This book seeks to examine the various aspects related to armed conflicts in South Asia, taking both inter-state and intra-state actors into account. It addresses three major security aspects in the region—armed conflict, peace audit and early warning—and evaluates the gap between the end of violence and the response to peace, assessing whether peace processes are fragile in the region.

Highlighting the early warning of impending armed conflicts, it also permits the placement of ameliorative measures for dealing with such a situation from a law and order perspective.
