Anne VAUGIER-CHATTERJEE - Federalism between Centralization and Decentralization

Pouvoirs n°90 - L’Inde - septembre 1999 - p.25-41

The article surveys the various stages of the development of the Indian Union since 1950. It highlights the original features of a system characterized at once by unifying tendencies and an extreme flexibility. The author tries to show how the dominant position of the Congress Party has long favored centralization and prevented the implementation of decentralizing reforms, and how the recent regionalization of politics has helped to give these reforms a new vitality.
