[Not available] Week 6: 29 October 2015 The Politics of Marginality and the Social Sectors in India: Health and Education (Professor Roger Jeffery, Sociology) Public health and the provision of health care in India are characterised by vast inequities – as are indicators of education and the availability of schooling. Obesity, cancer, heart disease and diabetes characterise more than half of the current disease burden and ‘super - speciality’ private health care is readily available in much of the sub-continent. In parallel, communicable diseases (such as TB), maternal and child health issues, malnutrition and the poor state of public health facilities remain serious concerns. And while some children take air-conditioned buses to air-conditioned schools that offer horse-riding, others face single-teacher primary schools with class sizes over 100. Focusing on marginalised groups, this lecture explores what shapes these health and education disparities, with special reference to the transformations of health and education in India since 1980.

Week 7: 5 November 2015 I ndia’s Party System and the State of Indian Democracy (Dr Wilfried Swenden, Politics & IR) In this lecture we set out the main features of the Indian Party system and track its development since Independence. We try to understand and explain the transformation of the Indian party system from a one-party dominant system to a highly fragmented party system. We also pay attention to the rise of state politics and the emergence of the states as the primary arenas for political competition. Finally, we discuss the extent to which the transformation of the Indian party system has altered the functioning of Indian democracy: we argue that although Indian democracy has deepened as a result of the wider participation of its citizens in the electoral process, the lack of internal party democracy, the funding of political parties and the comparative weakness of India’s substantive democracy indicate that there is still considerable room for democratic progress.

This lecture explores India’s changing role on the global stage as an emerging economy and an emerging power. It provides an overview of the rise of the “ BRICS ”
(Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), situating this phenomenon within larger structural changes in the global economy, and analysing the impact of these countries on global politics and global governance. We will focus particular attention on the World Trade Organization (WTO), one of the international forums where India has been most assertive and had the greatest impact. We will also discuss similarities and differences between India and the other BRICS, as well as how to reconcile their increasing economic and political might with the significant development challenges these countries continue to face.
Has India emerged as a major power? Does India – as one of the BRICS – represent an economic development success story?
sm in India’s economic rise?
Given the diversity of these countries, does “ the BRICS ” make sense as an analytical category? As a political grouping? Is the rise of India, or the BRICS, a threat to the liberal international order (i.e., the system of liberal political and economic institutions at the global level)? How should we understand the rise of India and the other BRICS from the perspective of the rest of the developing world? Is India a hero of the developing world?
