Synopsis Events since September 11, 2001, have inflicted transformations on patterns of terrorism and counter-terrorism that would have been inconceivable even days prior to the catastrophic attacks in America. The present volume turns a critical focus on a wide range of conflicts, as well as initiatives for response and resolution in the context of the post-9/11 era, reassessing the past against the backdrop of emerging trends. Divergent perspectives on terrorism, the insurgencies and peace processes in various States in India’s Northeast, current transformations in J&K, as well as communal faultlines in the country, come under the uncompromising scrutiny of experts drawn from a range of disciplines.
