India's Search for Power
Author: Surjit Mansingh
Publisher: SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
India's Search for Power is a scholarly and analytic assessment of Indira Gandhi's foreign policy during her two tenures in power (1966-77 and 1980 to date). Dr Mansingh has provided a well balanced and comprehensive account of the structure and effects of her foreign policy which goes a long way to becoming the definitive study of the subject. In his foreword Selig Harrison described the book as 'a significant contribution to the literature on South Asia, one that will be of enduring interest to students of India's foreign policy as well as to those interested in the larger problems of relations between developed and developing countries.' Surjit Mansingh first examines Indira Gandhi's foreign policy legacy, and the way in which she modified it. Major foreign policy objectives, and the instruments at Mrs Gandhi's disposal in achieving those ends are also outlined. In the final chapter the book examines Mrs Gandhi's economic diplomacy and India's relationship with institutions such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the EEC.

Trends in Outside Support for Insurgent Movements
Author: Daniel Byman
Publisher: Rand Corporation
ISBN: 0833032321
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
The most useful forms of outside support for an insurgent movement include safe havens, financial support, political backing, and direct military assistance. Because states are able to provide all of these types of assistance, their support has had a profound impact on the effectiveness of many rebel movements since the end of the Cold War. However, state support is no longer the only, or indeed necessarily the most important, game in town. Diasporas have played a particularly important role in sustaining several strong insurgencies. More rarely, refugees, guerrilla groups, or other types of non-state supporters play a significant role in creating or sustaining an insurgency, offering fighters, training, or other forms of assistance. This report assesses post-Cold War trends in external support for insurgent movements. It describes the frequency that states, diasporas, refugees, and other non-state actors back guerrilla movements. It also assesses the motivations of these actors and which types of support matter most. This book concludes by assessing the implications for analysts of insurgent movements.

Tamils and the Nation
Author: Madurika Rasaratnam
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780190498320
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Why are relations between politically mobilised ethnic identities and the nation-state sometimes peaceful and at other times fraught and violent? Madurika Rasaratnam's book sets out a novel answer to this key puzzle in world politics through a detailed comparative study of the starkly divergent trajectories of the 'Tamil question' in India and Sri Lanka from the colonial era to the present day. Whilst Tamil and national identities have peaceably harmonised in India, in Sri Lanka these have come into escalating and violent contradiction, leading to three decades of armed conflict and simmering antagonism since the war's brutal end in 2009. Tracing these differing outcomes to distinct and contingent patterns of political contestation and mobilisation in the two states, Rasaratnam shows how, whilst emerging from comparable conditions and similar historical experiences, these have produced very different interactions between evolving Tamil and national identities, constituting in India a nation-state inclusive of the Tamils, and in Sri Lanka a hierarchical Sinhala-Buddhist national and state order hostile to Tamils' political claims. Locating these dynamics within changing international contexts, she also shows how these once largely separate patterns of national-Tamil politics, and Tamil diaspora mobilisation, are increasingly interwoven in the post-war internationalisation of Sri Lanka's ethnic crisis.
