Description

South Asia has the distinction of being one of the most affected regions by terrorism and political violence. It is also one of the least integrated regions in the world. Terrorist threats have been diverse, characterised by religious fundamentalism, separatism, left-wing extremism and transnationalism. Interestingly, the countries of the region, under the umbrella of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), possess various regional arrangements to counter terrorism. Yet, the problem of terrorism continues unabated in the region. The principal question is, despite the existence of numerous arrangements, what factors hinder counter-terrorism cooperation among the countries at the regional level?. 2022 selection and editorial matter, Adluri Subramanyam Raju.
