Papers by Markus Pauli
The research in this edited volume analyses central questions in South Asian politics and political science. It identifies new, emerging areas of research. The book entails both general political theory and context-specific case studies. The research combines area-specific expertise with theory-driven, generalizable insights.
It is a homage to Subrata K. Mitra, the eminent political scientist and scholar of South Asia. It showcases the work of his mentors, colleagues and friends – all leading academics:
Bhattacharyya, Harihar
Political Parties and Democracy in South Asia: The CPI-M in India’s Liberal Democracy

From Exoticism to Postcolonial Art: Theorizing and Politicizing Art in the Age of Globalisation
We discuss and propose the notion of hybridity as a heuristic device. And we assess the following givens and problems in 'mainstream' political theories of citizenship. (1) The inherent linearity of the historical narrative underpinning the storyline of citizenship. (2) The implicit assumptions of methodological nationalism in framing the unit of analysis. (3) The challenge of incorporating differentiation and variation; into a concept that has been conceived as watertight and fixed. In our case study of citizenship in modern India, we draw attention to the entanglement between citizenship and endogenous ideas of self-hood.
Citizenship is a crucial interface between the state and society. It is a fundamental building block of political order. Why was India more successful than other post-colonial states in providing the bases of citizenship? The political, legal as well as moral bases. We see India's success in turning subjects (and rebels) into citizens as a function of political institutions, processes and memory. These institutional arrangements draw both on the modern state and traditional society. In the process, they create a 'hybrid state'.
The findings of a large-N survey on the perception of citizenship in India are presented. Our cumulative index of citizenship comprises measures for self-definition, perceived own empowerment, and an appraisal of citizen responsibilities. It highlights the role of gender, caste, and place of residence for citizenship. We argue that citizen-making is not a teleological process. But rather a strategy from which hybrid categories emerge. These must be socially meaningful and morally accessible to the individual if citizenship is to be resilient. We conclude with a discussion of hybridisation as a process and product. Hybridisation illuminates the strength of indigenous ideas suitable to a particular society. And their relation to national, regional and local values and power structures.
In our paper, we identify the promises and premises behind Modi-nomics. We take stock of claims and criticism, drawing on comparative development statistics to discuss a much-lauded but also highly contested ‘success’ story. To assess whether Modi-nomics is guiding policy we draw upon Douglas North’s new institutionalism. In addition, we use a sociological understanding of institutions to argue that a central component of Modi-nomics is to achieve economic change by altering perceptions and images as well as policy. However, Modi- nomics remains highly contested within India’s domestic political arena and has unleashed other political entrepreneurs drawing on politics of entitlement (the Patel agitation) or religious sensibilities (the beef ban controversy). To gain resilience, Modi-nomics will have to combine ideational and institutional change and to reconcile the tensions arising in the process.
Books by Markus Pauli
“Statecraft and Foreign Policy is a tour de force that will define how we think of India in global politics for decades to come!”
Prof Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, New York University, USA
“The authors have done the almost impossible – they have provided a synopsis of the most important phases, relationships, and issues that mark the country’s policies beyond its borders”.
Prof Kanti Bajpai, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore
“A sweeping overview….narrating policy development and diplomatic actions. Incisive, balanced, and insightful”.
Kisan S. Rana, Former Indian Ambassador
“This book offers a wide compass of Indian foreign policy that assesses change and continuity across different periods...Each chapter provides a synoptic assessment including additional readings making it an excellent reference that brings analysis of foreign policy-to-date.”
Prof Aseema Sinha, Claremount McKenna College, USA
The book has three main sections, focusing on the evolution of India’s foreign policy after Independence, its transformation after the Cold War and as India’s economic and political power grew, and India’s engagement with major powers (like the US, China and Russia), neighbouring countries, and international institutions. The analysis draws on International Relations Theory, Foreign Policy Analysis, and the work of classic Indian thinkers like Kautilya. It combines evaluating domestic and international influences on India’s statecraft and foreign policy.
The authors introduce a ‘toolbox’ for studying the making and the outcomes of Foreign Policy based on an analysis of interests, perceptions, and values. This analytical framework goes beyond the Indian case study and can be applied to International Relations, Comparative Politics, and Foreign Policy Analysis.
