[ADRN Issue Briefing] Decoding India’s 2024 National Elections
Commentary·Issue Briefing
Niranjan Sahoo | 2024-04-19
Niranjan Sahoo, Senior Fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, explores the key issues and implications with regard to India’s 2024 national election, whose outcome is a highly likely to be a victory for the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The ruling party’s organized electoral machinery and the weaponization of state instruments against opposition leaders grant asymmetrical advantages for the BJP’s coalition, while opposition parties have formed a coalition to put up a collective fight against the BJP. Amidst the challenges of economic character, welfare populism, which has been a backbone of Modi’s popularity in the last two elections, is once again taking center stage for both the ruling party and the opposition, competitively offering more provision of public goods.

[ADRN Issue Briefing] Post-Elections Analysis: Pakistan’s “New” Political Order Faces a Polycrisis
Commentary·Issue Briefing
Zoha Waseem & Yasser Kureshi | 2024-03-21
Zoha Waseem, Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick, and Yasser Kureshi, Departmental Lecturer at the University of Oxford, argue that the military will remain embedded in Pakistan`s hybrid regime after the February elections. Although public trust in the military has been compromised, politicians remain attached to the military in order to persistently occupy high-profile positions in the government, such as Prime Minister and members of the cabinet. The authors anticipate that the Pakistani regime will face a series of challenges in the event of state repression of civil society’s resistance to military interventions, coupled with an inability to address economic grievances and to suppress opposition stemming from minority groups and separatists.
