framework and evaluates the opportunities and constraints facing
South Asia's states within the context of democracy. Key features
include: An introduction to the region. The history and political
development of these South Asian states, including evaluations of
their democratic trajectories. The management of conflict, economic
development, and extremist threats. A comparative analysis of the
states. Projections concerning democracy taking into consideration
the opportunities and constraints facing these countries. This
textbook will be an indispensable teaching tool for courses on
South Asia. It includes pedagogical features such as political
chronologies, political party descriptions, text boxes, a glossary,
and suggestions for further reading. Written in an accessible style
and by experts on South Asian politics, it offers students of South
Asian politics a valuable introduction to an exceedingly diverse
region.
This book analyzes the evolution and impact of the concept of risk
on processes of transnational banking and financial market
regulation, as well as the externalities generated by speculative
financial activity in developing and emerging market economies. The
author provides an alternative theory for the study of
international financial market regulation by applying elements of a
post-structural methodology to the topic. Inspired by Michel
Foucault's framework of critical discourse analysis in The History
of Sexuality, the argument dissects the rules of formation that
govern the evolving discourse on risk. The author argues that the
mathematically formal technology of risk emerges from within
specific institutions and economic formations; thereby limiting its
utility in the regulation of global financial markets. Exploring
how the applied technology of risk has been implicated for fueling
a major financial crisis, his work also demonstrates how the
regulation of global financial markets and abstruse financial
instruments in advanced industrialized countries impacts the lives
of the poorest people in developing countries and emerging markets.

A modern reframing of Friedrich Hayek’s most famous work for the
21st century. Friedrich Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom was both an
intellectual milestone and a source of political division, spurring
fiery debates around capitalism and its discontents. In the ensuing
discord, Hayek’s true message was lost: liberalism is a thing to
be protected above all else, and its alternatives are perilous. In
Liberalism’s Last Man, Vikash Yadav revives the core of Hayek’s
famed work to map today’s primary political anxiety: the tenuous
state of liberal meritocratic capitalism—particularly in North
America, Europe, and Asia—in the face of strengthening
political-capitalist powers like China, Vietnam, and Singapore. As
open societies struggle to match the economic productivity of
authoritarian-capitalist economies, the promises of a meritocracy
fade; Yadav channels Hayek to articulate how liberalism’s moral
backbone is its greatest defense against repressive social
structures.
