Summary

This book deals with two regional and temporal contexts and a political phenomenon pertinent to these contexts that most often have ranked as "unique' or "paradoxical' in scholarly assessments. The author sheds light on the party systems of India and South Africa by departing from the conventional paths of party system theory and from the relativist assessments of the countries' political systems by a comparison of the two contexts' party systems with a distinct focus on the role of party agency in the shaping and maintenance of one-party-dominance and on the role of the two party systems as independent variables.
