Anthropology and Political Participation
From an anthropological perspective, political participation can be defined as all action that attempts to have part in deciding upon one’s collective circumstances.

Anthropologists consider historically changing ways of how membership in polities is formed and study diverse imaginations of…
The Bureaucratic Production of Difference
Law against the State
This collection of rich, empirically grounded case studies investigates the conditions and consequences of 'juridification' - the use of law by ordinary individuals as a form of protest against 'the state'. Starting from the actual practices of claimants, these case studies address the translation and interpretation of legal norms into local concepts, actions and practices in a way that highlights the social and cultural dynamism and multivocalit…
The Social Life of Anti-Terrorism Laws
This book addresses two developments in the conceptualisation of citizenship that arise from the »war on terror«, namely the re-culturalisation of membership in a polity and the re-moralisation of access to rights.

Charisma and its Underbelly
This chapter discusses the internal structures of the Shiv Sena, and the diffusion of power under the central command. The author describes the figure of the autocratic yet charismatic Bal Thakeray whose control of the party is its most unique feature. Bal Thackeray has advocated that a ‘benevolent dictatorship’ is the most beneficial form of government for India. The use of the family metaphor—with the leader as the patriarch, and the sainiks hi…
