Kommentar
This course seeks to examine transformations in the South Asian regional sub-system since independence by paying attention to conflict and security issues and their impact at global level. It provides an introduction of theoretical strands in International Relations in order to contextualise the field of study and discuses conceptualizations emerging from regional traditions such as the case of non-alignment. The course examines the role of India as a hegemonic power, the nuclear issue and the Kashmir dispute in relation to their impact on international security. Moreover, it addresses the question of continuity and change by paying attention to societal aspects and democratization processes. The class will also explore how transnational processes are shaping our understanding of areas, regions, and subsystems with a particular reference to South Asia. The course is intended for students of International Relations and other social science disciplines with and interest to gain an understanding of political issues of contemporary South Asia and with a particular emphasis on the study of transformations.
