The Routledge Atlas Of South Asian Affairs
South Asia has
developed from a group of newly independent post-Colonial states of at
most secondary importance to the wider world to its current position as a
region of central strategic importance to both global economic
development and world peace and stability.
This Atlas highlights the global significance of South Asia in
relation to economic, geopolitical and strategic interests. It provides a
coherent descriptive and analytical account of the key elements of the
complex societies that make up the region and its component countries.
Illustrated with more than 100 original maps and offering concise
entries on key issues, the book is structured thematically in these
sections:
Global Context
Geographical Environments
Historical Evolution of South Asia
Key Issues in modern South Asia
Economy and Security
Designed for use in teaching undergraduate and graduate classes and
seminars in geography, history, economics, anthropology, international
relations, political science and the environment as well as regional
courses on the South Asia, this book is also a comprehensive reference
source for libraries and decision makers focusing on South Asia.
