Description

About the Book: 

 

For six decades now,Northeast India has been in the grip of insurgency and unrest. This has always provided a good recipe for youths in the region getting restive and having recourse to insurgency. The problem has reached a critical juncture now. While on one hand, peace is round the corner in states like Nagaland and parts of Assam, on the other hand, an entirely new dimension is being added to the insurgency with a Maoist rebellion brewing and taking shape.

This volume, Sustaining Peace in Northeast India: Changing Dimensions, is an attempt at looking into the changing discourses of peace and security in the area. The papers in the volume look at the security scenario, the idea of a moratorium on peace talks with new insurgent groups, the changing contours and dynamics of conflict in the Northeast, possibility of the Look East Policy integrating the region by bringing about connectivity in the neighbourhood, and development as a means towards building peace.
