"A well-written introduction to all the politicking that happens within the subcontinent and the gamut of forces that decide its political direction." -- The Kathmandu Post "Through standalone chapters that provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of the political, economic and social trajectories of five countries in the region, [Guneratne and Weiss] provide a digestible yet expansive text for undergraduate education. . . . The authors go out of their way to highlight heterogeneity within the five countries under study. . . . each chapter can stand alone as a broad overview of a particular country. This book will also be a valuable resource for readers looking to contextualize recent events in South Asia from the violent end of the civil war in Sri Lanka to the debate over the constitution in Nepal or resurgence of militant Hindu nationalism in India. . . . In summary, this book makes important strides as a comprehensive text on South Asia. It synthesizes complex political, economic and social trajectories in a wide range of countries to an extent not seen in comparable volumes." -- Studies in Indian Politics "Why do most South Asian politicians face inward, obsessed with their country's domestic politics, religious battles, and caste struggles, when the obvious need is to promote cooperation in the world's least-integrated region? The answers to this question are complex and dealt with in this inside-out view of South Asia, making it an indispensable source for students of the region." --Stephen P. Cohen, The Brookings Institution "The growth of populations and economies in South Asia is making the region's politics ever more relevant to the rest of the world. Yet understanding the complexity and diversity of domestic affairs in South Asia requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. This ambitious volume offers precisely that. Its contributors expertly weave together interpretations of historical and contemporary episodes in each of South Asia's states even as they explore themes common to the entire region." --Daniel S.

Synopsis
Pathways to Power introduces the domestic politics and ongoing transformative social processes of South Asia in their broadest possible context by exploring the interplay between politics, cultural values, and human security that looms large on a daily basis. In a cohesive set of country case studies, the text moves beyond conventional views of South Asia by systematically tracing how identity politics--based on religion, caste, ethnicity, regionalism, and social class--infuses all aspects of social and political life., Pathways to Power introduces the domestic politics of South Asia in their broadest possible context, studying ongoing transformative social processes grounded in cultural forms. In doing so, it reveals the interplay between politics, cultural values, human security, and historical luck. While these are important correlations everywhere, nowhere are they more compelling than in South Asia where such dynamic interchanges loom large on a daily basis. Identity politics--not just of religion but also of caste, ethnicity, regionalism, and social class--infuses all aspects of social and political life in the sub-continent. Recognizing this complex interplay, this volume moves beyond conventional views of South Asian politics as it explicitly weaves the connections between history, culture, and social values into its examination of political life. South Asia is one of the world's most important geopolitical areas and home to nearly one and a half billion people. Although many of the poorest people in the world live in this region, it is home also to a rapidly growing middle class wielding much economic power. India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, together the successor states to the British Indian Empire--the Raj--form the core of South Asia, along with two smaller states on its periphery: landlocked Nepal and the island state of Sri Lanka. Many factors bring together the disparate countries of the region into important engagements with one another, forming an uneasy regional entity. Contributions by: Arjun Guneratne, Christophe Jaffrelot, Pratyoush Onta, Haroun er Rashid, Seira Tamang, Shabnum Tejani, and Anita M. Weiss

- c***9 (20)- Feedback gegeven door koper.Afgelopen maandGeverifieerde aankoopThis seller is AWFUL. They didn't bother to provide tracking info despite the fact that I paid for expedited shipping. While they replied to messages about the status of the item ("shipped"), they never actually engaged with my questions or provided ANY helpful info. It was as if they copied and pasted pre-written info, which was unhelpful, inaccurate, and N/A. The whole process was super frustrating. This seller was rude, useless, and does not care about its customers. Deserves zero stars.
