Paperback. Condizione: Good. With a population exceeding twenty million, Karachi is one of theworld's largest 'megacities'. It is also one of the most violent.Since the mid-1980s, Karachi has endured endemic political confl ictand criminal violence, which revolve around control of the city andits resources (votes, land and bhatta-'protection' money). - esestruggles for the city have become ethnicised. In the process, Karachi,often referred to as a 'Pakistan in miniature', has become increasinglyfragmented, socially as well as territorially.Despite this chronic state of urban political warfare, Karachi remainsthe cornerstone of the economy of Pakistan. In contrast to the 'chaotic'and 'anarchic' city portrayed in journalistic accounts, there is indeedorder of a kind in the city's permanent civil war.Far from being entropic, Karachi's polity is predicated upon relativelystable patterns of domination, rituals of interaction and forms ofarbitration, which have made violence manageable for its population-even if this does not exclude a pervasive state of fear, which resultsfrom the continuous transformation of violence in the course ofits updating. Whether such 'ordered disorder' is viable in the longterm remains to be seen, but for now Karachi works despite-andsometimes through-violence.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. There seems to be no end to the growing number of victims of civil war, terrorism, guerrilla warfare and military repression on the Indian subcontinent, despite the absence of interstate wars over the past ten years. These conflicts often involve armed paramilitary militias or insurgents of one sort or other, and it is their ideology, sociology and strategies that the contributors to this book investigate. Whether based on ideological motives - such as the Maoists and Naxalites in Nepal and India - or invested with a fundamentalist religious mission - the Hindu nationalist Bajrang Dal in India, the Sunni SSP in Pakistan, or Islamist militias in Bangladesh-all these movements use violence to exercise social control, challenge the authority of the state and impose their own particular worldview.Although they seek also to undermine the state, depriving it of the monopoly on legitimate violence that it supposedly holds, governments are equally adept at exploiting them to make them serve their own ends. For the authorities, these movements can be useful tools for their pursuit of both moral and social order.However delegating power to such groups for short term political gains can be an extremely risky enterprise, as demonstrated by Indira Gadhi's patronage of the Sikh militant group that later assassinated her. "Armed Militas of South Asia" is the first comprehensive book of its sort and will be required reading for all those interested in the politics of the subcontinent and Myanmar.…
