SoSe 14: Politics of Contemporary South Asia
Antìa Mato Bouzas
Comments
The course seeks to provide a general introduction to the contemporary politics and international relations in the South Asian countries. It discusses what characterises South Asia as a region and whether it is possible to discern an emerging South Asian regionalism despite the complex security scenario. The course examines state formation and nation building in India and Pakistan in relation to the process of partition of the subcontinent after 1947 and the general international context of the Cold-War period till present. It also pays attention to the understanding of the main regional state actors, India and Pakistan, in terms of the bilateral dynamics of rivalry that make South Asia one of the conflict-prone zones in the world. In this context, the Kashmir dispute is analysed, not only as a main symbol of India-Pakistan hostility but also as to problematise the complex relation between state, community and identity in the region. close
