Selective Leviathans: Explaining State Strategies of Counterinsurgency and Consolidation

Sameer Lalwani was a 2013-2014 AIPS Fellow and conducted research in London for 2 months. Lalwani "seeks to explain how the social terrain of ethno-nationalist and civil conflicts— specifically the geography and identity of the insurgent group—shapes state strategies to manage, combat, and defeat such violent challenges, and empirically it focuses on conflicts in post-independence Pakistan and India."
