About this book

This introductory textbook gives students an overview of the social, political and economic institutions of six South Asian states, namely Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. It uses democracy as a prism for assessing the opportunities and constraints these states face, and it traces the democratic trajectory of each.

The book covers the history and development of the states, how these states handle conflict, economic development and extremist threats, and a comparative analysis of the region. It closes by considering how democracy might fare given the challenges ahead. The chapters are the work of specialists in each country and are written plainly for students.

Teaching aids include political chronologies, descriptions of political parties, text boxes, a glossary and reading suggestions.ISBN-13 9780367187590.
