A sweeping and theoretically original analysis of the
India-Pakistan rivalry from 1947 to the present. Since their mutual
independence in 1947, India and Pakistan have been engaged in a
fierce rivalry. Even today, both rivals continue to devote enormous
resources to their military competition even as they face other
pressing challenges at home and abroad. Why and when do rival
states pursue conflict or cooperation? In The Difficult Politics of
Peace, Christopher Clary provides a systematic examination of
war-making and peace-building in the India-Pakistan rivalry from
1947 to the present. Drawing upon new evidence from recently
declassified documents and policymaker interviews, the book traces
India and Pakistan's complex history to explain patterns in their
enduring rivalry and argues that domestic politics have often
overshadowed strategic interests. It shows that Pakistan's
dangerous civil-military relationship and India's fractious
coalition politics have frequently stymied leaders that attempted
to build a more durable peace between the South Asian rivals. In so
doing, Clary offers a revised understanding of the causes of war
and peace that brings difficult and sometimes dangerous domestic
politics to the forefront.
