摘要

摘要:印度正在经历民主倒退吗?鉴于这个国家之前作为一个有缺陷的民主国家的历史，这个问题的答案要求我们仔细区分两种可能性。首先，印度目前的民主状态只是长期民主衰落趋势的延续和高潮。第二，2013年后印度民主衰退的程度和性质与长期趋势明显背离，代表着加速衰退，走向倒退。本文对现有证据进行了评估，发现它支持第二种解释。然后分析了对印度政治家的调查的原始数据，以进一步检验这一结论的有效性，并得出结论，人民党政治家对基本民主价值观和制度的低水平政治支持正在推动印度的倒退。

Why India’s Political Elites Are to Blame

Abstract:Is India experiencing democratic backsliding? Given the country’s prior history as a flawed democracy, the answer to this question requires that we discriminate carefully between two possibilities. First, that the current state of Indian democracy is just the continuation and culmination of a longer trend of democratic decline. Second, that the extent and nature of democratic decline in post-2013 India is a significant rupture from the long-term trend, and represents accelerating decline into backsliding. This evaluates extant evidence and finds it supports the second explanation. It then analyzes original data from a survey of Indian politicians to further examine the validity of this conclusion, and concludes that the low level of political support among BJP politicians for fundamental democratic values and institutions is driving backsliding in India.
