Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
These essays reflect the works of the authors over a period of 50 years since their first visit to India in 1956. They re-emphasize the importance of area studies challenging American parochialism in the social sciences. They challenge the use of statistics to identify universal patterns that underlie economic and political systems. 9/11 reinforced the authors' methods and modes of inquiry. It challenged America's parochialism. It reminded America that it was a part
of a diverse world and that they did not have the means to grasp its complexities.
Long description:
This volume is the second of the three volumes that collect the Rudolphs' life works over a period of fifty years since their first visit to India in 1956. Volume II comprises two parts: Processes of State Formation and Processes of Institutional Change. The five essays in the first section, Processes of State Formation, engage with the processes of state formation in India and provide a larger comparative historical framework in which it can be understood. The eight
essays in the second section, Processes of Institutional Change, span 37 years of India's independent history (1965-2002) in the aftermath of the war with China in 1962, to changes in India's political institutions, and an analysis of a decade of economic reforms in 2002.
