Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies have noted geographical variations in support for the communist parties in Kerala. However, practices adopted by communists in Kerala to maintain their dominance in these geographical regions and how residents of these places relate to these practices have not been sufficiently explored. This article, based on field insights from a panchayat in North Kannur investigates party-society links. It is argued that while material factors help link party and voter, these links are complex and do not conform to clientelism or patronage, as conventionally understood. These links are embedded in a local social context which adds elements of mutuality and non-hierarchical interaction between citizens and party. Ideology also conditions party-society linkages.

喀拉拉邦支持共产主义的地方根源

研究注意到喀拉拉邦对共产党的支持存在地域差异。然而，喀拉拉邦共产党人为保持其在这些地理区域的统治地位而采取的做法，以及这些地方的居民如何与这些做法联系起来，尚未得到充分的探讨。本文基于对北坎努尔邦一位村务委员会的实地观察，调查了党与社会的联系。有人认为，虽然物质因素有助于将政党和选民联系起来，但这些联系是复杂的，不符合传统理解的clientelism或赞助。这些联系嵌入在当地的社会背景中，增加了公民和政党之间的相互关系和非等级互动的元素。意识形态也影响着党与社会的联系。
