Abstract
Three principal factors have militated against the emergence of stable political formations in India in the decade of the 1990s: the surviva l of many forms of private economic power which have their bases in la ndlordism in the villages and controllers of real estate in the cities ; the failure of bourgeois hegemony with a national project to win ove r contending projects; and the influence of international capital or i nternationalised domestic capital on political decisions.
