In recent years the world's focus on South Asia has increased
dramatically. With the events of 9/11, the detonation of atomic
weapons by both India and Pakistan, the discovery of an illicit
nuclear proliferation network based in Islamabad, regime change in
an unstable Afghanistan, and the rise of India as an economic
power, global interest in the region has reached perhaps an
all-time high. Leading experts analyze the key strategic,
political, and economic issues touching on South Asia and its role
in the world in the essays that make up this inaugural volume in
the Current History Books Series.
Focusing on modern South Asia, including India, Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, this authoritative volume
provides an overview of the events and trends that have rocked this
increasingly volatile region over the past decade. Edited and with
an introduction by Sumit Ganguly, a leading expert on the region,
this volume provides a critical introduction to South Asia. South
Asia also contains current maps as well as a "Recent Chronology of
Events" that provides a decade's worth of information on the
region, organized by year and by country. This timely and
comprehensive collection of essays provides a definitive account of
modern South Asia.
