This book provides a micro-historical analysis of the emergence and
contemporary dynamics of recent ethnic sub-nationalist insurgencies
in South Asia. Using comparative case studies, it discusses the
causes of each insurgency, analyses the trajectory and dynamics of
each including attempts at resolution, and highlights the wider
theories of ethno-nationalist insurgency and mobilization. Bringing
together an international group of contributors, the book covers
insurgencies in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
It questions why ethnic sub-nationalist insurgencies occurred at
particular points in time and not at others, and explores the
comparative trajectories of these movements. The book goes on to
discern reappearing patterns of conflict escalation/de-escalation
through the method of comparative process-tracing. It argues that
while identity is a necessary factor for insurgency, it is not a
sufficient one. Instead, ethnic mobilization and insurgency only
emerge when it is activated by tension emerging from political
competition between ethnic and central state elites. These
elite-led dynamics, when combined with favourable socio-economic
and political conditions, make the ethnic masses primed to accept
the often symbolically-rich appeals from their leaders to mobilize
against the central state. Providing an important study on
ethno-nationalist insurgencies in South Asia, the book will be of
interest to those working in the fields of South Asian Politics,
Security Studies and Ethnic Conflict.
