{"product_id":"9789386457356","title":"Strategic Stability in South Asia: Challenges and Implications for India","description":"\u003cp\u003eSouth Asia one of the most populous, densely populated and volatile regions in the world remains in a state of ‘Unpleasant Stability’. Despite rich historical, cultural and political linkages, the region has embarrassingly poor mutual understanding and hence integration. While the failure of South Asia’s desired evolution as a cohesive region can be attributed to several factors ranging from terrorism, strained bilateral relations and the absence of military and strategic cooperation; India’s own engagement in the region has been found wanting, even though it has evolved over the years. A reinvigorated South Asia has the potential to vastly improve the lives of its 1.7 billion citizens – nearly one-fourth of all humanity – particularly India, the largest country of the region. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is an important and valuable contribution as it attempts to bring under one volume a holistic understanding of the concept of strategic stability in South Asia; opportunities and challenges in the present geopolitical and geo-economic environment; to include rise of religious fundamentalism, strategic alliances \/ emerging partnerships between countries of the region and extra regional powers. It also analyses and puts forth recommendations for India’s own rise, peace and stability a ‘sine qua non’ for India to retain its pre–eminence in South Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vij Books India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059922977008,"sku":"9789386457356","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789386457356_p0.jpg?v=1763675922","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789386457356","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
