Imagining Industan: Overcoming Water Insecurity in the Indus Basin
International Conflict over Water Resources in Himalayan Asia
The authors explore the fresh water crisis of Himalayan Asia. While the region hosts some of the world's mightiest rivers, it is also home to rapidly modernizing, increasingly affluent, and demographi
Fixing Fractured Nations
Asia's rising power and wealth offer its many oppressed ethnic minorities hope for greater political freedom and an end to violence. But the reality of this hope is cast into doubt by acute separatist
Ethnic Separatism: An Introduction
The modern system of sovereign states that was ushered in by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 has had as one of its central tenets the territorial integrity of states. There is irony in the fact, therefore, that another of its central tenets, acquired in more recent centuries, has attached equal importance to the requirement of correspondence between the territorial state and the nation. Since the nation has typically been understood in terms of a…
In India's Lengthening Shadow: The U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Alliance and the War in Afghanistan
This article examines the impact of India's growing involvement with the Muslim countries in Pakistan's neighborhood—Iran, the Central Asian republics, and Afghanistan—on the contemporary U.S.-Pakistan strategic alliance, in particular the cooperation of these two allies in waging the war in Afghanistan. Driven largely by its need for expanded access to the region's energy resources, India has been moving rapidly to cement its ties with these cou…
Hydro-Politics in South Asia: The Domestic Roots of Interstate River Rivalry
Intrastate or domestic circumstances are as important as interstate circumstances in impeding South Asia's progress toward a more cooperative model of river resource management. Three domestic impediments to interstate river resource cooperation must be highlighted: first, the scale of national river resource problems, requirements, and development plans; second, the inefficiencies associated with irrigation use of water resources; and third, str…
Unholy Alliance: Religion and Political Violence in South Asia
In an informal discussion I had not long ago on the Kashmir conflict, the assertion was made to me: ‘There is no jihad in Kashmir’.1 The comment, atypical though it certainly was, would still not h

Pakistan's Security in the “New World Order”: Going from Bad to Worse
The arms gap (conventional and nuclear) between Pakistan and India is as wide as ever, and chances are it will grow wider yet. * Pakistan's internal stability and political unity are being seriously eroded by intensifying ethnic and sectarian strife, such as that which is turning Karachi, the country's principal port and industrial hub, into a global emblem of uncontrolled violence and lawlessness
The Saffron Surge in Indian Politics: Hindu Nationalism and the Future of Secularism
Sn Sn this essay we consider the implications for India's secular tradition of the mounting political success of India's right-wing Hindu nationalist movement, in particular the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). We note in our examination of electoral data that the BJP's strength in the national parliament (Lok Sabha) rose from 2 in 1984 to 119 in 1991, and that following two waves of state legislative elections, ending in April 1995, the BJP is now …

Contemporary Problems of Pakistan
Ethnicity and Political Reform in Pakistan
resident resident Zia ul-Haq's lifting of martial law in Pakistan at the end of 1985 was clearly welcomed by the vast majority of Pakistanis. It ended the third and lengthiest period of direct military rule in the country's little more than forty-year history, voided some of the more oppressive restrictions on the country's civil and political life, and formally set the country once again upon the path toward representative government. It did not…

Dilemmas in the United States–Pakistan Security Relationship
For fiscal year 1984, the Reagan administration requested congressional approval of security assistance programs amounting to almost $5.8 billion for twenty-two of the forty littoral states of the Indian Ocean.
