This book provides a systematic exploration of party system change. By applying the concept of political entrepreneurship and using a detailed case study of the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu, it demonstrates how party leaders can exercise their agency and drive party system change. Recent developments in Tamil politics are taken into account in the light of the literature on party systems, achieving a classification of the party system and revealing patterns of change. The author explains the process of the change by comparing the careers of successful and failed party leaders, thus identifying the factors that enabled some political entrepreneurs to successfully found political parties and contribute to the process of party system change. Examining issues such as regional parties, political entrepreneurship, social change, caste and religious nationalism, the book illustrates the key forces shaping contemporary Indian politics, and presents an example of how the trend toward identity politics and the rising influence of regional political parties are fashioning a new Indian polity. With a broad cross-disciplinary appeal, the book will be of interest to students of South Asian politics, comparative politics, sociology and anthropology.

This set demonstrates the increasing interest among Western people paid to civilisation in the East at the turn of the nineteenth century. Included are Kishio Satomi's studies on Nichiren and Japanese idealism, which were written from an Eastern viewpoint specifically for a Western audience. Also reprinted here is Chamberlain's translation from classical Japanese poetry which offers one of the first known attempts to interpret the literature of the Japanese to the Western world.

First published in 2003, Decentring the Indian Nation examines the various centrifugal forces apparent in recent Indian politics. After achieving independence in 1947 India’s elite opted to build a modern nation-state. This idea was carefully nurtured during the fight for freedom from British rule by the dominant Congress movement. In recent years, the idea of a centralised state has been challenged from a number of directions. Strong regional political movements have questioned the assumption that India’s federal system requires a dominant centre. The related trend of identity-based mobilisation has challenged settled notions of Indian national identity. The authors discuss the idea that as a nation, India is becoming ‘decentred’, and consider the implications of this idea for the development of the Indian polity. This book will be of interest to students of politics, geography and development.

India’s official nationalism has been reshaped under Narendra Modi’s leadership, with national traditions recast to align with his political vision. The modification of existing rituals, introduction of new commemorative events and promotion of museums and historical references in political speeches shape an alternative narrative that legitimizes his administration. Modi’s distinctive political style, emphasising performances and social media output, popularises commemoration and national celebrations.This book critically examines the coherence of such invented traditions, questioning whether they advance the exclusionary ideology of Hindu nationalism or primarily serve Modi’s own political ambitions. It argues that nationalism can be understood as a constructed ideology, shaped by political elites through public rituals, symbols and ceremonies. Although nationalism has long been central to India’s statecraft, the book demonstrates how Modi’s reworking of national traditions reveals limits to his political project.Aimed at academic and postgraduate scholars researching Indian politics and nationalism, as well as scholars in anthropology, geography, sociology and South Asian history, this book offers new insights into the mechanisms of political legitimacy and symbolic power.

Pro Leadership helps aspiring leaders establish their credibility, build their following, and lead with impact. Pro Leadership includes 24 chapters each focus on a pro leadership principle required to be mastered if a leader desires to “go-pro”. The 24 principles were taken from the yellow legal pad Andrew Wyatt kept in the center drawer of his desk during the 24-year history following the founding of his company. Each time he learned a lesson, he would write it on the legal pad. Many books have been written on leadership. Andrew has read many and believes aspiring leaders would benefit from doing the same. After all, leaders are readers. Pro Leadership is not meant to replace any of those; rather Andrew’s hope is to add to an already valuable library. In writing Pro Leadership, he had three goals: To offer a fresh perspective on the vital role of leadersTo help readers change the way they think about leadershipTo inspire, to equip, and to encourage leaders to “go pro”Since Pro Leadership is not a destination, aspiring leaders won’t arrive, unpack, and settle in. Rather, they embark on a journey, requiring them to saddle up and head out. With that in mind, ride on friends!
