Publisher's Synopsis
Debunking the myth that poverty and over-population explain the colonization of the indigenous fringe, Colonization and Conflict explores the policy frames that support settlement, studies the forms of indigenous accommodation and resistance to it, and looks at the conflict-mitigating record of institutional solutions where colonization led to violence. The book also looks at the conflict mitigating record of institutional solutions where colonization led to violence. (Series: Asien: Forschung und Wissenschaft/LIT Studies on Asia - Vol. 2)
