This
presentation will review the author’s recent research which tries to
understand how democratic elections can coexist with a significant
number of politicians implicated in criminal wrongdoing. Specifically,
it explores three questions. Why do parties nominate candidates with
criminal backgrounds? Why do voters vote for them? And what does their
proliferation mean for democratic accountability? To address these
questions, the author draws on a wide body of quantitative and
qualitative evidence from India.
Looking forward to seeing you at the session.
