Prospects for Peace in South Asia addresses the largely hostile,
often violent relations between India and Pakistan that date from
their independence in 1947. The most persistent conflict between
the two neighboring countries over Kashmir has defied numerous
international attempts at resolution and entered its most dangerous
phase when both India and Pakistan became nuclear powers in 1998.
The struggle over Kashmir is enduringly rooted in national
identity, religion, and human rights. It has also influenced the
politicization of Pakistan's army, religious radicalism, and
nuclearization in both countries. This incisive volume analyzes
these forces, their impact on relations between the two countries,
and alternative roles the United States might play in resolving the
dispute. While acknowledging the risks, the book is optimistic
about peace in South Asia. The key argument is that many of the
domestic concerns (such as territorial integrity in both countries
and civilian-military rapprochment in Pakistan) that were fueling
the conflict have abated.
