Gill, K.P.S. (Ed.)

Faultlines : Writings on conflict & resolution (Vol.16) - New Delhi Bulwark Books 2005 - 139p.

There appears to have been a secular decline in trends in terrorist and insurgent violence in South Asia since 9/11, but there are dramatic skews in this trend, and there has been a dramatic expansion in the geographical spread of such conflicts. Worse, the spheres of political mismanagement and incompetence, of general lawlessness and criminality, and of sectarian, communal and other collective tensions appear be expanding across much of the region, notwithstanding isolated success stories and dramatic economic and technological transformations in some areas.

The present volume is a small addition to the larger venture that seeks to scrutinize the Byzantine patterns of terrorism and insurgency, as well as the policies and practices to counter these.
