India Changing Differences in patterns of patronage and socioeconomic development among the state of India
(2007)Department of Political Science
- Abstract
- Two schematic modes of political mobilization of the electorate, and patterns of patronage, have been historically common in Indian politics; indirect vertical mobilization and broad horizontal mobilization.
This thesis examines the impact of these modes of mobilization on socioeconomic development among the larger states of India. It also attempts to put this impact in relation to other factors.
Those states generally achieving higher levels of socioeconomic development has experienced horizontal mobilization early on, correspondence is however imperfect. In analysis causal linkages studies are presented that claim some causality, but these results are not easily generalized to all states.

This thesis examines the impact of these modes of mobilization on socioeconomic development among the larger states of India. It also attempts to put this impact in relation to other factors.
Those states generally achieving higher levels of socioeconomic development has experienced horizontal mobilization early on, correspondence is however imperfect. In analysis causal linkages studies are presented that claim some causality, but these results are not easily generalized to all states.
The study concludes that economic strength, history of human development, and pursued policy are more important determinants of current socioeconomic development. However the substantial correspondence together with case studies implying a causal linkage is sufficient to state that broad horizontal mobilization has contributed to socioeconomic development.
