This compendium of ten papers attempts to demonstrate the importance of South Asia as a region to deepening the study of civil wars and armed conflicts and simultaneously, illustrates how civil wars open up questions of sovereignty, citizenship and state contours.

Contextualizing civil wars in South Asia, it discusses at length the military fiscalism and the politics of market reforms at the time of civil war in Sri Lanka. Further taking a close look at the transnational political economy of civil war in Afghanistan, it describes the ground reality of development, insurgency and social transformation in Nepal, the secession of East Pakistan in 1971, the rise of jihadi militancy in Pakistan’s tribal areas, and India’s Armed Forces Special Powers Act.
