DESCRIPTION
The book is a well-documented and pioneering research work on various dynamics of election politics in Manipur. It provides a narrative as well as analytical profile of Assembly elections since 1952 with a special emphasis on the latest one held on 2007 which delivered a decisive mandate for a change; change for development and stability, which had been elusive for 40 years. It presents an eloquent assessment of the political economy of the state which has bearing on the political process in the state. It outlines the important issues which needed adequate attention of the contestants and parties, highlights the alliances that some of the political parties forged, focuses on the nature of campaign, magnitude of pre- and post-violence and analyzes the poll results. The conclusion chapter puts forward a philosophical interpretation of election politics in the state which could be relevant to any other insurgency-infested states in India.
