Deviant Democratization in India1
India is not only the world's most populous democracy, it is also a ‘deviant’ democracy. The success of its democratic transition and consolidated democracy has puzzled many scholars of democratization. This paper sets out the grounds for Indian democratic exceptionalism in relation to key explanations of democratization. It goes on to examine the period of democratic transition, and in particular the background to independence, the influence of …
Duverger's Law, Penrose's Power Index and the Unity of the UK
As predicted by Duverger's Law, the UK has had two-party competition for long periods in most electoral districts. However, there are different patterns of two-party competition in different districts and more than two effective parties in the Commons.

This led to considerable difficulty in getting his work published. In particular, his work on a like-minded predecessor, C. L. Dodgson (`Lewis Carroll'), remains in part unpublished. In it, Black withdraws his earlier assertion that …
