title: Voters, Institutions and Governance: A Theory and Evidence from the Indian Elections in 2004 creator: Sarangi, Prakash subject: 320 subject: 320 Political science description: This paper is a preliminary attempt to understand a simple puzzle about the Indian voter: Why does a voter vote for party X or Y in an election? What parameters does s/he use to evaluate parties and their policies? Or, does s/he look at the parties through the lenses of other cultural institutions? How does s/he calculate the payoff to the society and/or to herself/himself in this momentous action? This author was amazed by the absence any substantive studies on the subject. date: 2007 type: Working paper type: info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/7174/1/SarangiGovernanceSubm_final.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00007174 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-71747 identifier: Sarangi, Prakash (2007) Voters, Institutions and Governance: A Theory and Evidence from the Indian Elections in 2004.
