Introduction
Religious communities are among the oldest of the transnationals: Sufi orders, Catholic missionaries, and Buddhist monks carried word and praxis across vast spaces before those places became nation-states or even states. In today's post-modern era, religious communities have become vigorous creators of an emergent transnational civil society. This chapter discusses the implications of transnational religions for conflict and cooperation, for secu…
Transnational Religion and Fading States
Focusing on the dilution of the state sovereignty, this book examines how the crossing of state boundaries by religious movements leads to the formation of transnational civil society. Challenging the assertion that future conflict will be of the "clash of civilizations" variety, it looks to the micro-origins of conflicts, which are as likely to arise between states sharing a religion as between those divided by it and more likely to arise within…
Rajni Kothari’s Career in Political Science
Caste Associations to Identity Politics
The Political Role of India's Caste Associations
IT IS ONE OF THE PARADOXES of Indian politics that India's ancien regime, surely one of the oldest and most deeply rooted in the world, produced no reaction. In three-fifths of India the nationalist middle classes which emerged out of the British colonial experience aimed not only at independence but also at the transformation of Indian society. The Rebellion of i857 is the only historical event in which the old order attempted to preserve itself…
Economics' Fall from Grace
Not long ago, many political scientists suffered from economics envy. Some still do. They view economics as the queen of the social sciences, claiming that it is “scientific,” like physics. Physicists and other natural scientists spend most of their time trying to explain phenomena, but non-behavioral micro-economists spend most of their time on mathematical proofs and econometric tests of a priori theories based on intuitive plausibility or prin…
Susanne Hoeber Rudolph
I'm happy to be the recipient of an award recognizing the work of scholars who deploy literary and experiential resources in pursuit of meaning. And I am delighted that there is a conference-related group institutionalizing this honor. On this auspicious occasion, I thought I would offer a few remarks about my current work
Federalism as State Formation in India
In the master narrative of the formation of the modern state, its unified, monopoly sovereignty is presented as universal, the natural culmination of a teleological process. We challenge the naturalness and universality of that claim by historicizing the sovereignty concept. We do so by examining the history of state formation in late medieval and early modern Europe. When, why and how were sovereignty concepts constructed and contested are quest…
Writing India
The Imperialism of Categories
In February 1957 Lloyd Rudolph and I set forth into the "heat and dust" villages of Thanjavur district, South India, with 10 Indian graduate students from Madras Christian College. Our objective was to conduct a survey on political consciousness. Six hundred urban and rural Tamils scattered across three districts constituted the random sample we had selected from the first electoral rolls of recently freed India. V. O. Key, that witty and groundb…
Le café et l'ashram
Les concepts d’espace public et de société civile sont profondément enracinés dans le monde anglo-américain. Il est néanmoins possible de les transposer dans le contexte indien, où l’ashram gandhien peut en être considéré comme une variante locale. Bien sûr, la dimension religieuse de l’ashram est contraire au rationalisme des Lumières, mais la vertu civique, la recherche du bien commun et d’une société juste mis en avant par Gandhi dans ses ashr…
Engaging Subjective Knowledge
What should count as knowledge in political science? We have tried here to show that subjectivity is valid and useful, that firstperson accounts of experience—‘telling what I know,” narratives of and by the self, partial and contingent truths, and self-asother ethnography—contribute to knowledge. The move to subjective knowledge does not require the abandonment of objectivity. Self-consciousness and reflexivity simply make it possible to render t…
South Asia Faces the Future
Conventional wisdom has it that India is the world's largest democracy, but few have recognized that it is so against the odds. The Indian experience runs against the widely held view that rich societies are much more likely to be democratic than poor ones, and that societies with large minority populations are prone to ethnic cleansing and civil war. Democracy in India, a poor and notoriously diverse country, has succeeded for more than half the…
In Defense of Diverse Forms of Knowledge
The question, “What kind of political science would you like to see in the next 10 years?” raises several problems: Should I consult my self-serving or my communitarian self in framing an answer? Should I say what practices I would prefer? Or should I recommend what directions the profession should take? More generally, should we be talking about the organization of political science? Or should we refer to the profession's current epistemological…

