Upcoming seminar: Monday, 13 May at 5:30pm
How does public policy reform change the incentives that political entrepreneurs have to distort public policies for their own benefit? This paper considers the introduction in India of rights-based policies, such as the Right to Work, as a new way to create a safety net in rural India and empower beneficiaries through local democratic institutions. India is typically described as a ‘patronage democracy,’ where political parties trade the distribution of benefits for political support typically ahead of elections. Welfare benefits represent an especially attractive target for parties where the majority of citizens are poor and dependent on state aid in some form.
Patronage guaranteed? Public Policy Reform, Political Parties and Partisanship in Rural India
