Politics and the people in India: modern and historical perspectives

India’s fast growing economic and socio-political importance on the world stage has led to speculation and shifting expectations about how it can and will shape the global order.

This Collection is primarily concerned with showcasing research that surveys Indian politics, both domestically and on the global stage, and the ways in which the world’s largest democracy functions. Historical and contemporary perspectives are welcomed on societal, socio-economic and political phenomena and issues that have occupied - and continue to challenge - the Indian state and society since the passing of the Indian Independence Act in 1947.

Research is particularly invited from those engaged in the following fields: South Asian and Asian studies, political science, development studies, sociology, gender studies, international relations, comparative politics and political theory.

Scholarship that does not connect to these broad objectives will be judged out of scope of the Collection and will instead be considered for the journal’s general section.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions .
