This book provides an understanding of the challenges in Northeast
India in terms of the nature of flows and ruptures in the daily
lives of people. It brings together multiple and interconnected
issues of identity, development, environment, migration, land
alienation and policy impacts to the forefront. Northeast India’s
history is affected both by internal dynamic processes, as are its
linkages with adjoining countries, marked by a fluid movement of
people and goods across porous borders. The book explores how the
region has emerged as a resource frontier for the global markets,
yet its resource mobilization has led to disparity within the
region. The volume discusses key themes concerning the region such
as the processes of development and people’s resistance;
underdevelopment in the peripheral areas; resource flow and
conflict; community response and local agency; state and customary
practices; politics of land and citizenship; development-induced
dispossession; human mobility, immigration and conflict; the notion
of "outsiders"; inter-state border conflict; and spatial
connections. Rich in empirical data, the volume will be relevant
and useful for students and researchers of development studies,
Northeast India studies, sociology, political science, border and
migration studies, public policy, peace and conflict studies, as
well as practitioners and policymakers.
