Summary
"Governments and armed groups have remarkably diverse relationships: sometimes they fight in intense wars, sometimes they work together, sometimes they construct informal live-and-let-live bargains. This book offers a new way to think about the politics of these different forms of order, outlines how governments perceive threats, and provides extensive evidence from post-1947 South Asia" -- Provided by publisher.
