Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2011 The Promise and Threat of Transformation

Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2011 The Promise and Threat of Transformation

Fourth in the annual series this volume reviews the transformative changes which have emerged in the armed conflicts in South Asia in 2010 several of these with long and convoluted histories including the conflicts in Jammu & Kashmir northeast India and the Naxalite movement in central India; as also issues of autonomy in Balochistan the FATA region in Pakistan the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh and the Terai foothills in Nepal. The book examines whether armed conflicts have transformed since their inception; or only metamorphosed into the sullen acceptance that could usher future violence. While conflicts in South Asia have been interspersed with peace efforts the book looks at the complex trajectories that such attempts have taken. Specifically it identifies three regions where most significant transformative trends were witnessed in South Asia in 2010: conflict-ridden Sri Lanka Af-Pak and the Naxalite regions of India. | Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2011 The Promise and Threat of Transformation
