Inde: l'ere des coalitions

In: Politique étrangère: PE ; revue trimestrielle publiée par l'Institut Français des Relations Internationales, Heft 3, S. 585-595

Abstract

The Congress Party's landslide victory at the 2009 general election should not overshadow the changes that have come about since the earlier stages of its political dominance. Its political stronghold has decreased even though it has benefited from the majority rule electoral system. The Congress Party must now enter coalitions. In a wider sense, the party system itself has evolved, as has the nature of the Indian political elite. Adapted from the source document.
