Abstract
South Asia is the second most violent
place on earth after Iraq. Conflicts in Afghanistan and
Pakistan have attracted global attention. Parts of India,
Sri Lanka, and Nepal have experienced long-running conflict.
Conflicts result in death, misery, social trauma,
destruction of infrastructure, and have huge spillover
effects. What is conflict? Where is it concentrated? Is
conflict a problem for development, or a failure of
development? And what should policy makers do?
