印度议会民主政体下的家族政治

Indian Clan Politics in Parliamentary Democracy Polity

印度被称为最大的议会民主制国家,但由于特殊的历史国情,印度独立后出现家族政治,自1947年到1989年,尼赫鲁家族三代成员担任政府首脑长达38年。2004年及2009年大选,国大党获胜,家族政治仍然发挥着重要作用。家族政治显然与民主制原则相背离,使印度一度出现独裁专制现象,带来深远的消极影响,但家族政治在印度特殊历史环境下也发挥着一定作用。

India is called the largest democracy country.But the clan politics came into being because of special history and national situation.From 1947 to 1989,three generations of Nehru family had been the head of the government for 38 years.The Congress Party won the general elections of 2004 and 2009,and the clan politics still played a big role.The clan politics is clearly contrary to the principle of democracy,it once brought India autocracy,which produced negative effects.But the clan politics also played some role in special history and situation.
