India, Pakistan, and Democracy Solving the Puzzle of Divergent Paths Philip Oldenburg, Columbia University, USA

The question of why some countries have democratic regimes and others do not is a significant issue in comparative politics. This book looks at India and Pakistan, two countries with clearly contrasting political regime histories, and presents an argument on why India is a democracy and Pakistan is not.

Focusing on the specificities and the nuances of each state system, the author examines in detail the balance of authority and power between popular or elected politicians and the state apparatus through substantial historical analysis.

Providing a comparative analysis of the political systems of India and Pakistan as well as a historical overview of the two countries, this textbook constitutes essential reading for students of South Asian History and Politics.

It is a useful and balanced introduction to the politics of India and Pakistan.

Strategic Partnerships in Asia Balancing Without Alliances Vidya Nadkarni, University of San Diego, USA

Religion and Politics in South Asia Edited by Ali Riaz, Illinois State University, USA

Religion and religio-political forces have become potent influences in the domestic politics of many countries irrespective of geographical location, stages of economic growth, and systems of governance. The growing importance of religion as a marker of identity and a tool of political mobilization is reshaping the political landscape in an unprecedented manner, and South Asia, which contains the world’s largest populations of Muslims and Hindus with a significant number of Buddhists, is no exception to this fact.

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the interaction of religion and politics in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Although the specific circumstances of each country are different, in recent decades, religion, religio-political parties, and religious rhetoric have become dominant features of the political scenes in all six countries. The contributors offer a thorough examination of these developments by presenting each country’s political system and the socio-economic environment within which the interactions are taking place. The analysis of the various factors influencing the process of the interactions between religion and politics, and their impact on the lives of the people of the region and global politics constitute the core of the chapters.

This book examines the nature and implications of the increasing interaction among three secondary powers in the world: China, Russia and India. It provides an in-depth analysis of the complex and often contradictory goals underlying their emerging strategic partnerships along with an assessment of the role these partnerships play in the larger regional and global contexts. In particular, it focuses on the important region of Asia/Eurasia, where these countries seek to increase their influence and compete against the prominence of the United States.

Forthcoming in 2011

This book addresses the three most important large-scale transformations that have reshaped India since 1989: the advent of liberal economic reform, the ascendance of Hindu cultural nationalism, and the empowerment of historically subordinate classes through popular democratic mobilizations. Filling a gap in the literature, it describes, explains and assesses the nexus between these central transformations in a rigorous and integrated manner.

An interesting treatment of post-liberalisation analysis of the Indian economy, the book treats political, economic and social aspects of India in the current as well as the historical context since the country’s independence.

Based on empirical findings, the authors offer an idea on how the multilevel and multidirectional growth story of India is likely to develop. The book will be of interest to students and researchers of India’s political economy and the growth economies of Asia.

South Asia in the New World Order Shahid Javed Burki, Professional Economist Series: Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series The main focus of the book is to indicate how South Asia can take advantage of the rapid changes taking place in the structure of the global economy. It argues that the developing global economy will be much more complex than implied by what may be called the G2 model: that from a unipolar world the world is moving towards a bipolar configuration with two countries – the US and China – at the center.

Series: Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series The period between 2001 and 2006 saw the rise and fall of an internationally supported effort to bring a protracted violent conflict in Sri Lanka to a peaceful resolution. A ceasefire agreement, signed in February 2002, was followed by six rounds of peace talks, but growing political violence, disagreements over core issues and a fragmentation of the constituencies of the key parties led to an eventual breakdown. This book brings together a unique range of perspectives on this problematic and ultimately unsuccessful peace process.

Bhagat Singh, often referred to with the prefix Shaheed (“Martyr”) is considered to be one of the most famous revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement.

One of the leaders and founders of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA), he is also believed by many to be one of the earliest Marxists in India and has been labeled so by the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Singh emerged as an icon for masses in demanding equal rights for Indian and British political prisoners. He was hanged for shooting a police officer in response to the killing of veteran social activist Lala Lajpat Rai.

Departing from the hitherto existing historiography of Indian nationalism, it analyses the extent to which Congress elites engaged in processes intended to foster nation-building in India.

Young Muslim Women in India

Psychopharmaceuticals in India

Kabita Chakraborty

Stefan Ecks, University of Edinburgh, UK

Series: ASAA Women in Asia Series

Series: Routledge/Edinburgh South Asian Studies Series

Based on extensive, original research, this book portrays a different and an under-represented perspective of young Muslim girls in the bustees (shanty towns) of Kolkata. Through a series of personal narratives, photos and artwork, it demonstrates that in spite of the dominant discourse surrounding their lives, the consumption and behaviour patterns of young women in these bustees challenge the monolithic representations of what it means to be a Muslim girl in Indian society.

This book analyses two specific processes of globalization that have had an impact on the changing nature of doctor-patient encounters in India. One is the immense and successful growth of the global market in antidepressants over recent years, to the effect scholars speak of an ’antidepressant era’. The other process is the rising Indian generics industry, which is to become the world largest manufacturer of generic medications by volume.

Contemporary EnglishLanguage Indian Children’s Literature Representations of Nation, Culture, and the New Indian Girl Michelle Superle, York University, Canada Series: Children’s Literature and Culture Concurrent with increasing scholarly attention toward national children’s literatures, this book explores an emerging body of literature that has thus far garnered little serious critical attention: contemporary, Englishlanguage Indian children’s novels. The work critically examines the ways Indian children’s writers have represented childhood in relation to the Indian nation, Indian cultural identity, and Indian girlhood.

Globalisation and Advertising in Emerging Economies

Routledge Handbook of the South Asian Diaspora

Brazil, Russia, India and China

South Asia’s diaspora is among the world’s largest and most widespread, and it is growing exponentially. In 2001, the government of India estimated that 20 million persons of Indian descent live abroad; and many more millions have roots to other countries of the subcontinent, in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. There are three million South Asians in the UK and approximately the same number resides in North America. South Asians are an extremely significant presence in Southeast Asia and Africa, and increasingly visible in the Middle East.

Lynne Ciochetto, Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand This book analyses four of the largest and most dynamic contemporary emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India and China. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines anthropology, sociology, development studies and the cultural industries of design and advertising, the book explores the dynamics of global capitalism from the perspective of global advertising. A series of country studies examines contemporary global advertising through political, economic and cultural perspectives.

Edited by Joya Chatterji and David Washbrook, both at University of Cambridge, UK

This inter-disciplinary Handbook on the South Asian diaspora brings together contributions by leading scholars and rising stars on different aspects of its history, anthropology and geography, as well as its contemporary political and socio-cultural implications. The Handbook situates the contemporary diaspora firmly within an historical context. South Asians have travelled abroad for many reasons, in many guises, to many destinations for many centuries. The first section of the Handbook provides a historically grounded analysis of these movements of people. It includes chapters on the following themes: mobile South Asians in the early-modern world, diaspora and Empire, and the diaspora in the age of nation states. The second part of the Handbook centres on politics, culture and identity in the South Asian diaspora, thus offering the reader an overview on transnational politics and economics, culture in the diaspora and the socio-cultural impact of the South Asian diaspora on the countries where they have settled.

This much needed and pioneering venture provides an invaluable reference work for students, scholars and policy makers world wide interested in South Asian Studies.
