The roots of participatory democracydemocratic communists in SouthAfrica and Kerala, India /[electronic resource] :Michelle Williams. - 1st ed. - New York, N.Y. :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - xxii, 215 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [183]-202) and index.

Introduction : hegemonic and counter-hegemonic generative politics -- Communist renewal and ideological convergence -- The counter-hegemonic politics of the CPI(M) -- The hegemonic politics of the SACP -- Partycapacities in historical perspective -- Organizational faultlines -- Party and class under electoral politics -- Conclusion.

A group of women sit under a tree deliberating on what to do about the stagnate water near their homes. Five thousand people march and singstruggle songs as they launch a campaign to transform the banking industry. These are the types of activities usually associated with global social movements in the twenty-first century. Yet surprisingly, behind both these events are communist parties engaging in novel forms of development. The Roots of Participatory Democracy compares the communist parties of Kerala, India and South Africa, revealing the vibrant and unexpected role that modern-day communist parties are sometimes playing in participatory democratic, egalitarian politics. Using an original conceptual framework, Williams shows that political parties have tremendous potential for coordinating the diverse interests in civil society and for forging a coherent political project. The book shows that in the 1990s communist parties in both Kerala and South Africa began to practice a new "generative" politics, in which they engage their ideological foundations as well as their practices of translating these aspirations into reality.
