Paying tribute to a noted scholar by digging deep into the issues
he explored.Long-time Brookings senior fellow Stephen Philip Cohen
was the first American scholar to work in the field of South Asian
security studies. He largely defined the field, trained many of is
leading analysts, and was himself its most experienced and
insightful scholar-practitioner until his death in 2019. This book
of essays by several of his students who have made an impact on the
field, along contributions from academics who knew Cohen well as
well as former students in policy fields, is an intellectual homage
to Cohen. It is also an impressive overview of a number of the
vital questions facing the nations of that region as well as their
neighbors both near and far. Major enduring issues in regional
security include India-Pakistan relations, India-China relations,
conventional forces-and perhaps the most sensitive issue of all,
nuclear weapons. But other important issues remain underexplored,
especially outside the region, and are addressed in this book. They
include Pakistan's political culture, the politics of the
insurgency in Baluchistan, political legitimacy and governance in
India and China, and internal security threats facing Nepal,
Myanmar, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. Governments and societies in
the region have grappled with these issues for decades, sometimes
successfully, sometimes not. To varying degrees, the issues have
important implications for U.S. foreign policy in and beyond South
Asia. Anyone interested in the security of South Asia will be
rewarded with new insights from academics and analysts who address
a wide range of subjects Stephen Philip Cohen covered during his
long and distinguished career.
