Abstract:-
  Many countries have constitutionalized their emergency rules. In this
  presentation, we look into the determinants of institutionalizing
  emergency provisions, the reasons for declaring states of emergencies
  and into their effects. Focusing on India, we identify the determinants
  that help explain the use of the so-called President’s Rule.

All are cordially invited.
