About the Book
Electoral politics has become a major field of study in contemporary social sciences. Though India's north eastern states have been keenly observed by journalists, scholars and policy makers because the politics of these states seem to challenge some of the major theories of Indian democratic politics yet serious efforts at electoral analysis of the region have rather been limited. Electoral politics of contemporary north east have been dominated by the issue of ethnic identity. This book closely examines the role of ethnic conflicts in electoral politics of Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura. The present book should be of interest to scholars, journalists and policy makers interested in the study of ethnic conflicts, electoral politics, insurgency and identity politics. It should be an indispensable reference for students of Political Science, Sociology and History.
