South Asia has developed from a group of newly independent
post-Colonial states of at most secondary importance to the wider
world to its current position as a region of central strategic
importance to both global economic development and world peace and
stability.
This Atlas highlights the global significance of South Asia in
relation to economic, geopolitical and strategic interests. It
provides a coherent descriptive and analytical account of the key
elements of the complex societies that make up the region and its
component countries. Illustrated with 80 maps and offering concise
entries on key issues, the book is structured thematically in these
sections:
- South Asia in Global Context
- The Geographical Environment
- The Historical Evolution of Modern South Asia
- Key Issues in Contemporary South Asia
- The Economy
- Defence and Security
- South Asia, its Neighbours and the World.
Designed for use in teaching undergraduate and graduate classes
and seminars in geography, history, economics, anthropology,
international relations, political science and the environment as
well as regional courses on South Asia, this book is also a
comprehensive reference source for libraries and decision makers
focusing on South Asia.
