Synopsis

This book investigates the factors that led to the breakdown of democracy and the rise of violent separatism in Jammu and Kashmir in the 1980's and how the risk of a large scale war has grown in South Asia in the 1990's. The book should be of interest to researchers and students of South Asian studies, political science, and conflict studies as it makes use of theories of causes of conflicts and democratic development, in combination with in-depth case-study research.
