An unexpected result? The Indian Election of 2014
IAPS will host (made possible by generous support from the Political Studies Association) an event to assess the Indian election of 2014. This will be held on the 3rd July 2014 from 9.30am. Several of the contributors to the #Indiavotes2014 blog, as well as many others, will give their considered analysis of the campaign and the results, but also look forward to what these results mean for the world’s largest democracy.
Registration is free, but please register with ailsa.mitchell@nottingham.ac.uk by the 25th June 2014 for catering purposes.
