This book explores the ways in which non-state actors (NSAs) in
South Asia are involved in securitizing non-traditional security
challenges in the region at the sub-state level. South Asia is the
epicentre of some of the most significant international security
challenges today. Yet, the complexities of the region's security
dynamics remain under-researched. While traditional security
issues, such as inter-state war, border disputes and the threat of
nuclear devastation in South Asia, remain high on the agendas of
policy-makers and academics both within and beyond the region,
scant attention has been paid to non-traditional or 'new' security
challenges. Drawing on various case studies, this work offers an
innovative analysis of how NSAs in South Asia are shaping security
discourses in the region and tackling security challenges at the
sub-state level. Through its critique of securitization theory, the
book calls for a new approach to studying security practices in
South Asia - one which considers NSAs as legitimate security
actors. This book will be of much interest to students of security
studies, Asian security, Asian politics, critical security studies,
and IR in general.
