This user control of social media has important implications in the facet of politics. This research will examine whether and how the increasing use of social media, Facebook in particular, by young adults has an impact on their attitudes and participation patterns in politics. With assembly elections held in Tamil Nadu (the eleventh largest state in India) in the month of April 2011, the political participation of the young adults, and especially their political content- sharing practices on Facebook, was analyzed using online observation and survey methods.

  • The Politics of Pork: Building Schools and Rewarding Voters in Tamil Nadu
    The Politics of Pork: Building Schools and Rewarding Voters in Tamil Nadu Milan Vaishnav and Neelanjan Sircar∗ April 12, 2010 Abstract For the past two decades, the framework of core and swing voters has been the analytical workhorse for the comparative literature on distributive politics. In this paper, we argue for a minimal definition of core and swing that only depends on margin of victory within the constituency. Such a definition allows us evaluate distributional patterns of pork as a function of electoral pressures. We demonstrate these insights using a unique dataset on the patterns of public school construction in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu from 1977-2007. Using multilevel modeling (MLM) statistical techniques with time-series data, we find that there is a spike in school building in the first two years of a new state government consistent with a pattern of "vote rewarding." Furthermore, while there is a general pattern of rewarding core voters, MLM techniques allow us to identify heterogeneous effects across elections. We find that ruling party state legislators target schools in "swing" constituencies when there are a disproportionately large number of close races in the state. Thus, while ruling party politicians might prefer to reward their most ardent supporters, they are constrained by electoral realities. ∗Milan Vaishnav ([email protected]) and Neelanjan Sircar ([email protected]), Department of Political Science, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027. We would like to thank Jeremiah Trinidad for his assistance with the GIS mapping and Sandip Sukhtankar for providing us with the assembly constituency maps.
