Opis

This book examines India’s Northeast borderland, positioned at the confluence of South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, from the perspective of International Relations. It interrogates the geopolitics of region-making over time and traces the transformation of Northeast India from a British strategic frontier into a securitized borderland.
