Despite broadly similar historical and political legacies, India's and Pakistan's regimes diverged radically after independence. In The Promise of Power, Maya Tudor seeks to explain why this occurred through a comparative historical analysis. Drawing on interviews, colonial records and early government documents, Tudor challenges the prevailing explanations of democratization, which attribute political outcomes directly to low levels of economic development and high levels of inequality. Instead, she suggests that the emergence of a stable democracy in India and an unstable autocracy in Pakistan is best explained by the historically-specific interests of the dominant social group which led each independence movement as well as by the varying strength of the political parties which were created to pursue those interests. 0aAuthoritarianism 0aDemocracy 0aIndia 0aPakistan 0aPolitical science403Amazon.comuhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1107032962/chopaconline-20  2ddccBK  c16180d16180  001040708NFICaCIPSbCIPScGENd2015-08-19l0o320.954 TUD 2013pCIPS0002633r2015-08-19w2015-08-19yBK
