Synopsis

This book develops a conceptual framework to better understand governance issues and theoretical tools to grasp the variety of empirical realities observed in practice in Northeast India. Drawing from the study of cases of governance, law, and institutions in India’s Northeast borderlands, it provides an exploratory space for creative thinking and to encourage a wider, deeper, and more nuanced debate on governance in the periphery from a broader knowledge base. Focusing on politics, law, and institutions in India’s periphery, the chapters in the volume develop an interdisciplinary understanding of the complexity of governance of borderlands addressing a variety of themes from various perspectives, such as democracy, politics, autonomy, citizenship, law, institutions, and border states. The volume will be of great interest to scholars of South Asian studies, especially Northeast India, politics, borderland studies, and public policy.
