Compare Kashmir in India and Pakistan Policies by Piotr Balcerowicz, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The unresolved India-Pakistan conflict remains one of the major challenges in contemporary international relations. This book analyses the conflict between India and Pakistan. It examines the India-Pakistan complexity by focusing on the problems of human rights violations perpetrated by state and non-state actors in Indian and Pakistani administered Kashmir. The two South Asian states use, either explicitly or indirectly, the Kashmir issue as an important determinant of their internal and foreign policies and the Kashmir conflict is embedded in the power structures of both states. At the same time they both acknowledge the framework of international human rights regime and their duties thereby imposed, and take steps which lead to various abuses within the sphere of human rights. The book covers all the territories of the former State of Jammu and Kashmir in a balanced way in terms of legal analysis, human rights and politics. Presenting detailed information on the Kashmir conflict, and the situation of human rights in Kashmir as well as its legal status, this book will be of interest to academics and policy makers in the field of South Asian Studies, Human Rights, international relations and political science and conflict management in general and the Kashmir conflict in particular. | Kashmir in India and Pakistan Policies by Piotr Balcerowicz, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
