[EAN: 9780804762212], Neubuch, [PU: Stanford University Press], South Asia, which consists of eight states of different sizes and capabilities, is characterized by high levels of insecurity at the inter-state, intra-state, and human level: insecurity that is manifest in both traditional and non-traditional security problems—especially transnational terrorism fuelled by militant religious ideologies.To explain what has caused and contributed to the perpetual insecurity and human suffering in the region, this book engages scholars of international relations, comparative politics, historical sociology, and economic development, among others, to reveal and analyze the key underlying and proximate drivers. It argues that the problems are driven largely by two critical variables: the presence of weak states and weak cooperative interstate norms.Based on this analysis and the conclusions drawn, the book recommends specific policies for making the region secure and for developing the long lasting inter- and intra-state cooperative mechanisms necessary for the perpetuation of that security.A comprehensive assessment of the multifaceted security challenges faced by the South Asian states by linking it to the weak state problem of the region."After being preoccupied with great powers for centuries, we are now attempting to come to grips with weak and failed states and their significance to regional politics. By providing a number of perspectives on weaker states in South Asia, this volume contributes to our improved understanding."—William R. Thompson, Donald A. Rogers Professor of Political Science, Indiana University"Most discussions of South Asia focus on the region's growing strength and promise. This volume performs a valuable service in tempering that optimism. It reminds us that, despite important advances, South Asia remains plagued by insecurity, from the state to the human level. In doing so, the volume makes a useful contribution to regional as well as to broader literatures, drawing lessons that can apply to weak states elsewhere in the world."—S.

After being preoccupied with great powers for centuries, we are now attempting to come to grips with weak and failed states and their significance to regional politics. By providing a number of perspectives on weaker states in South Asia, this volume contributes to our improved understanding.---William R. Thompson, Donald A. Rogers Professor of Political Science, Indiana University "T. V. Paul has brought together a set of regional specialists and international relations scholars to focus on the problems of state capacity and political instability in one of the most neglected regions of the world. The volume addresses an important lacuna in the extant literature and should be of interest to both scholars and policymakers alike."---Sumit Ganguly, Professor of Political Science and Rabindranath Tagore Chair in Indian Cultures and Civilizations, Indiana University "This volume reminds us that, despite important advances, South Asia remains plagued by insecurity, from the state to the human level. In doing so, it makes a useful contribution to regional as well as to broader literatures, drawing lessons that can apply to weak states elsewhere in the world."---S. Paul Kapur, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School South Asia is characterized by high levels of insecurity at the inter-state, intra-state, and human levels. To explain what has caused and contributed to the perpetual insecurity and human suffering in the region, T. V. Paul engages a group of outstanding scholars to reveal and analyze the key underlying and proximate drivers. Based on this analysis and the conclusions drawn, Paul argues that the problems are driven largely by two critical variables: the presence of weak states and weak cooperative interstate norms. He then recommends specific policies for making the region secure and for developing the long lasting inter- and intra-state cooperative mechanisms necessary for the perpetuation of that security.
