Synopsis

I could do a much better job than them! How do such incompetent people make it in politics?

Well, the fact is, every seemingly incompetent politician has a set of characteristics which makes them, in fact, very capable. The winds are shifting and politics needs young and talented people like you. Learn about why some party workers get a ticket and others don t, what skillsets you need to navigate politics, whether money is more important than the motivation to give back to society and, most importantly, from where one can start. We live in a time of drastically changing political environments and alliances, and What Makes a Politician provides insights into how to enter and thrive in politics, ethically and effectively. Political parties need to rethink their approach to politics and there is indication that several of them are already doing so.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Rwitwika has been at her father's elbow for as long as she can remember. As a politician, his social circle consisted of political leaders: members of the Youth Congress, MPs, MLAs and ministers. Hence, from a young age, she had the opportunity to study Indian politics. Her childhood interests soon turned into a passion as she pursued a degree in political science and economics from Wake Forest University. Eventually she completed a master's degree in Public Policy from Harvard and worked at the World Bank. But her passion for politics pulled her back in and she started a social enterprise, Swaniti Initiative, that supports elected officials (MPs and MLAs) on development issues. Now her work focuses on working with MPs on constituency-level matters. In 2014, she featured in the Forbes India's 30 under 30 list, she has been recognized by the White House as an Emerging Entrepreneur, by the British High Commission as a Young Leader, by the Australian Government as a Young Leader and by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader, amongst other accolades. Politics continues to be her soft spot.
