This innovative volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the
issues surrounding South Asia's precarious security. Going far
beyond common considerations of border defense and regime, the
contributors rigorously trace the social, economic, and ecological
origins of present antagonisms. Although careful attention is paid
to state military policies in the post-Cold War era-particularly as
governments respond to a growing arms trade and nuclear
proliferation-the authors also explore the far-reaching
implications of environmental degradation and narcotics trafficking
for security in the region, arguing that threats such as these
transcend boundaries and local political regimes. Exposing the
fallacies of purely geopolitical, state-centric models for
considering security issues, the authors highlight the complex
historical interplay between state and unofficial actors. Concrete
applications of their analysis to specific cases-like the Kashmir
dispute between Pakistan and India-demonstrate the importance of
confidence-building measures and the inefficacy of "zero-sum"
approaches to security. Finally, through its dynamic model of
security, this volume offers insights into the emerging
significance of new regional identities and relations in the next
millennium.
