Challenging the view that a shared colonial legacy led to
contrasting patterns of political development in South Asia--democracy
in India and authoritarianism in Pakistan and Bangladesh--Ayesha Jalal
argues that, despite differences in form, central political authority in
each state has confronted similar threats from ethnic and regional
movements. By comparing state structures and political processes, the
author evaluates and redefines democracy, citizenship, sovereignty and
the nation state, arguing for more decentralized government.
