Christiane HURTIG - The Parliamentary System

Pouvoirs n°90 - L’Inde - septembre 1999 - p.111-123

The Indian regime established from the beginning a balance between a parlamentarian and a moderately federalist systems. It has been gradually transformed by the shifting balance of forces between the various powers and by the emergence of a crisis of representation directly or indirectly due to the growing division of the social forces that have entered the competition in the political field. So far, thanks to public opinion support, the established powers have managed to produce mechanisms to correct worrisome drifts. However, given the lack of liberties allowing public opinion to play a role, problems of legitimacy may worsen. Résumé
