in this volume is sure to inform academic debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Subrata Mitra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275968324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275968328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Subrata Mitra","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001120243967,"sku":"9780275968328","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc618fa1-c098-4ace-9178-d70c0cd3620c.jpg?v=1751600123","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-parties-in-south-asia-subrata-mitra-9780275968328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
