Discover ‘When Ideas Matter’, a groundbreaking book from The Bookish Owl that challenges conventional political science. While external interests like votes and rents often explain elite decisions, this compelling read delves into how ideas shape political behavior, especially during credibility crises like anti-corruption movements. Exploring democratic governments in developing nations, the author reveals how concepts of nationhood and development diagnoses critically influence policymaking. Drawing on extensive archival research and over 120 elite interviews in India and similar contexts, this book offers fresh insights into the origin, selection, and impact of ideas on executive action. An essential read for scholars in international relations, American politics, and development economics.