The Role of Theory in Comparative Politics
The Center of International Studies at Princeton University organized a symposium during 1993—94 on the role of theory in comparative politics. Presented here is an edited and condensed version of the proceedings. In light of recent challenges posed by both rational choice and post-modern cultural approaches, the symposium helped elucidate the merits of competing theoretical approaches. A group of distinguished scholars presented a variety of vie…

Presidential Address
The dictionary says that a prolegomenon is "a learned preface or preamble, ... introductory or preliminary observations on the subject of a book." And indeed, the remarks I am about to make are preliminary to a volume on state formation that Lloyd Rudolph and I hope to produce one of these years. Such a prolegomenon is also a commitment to a path of action, a justification, a polemic in favor of what one proposes to do. Today, I want to speak for…

How Can We Get There From Here? Thoughts on the Integration of American and Comparative Politics
The bifurcation of political science into American and comparative politics impoverishes both. The division parochializes them by encapsulating the study of politics within national boundaries. The result is to deprive each of the theoretical contributions generated by the other and to cut them off from the institutional and policy alternatives each has devised. The loss to the study of American politics is probably the more severe because its pr…

Authority and Power in Bureaucratic and Patrimonial Administration
Weber's understanding of bureaucracy, despite substantial qualification and revision, remains the dominant paradigm for the study of administration and formal organizations. We continue the process of revision by accepting his ideal-typical concepts of bureaucratic and patrimonial administration, but subject them to theoretical and historical reinterpretation and application. Our reading of historical change as it relates to bureaucracy leads us …

Barristers and Brahmans in India
You have given India,' Secretary of State Sir Samuel Hoare once told his officers, 'justice such as the East has never known before.' For most Englishmen, having established therule of law' on the Indian subcontinent was probably the proudest achievement of the British raj. They believed that they had substituted legal security for disorder, predictability for uncertainty, and impartiality for whim and nepotism

Consensus and Conflict in Indian Politics
Several hours before his assassination in 1948, Mahatma Gandhi submitted his proposal for revisions in the party constitution of the Indian National Congress. He suggested that the Congress dissolve, since partisanship appeared to him wrong, and convert itself into a Lok Sevak Sangh, an apolitical people's service association. The Congress did not in the event obey the testament, but no one thought the proposal funny or outrageous. More recently,…

Rethinking Secularism
M ZANY FACTORS CONTRIBUTED to Janata's demise just two years after its stunning victory in the 1977 elections. At the ideological level, the principal cause was the party's inability to resolve its orientation toward the meaning and practice of secularism and its perceived opposite, communalism. At the level of intra-party policy, the ideological struggle raised the question of whether or, perhaps, how to allow membership. Should party members be…

Patrimonial politics and administration in princely India from the middle of the nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth century are the subjects of this essay.

The period of the lineage's historical ascendency, a century spanning four generations, is sufficiently long to capture processes of conflict and…

The New Courage
In an era that takes matters of religious faith lightly, it becomes difficult to consider thoughtfully a man who is suspected of saintliness. The task is particularly vexing for Americans, who have no feudal historic memories to remind them that saints were once important people. The obvious solution is to avoid the issue of saintliness altogether—to avoid, for example, questions about whether Gandhi's political shrewdness was compatible with the…

The Modernity of Tradition. Political Development in India
Stressing the variations in meaning of modernity and tradition, this work shows how in India traditional structures and norms have been adapted or transformed to serve the needs of a modernizing society. The persistence of traditional features within modernity, it suggests, answers a need of the human condition. Three areas of Indian life are analyzed: social stratification, charismatic leadership, and law. The authors question whether objective …
