title: Panchayati Raj in India. The Evolution between 1947 and 1992 creator: Fürstenberg, Kai Fabian subject: ddc-320 subject: 320 Political science description: The main argument of my thesis is that the institutional development of Panchayati Raj between 1947 and 1992 can be analysed as an evolutionary process in the Darwinian sense. I base this on the conjecture that Evolutionary Institutionalism (EI) is the appropriate theoretical approach to do this. The argument is investigated based on two research questions: Can I arrive at the outcome of 1992 if I trace the developments as an institutional evolution from an EI perspective? Is the outcome inevitable? date: 2015 type: Dissertation type: info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/18464/1/Panchayati%20Raj%20in%20India_The%20Evolution%20between%201947%20and%201992.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00018464 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-184645 identifier: Fürstenberg, Kai Fabian (2015) Panchayati Raj in India.
