OverviewAnyone interested in South Asian security and U.S. policy toward the region will be rewarded with new insights on these topics, written by academics and analysts specializing in the issues. The chapter authors were close colleagues or advisees of long-time Brookings Institution senior fellow Stephen Philip Cohen. Cohen was the first American scholar to work on South Asian security studies. He largely defined the field, trained and mentored many of its leading analysts, and was himself its most experienced and insightful scholar-practitioner until his death in 2019. This book is dedicated to Cohen in recognition of his contributions to scholarship and policymaking on South Asia.

They address long-standing issues such as conventional and nuclear forces, and Sino-Indian and India- Pakistan relations, as well as problems related to political culture, democracy, and internal security, which have previously been underexplored. The volume is a fitting tribute to the legacy of Professor Cohen and his pioneering work in the field of South Asian security studies. --S. Paul Kapur, Professor, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School Blending academic insight with policy relevance, these essays explore a host of critical governance and security challenges facing contemporary South Asia that have clear implications for U.S. foreign policy. The volume is a fitting tribute by former colleagues and students of Professor Stephen Cohen, who both pioneered the field of South Asian security studies in the United States and counseled successive American administrations on their engagement with the region. --Walter Ladwig III, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, King's College, London Ganguly and Mistry's Festschrift to Stephen P. Cohen bears the hallmarks of the characteristic sympathy and penetrating analysis that distinguished his own work during his lifetime. The essays in this volume illuminate the diverse security predicaments that bedevil the various South Asian states in ways that are deeply insightful for both scholars and policy practitioners alike--a perfect reflection of Cohen's own oeuvre and his enduring intellectual legacy to South Asian security studies. --Ashley J.
