South Asia in a Changing International Order

This book explores the consequences for South Asia of the end of the Cold War, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the socialist bloc. The author focuses on three main themes: the impact of the disengagement of extra-regional powers on both interstate and intrastate conflicts in South Asia; the implications of the creation of an integrated European market for the economies of South Asian states; and the increasing marginalization of South Asia in the post-Cold War order.
