Abhishek believes that federalism is a good idea. Power should devolve across political levels, and there should be multiple tiers of elected government.
But doesn't federalism make politics more dysfunctional? What kind of federal system is best? And why do states need to be part of a nation at all?
Abhishek Choutagunta is a political economist with a PhD in economics. His research examines India’s federal structure, including his work on “centripetal federalism,” the use of President’s Rule, and how institutional design shapes governance outcomes.
