Pathways to Power: The Domestic Politics of South Asia

by Anita M. Weiss, Arjun Guneratne, ARJUN GUNERANTE ET AL

Book Overview

Pathways to Power introduces the domestic politics and ongoing transformative social processes of South Asia in their broadest possible context by exploring the interplay between politics, cultural values, and human security that looms large on a daily basis. In a cohesive set of country case studies, the text moves beyond conventional views of South Asia by systematically tracing how identity politics--based on religion, caste, ethnicity, regionalism, and social class--infuses all aspects of social and political life.
