Publisher's Synopsis
There is a crisis in the political structures of most of the countries of South Asia. It is still in the process of nation-building and has a long way to go towards participatory democracy. The basic demand in South Asian ethnic conflicts is not just for access to power but for genuine power sharing, and the unrest is likely to continue until this demand is satisfactorily met. This report outlines the conclusions of a lively conference at Wilton Park, revealing the rich cultural and political diversity of South Asians.
