Publisher: New Delhi Cambridge University Press 2018Description: x, 175p.ISBN: 9781108423892.Subject(s): Peace -- Building -- India -- Jammu and Kashmir | Conflict management -- India -- Jammu and Kashmir | Jammu and Kashmir -- Politics and government -- 21st centuryDDC classification: 327.17209546 Summary: The book examines the intersections of political violence, deprivation and conflict, and explores the prospects of its management by studying one of the world's most complex political turmoils - Kashmir. It closely investigates the vertical aspect of the conflict, in which the Indian state and a section of Kashmiris are engaged in a turbulent relationship, and explores ways to stimulate conflict management. By employing the protracted social conflict theory, the author argues that a conflict between a state and a social group ensues when the political elite fails to address the non-material needs of the marginalized. By documenting narratives of the Kashmiri traders and the state officials, and the impact of the opening of the two intra-Kashmir trade routes during the 1990s, this book emphasizes the need to focus on peace initiatives taken by the government, and the significance of accommodation and engagement to address a state-people conflict.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
