Rezensionen

"The book Political Communication in Contemporary India edited by Yatindra Singh Sisodia and Pratip Chattopadhyay is a welcome new addition to the body of literature that establishes a connect between Political Communication, Democracy, and Governance in Contemporary India. A collection of fifteen thought-provoking chapters, the volume discusses a wide range of issues from the impact of economic liberalisation to the rise of social media and its implications for political communication in Indian politics. Combining both theoretical frameworks and specific case studies, this volume provides fresh insights into the understanding, working, and dynamics of political communication in the engagement with democracy and governance at the

grassroots level."

Sandeep Shastri, Vice-Chancellor, Jagran Lakecity University, Bhopal and National Coordinator, Lokniti Network, India

"This anthology brings out the salience of 'politics' in comprehending political communication. Anchored in the broad themes of democracy and governance, the chapters show the complex relationship between political institutions and political processes, the state and civil society, and electoral politics and political mobilisations. A collection of well researched and cogently argued chapters, this volume is an important intervention in the field of political communications specifically and political studies in general."

Anupama Roy, Professor, Centre for Political Studies, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India

"An important book on an extremely interesting topic. A must-read for those in the field of political communication. This book will add new knowledge on a subject which is topical and relevant to present-day politics."

Sanjay Kumar, Professor, CSDS, Delhi, India

"In this theoretically dazzling and empirically illuminating volume, Political Communication in Contemporary India, the authors brilliantly and incisively bring back the agency of 'politics' to the centre stage of increasing geographies of fractious social and electoral conflicts in India and elsewhere. Further, this work should go a long way towards reviving the long-dormant field of political socialisation in the disciplines of political science, electoral sociology, and political economy - hugely enlightening and redemptive simultaneously!"

Ashwani Kumar, Professor & Dean, School of Development Studies, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India
