Patchwork States

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Patchwork States argues that South Asia's politics of violence, development and electoral competition are rooted in colonial and post-colonial state-building. It lays out a framework that links different forms of governance under colonialism to subnational political outcomes, providing a new way of looking at colonial legacies in social science.
