Book Synopsis Internal Conflict and Regional Security in South Asia by : Shiva Hari Dahal
Download or read book Internal Conflict and Regional Security in South Asia written by Shiva Hari Dahal and published by United Nations Publications UNIDIR. This book was released on 2003 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Asia region is one of the most populous and ethnically diverse in the world, but its social, political and economic development has been severely hindered by numerous inter-state and intra-state conflicts. This paper seeks to provide a more effective multidimensional framework for the analysis and management of internal conflict and security issues in this region, through the establishment of 'Peace Commissions'. These bodies could operate at national and regional levels in a similar manner to a human rights commission in order to establish effective institutional mechanisms to resolve social and political differences and so avoid violent conflict.

Book Synopsis Civil Wars in South Asia by : Aparna Sundar
Download or read book Civil Wars in South Asia written by Aparna Sundar and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Asia has become the site of major civil or internal wars, with both domestic and global consequences. The conflict in Kashmir, for example, continues to make headlines, while those in the Northeast and central India simmer, though relatively unnoticed. There appears to be no clear resolution to the civil war and occupation in Afghanistan, even as Nepal and Sri Lanka work out their very different post-war settlements. In Bangladesh, the war of 1971 remains a political fault line, as the events around the War Crimes Tribunal show. This volume demonstrates the importance of South Asia as a region to deepening the study of civil wars and armed conflicts and, simultaneously, illustrates how civil wars open up questions of sovereignty, citizenship and state contours. By engaging these broader theoretical debates, in a field largely dominated by security studies and comparative politics, it contributes to the study of civil wars, political sociology, anthropology and political theory. This volume is one of the few books that is genuinely and equally representative of scholarship across South Asia, contributing not just to the study of civil wars, but also to the study of South Asia as a region.

Book Synopsis Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2011 by : D. Suba Chandran
Download or read book Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2011 written by D. Suba Chandran and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Terrorism and Low Intensity Conflict in South Asian Region by : Omprakash Mishra
Download or read book Terrorism and Low Intensity Conflict in South Asian Region written by Omprakash Mishra and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorism and low intensity conflicts are not new in South Asia but the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the United States suddenly gave the events a new dimension. From regional considerations, terrorism acquired global connotation and in this changed perspective, South Asian terrorism and low intensity conflicts needed to be explored afresh. The geographical region covered by the book includes predominantly the member countries of SAARC, Afghanistan and Myanmar, as also specific case studies including a few instances of terrorist activities from beyond the region. The papers analyse the societal, political and economic factors responsible for the rise and salience of terrorism; the challenges posed by terrorism and low intensity conflict on peace, stability and security of the nation-states and people; the international, regional and national regime against terrorism and perpetrators of mass violence; the motives, ideologies, strategies and activities of various non-state armed groups in South Asia; and thereby contribute toward meaningful policy options in tackling terrorism and activities of armed groups.
Book Synopsis Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2012 by : D. Suba Chandran
Download or read book Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2012 written by D. Suba Chandran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixth in the annual series, this volume examines the major trends in armed conflicts in South Asia during 2011, efforts towards conflict management undertaken by the State and their effectiveness, as also the road ahead. While focusing on the burning issues within the region, the volume looks into two important aspects of the conflict situation: conflict alert and peace audit. In providing critical policy recommendations to the State, the former anticipates early warning regarding an impending conflict and its potential transformation. The latter assesses the status of ceasefires and peace processes adopted by the respective countries. The volume highlights the causes of armed conflicts in South Asia so as to facilitate concrete peace processes. In addition to essays addressing armed conflicts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Myanmar, it includes a special section entitled 'Peace Audit'. This segment reviews and evaluates specific peace efforts undertaken in Jammu and Kashmir, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Northeast India, measures their successes and failures, and discusses the lessons that may be learnt from them. Further, it studies the nature of these peace processes, their effectiveness and the dangers of conflict relapse.
Book Synopsis Armed Militias of South Asia by : Christophe Jaffrelot
Download or read book Armed Militias of South Asia written by Christophe Jaffrelot and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There seems to be no end to the growing number of victims of civil war, terrorism, guerrilla warfare and military repression on the Indian subcontinent, despite the absence of interstate wars over the past ten years. These conflicts often involve armed paramilitary militias or insurgents of one sort or other, and it is their ideology, sociology and strategies that the contributors to this book investigate. Whether based on ideological motives--such as the Maoists and Naxalites in Nepal and India--or invested with a fundamentalist religious mission--the Hindu nationalist Bajrang Dal in India, the Sunni SSP in Pakistan, or Islamist militias in Bangladesh--all these movements use violence to exercise social control, challenge the authority of the state and impose their own particular worldview. Although they seek also to undermine the state, depriving it of the monopoly on legitimate violence that it supposedly holds, governments are equally adept at exploiting them to make them serve their own ends. For the authorities, these movements can be useful tools for their pursuit of both moral and social order. However delegating power to such groups for short term political gains can be an extremely risky enterprise, as demonstrated by Indira Gadhi's patronage of the Sikh militant group that later assassinated her. Armed Militas of South Asia is the first comprehensive book of its sort and will be required reading for all those interested in the politics of the subcontinent and Myanmar.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Armed Conflicts on Women in South Asia by : Ava Shrestha
Download or read book The Impact of Armed Conflicts on Women in South Asia written by Ava Shrestha and published by Manohar Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book exposes the different ways in which violent conflicts increase patriarchal controls on women and the impact of militarisation on women and men, on masculinities and femininities. In all the societies and communities under discussion in the five countries, the authors point to the different ways in which women react and respond to the conflict. They become victims of various acts of repression and abuse. The book exposes that even armed militant women choose to respond to violence with violence. On the other side militants' mothers respond to violence with non-violent means of political agitation. The authors articulate a general position on the need to redefine democracy within the South Asian context, in a way which recognises minority rights and acknowledges the nature of all South Asian states as multicultural and multinational. Within this overarching framework, the authors see women's involvement in militancy and in peace building as enabling a new construction of democracy, human rights and citizenship. The need for a re conceptualisation of security to mean human security and peace with justice, rights and equality is both advocated and emphasised. In this process, the authors address the need to begin to de-construct the exercise of masculinist power in its different forms, especially as played out in war and conflict. Published in association with Regional Centre for Strategic Studies, Colombo.
