Description

India-Pakistan rivalry remains one of the most enduring and unresolved conflicts of our times. It began with the birth of the two states in 1947, and it has continued ever since, with the periodic resumption of wars and crises. The conflict has affected every dimension of interstate and societal relations between the two countries and, despite occasional peace initiatives, shows no signs of abating. This volume brings together leading experts in international relations theory and comparative politics to explain the persistence of this rivalry. Their analysis offers possible conditions under which the rivalry could be terminated.
- A pioneering, comprehensive and rigorous study of the enduring conflict between India and Pakistan
- By a team of experts who combine empirical and theoretical material to analyse the nature of the conflict and why it has proved so intractable
- An important and topical subject, which will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners

Reviews & endorsements
“Paul’s edited book is a contribution to the political complexity of the enduring rivalry between India and Pakistan. It is particularly useful to those individuals who seek peace and stability in the subcontinent and adjacent regions. It deserves to be read, studied and pondered, and its proposals tried.”
Garth N. Jones, Journal of Third World Studies
