Summary

"McLeod theorizes the levels and culture of violence between India and Pakistan since partition and Independence in 1947. Despite a voluminous output of political and, in particular, historical accounts of this extraordinary and unique relationship in international politics, there has been little attempt to theorize the culture of violence between these two states. As a consequence, the study of India Pakistan relations suffers from what the author labels historical reiteration. That is, the dispute is historicized in a way that reproduces the preconceived division of 1947. This approach, at best does nothing to enhance our understanding of relations and at worst, actually serves to further entrench rivalry and hostility."--Jacket.
