Ethnic tensions, a consistent hallmark of Indian politics, have escalated dramatically since the 1980s and have weakened India's unity and its role as the dominant power in the region. This book examines the connections between internal and external policy and the ways in which domestic ethnic conflicts shape a state's international security perceptions and policies.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Chadda has produced a superb analysis.... Her thesis is that traditional pluralist conceptions of states'search for hegemony and neo-Marxist ideas of communal and class divisions are inadequate to deal with the impact of ethnonationalism, which is a 'highly disruptive force, with immense potential for dissolving sovereign boundaries, precipitating war and intervention, and destroying... established nation-states.'... Using three cases -- the struggles in the Punjab, in Cashmere, and between Tamils and others in South India and Sri Lanka -- she provides excellent descriptions and relates them effectively to her theoretical ideas.
(Choice )Review
With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the breakup of Yugoslavia, pressures on multiethnic states have grown and the dangers of transborder ethnic conflict intensified. Chadda's analysis of the Indian experience provides insight, both substantive and theoretical, that should inform our understanding of these challenges throughout the world.
(Robert L. Hardgrave, Jr., University of Texas, Austin )
