"Separated at Birth: The Social & Institutional Origins of Democracy in India & Autocracy in Pakistan" lecture by Prof. Maya Tudor at Teen Murti House, Teen Murti Marg > 3pm on 26th March 2012
Time : 3:00 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Event Details : The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library cordially invites you to The Seminar on 'Separated at Birth: The Social and Institutional Origins of Democracy in India and Autocracy in Pakistan' by Prof. Maya Tudor, Teaching Fellow in Politics, St. John's College, Oxford University, UK.
Abstract : The presentation explores why India and Pakistan embarked upon divergent regime trajectories in the decade after their twin independences in 1947. Within a decade of independence, India had established itself as a constitutional democracy while Pakistan had descended into autocratic instability - a divergence which neither dominant political science paradigms or historical monographs fully explain. The book I will present argues that the respective independence movements in each country were founded by different social classes who were motivated to create relatively stronger (India) and weaker (Pakistan) political parties. The core argument advanced is that, upon independence, respective party strength critically explains regime stability while respective class interests and the institutionalization of their associated ideologies critically explain regime type.
Speaker : Prof. Maya Tudor is a Fellow at St. John's College at Oxford University. She received her BA in Economics from Stanford University and her MPA and Phd in Politics and Public Policy at Princeton University. Before assuming her current position, she was also a postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Oxford Centre for the Study of Inequality and Democracy and a predoctoral Research Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University. Her book, The Promise of Power, is under contract with Cambridge University Press and scheduled for publication in spring 2013.
