Book overview

The Abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A of the Indian Constitution and Its Implications for the South Asian Regional Strategic Environment examines the constitutional changes concerning Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019 and their implications for regional politics and security. The book connects the history of the Kashmir dispute with debates about constitutional authority, autonomy, sovereignty, and the strategic relationships among India, Pakistan, and China.

Across seven chapters, Dr. Syed Rizwan Haider Bukhari considers developments following the withdrawal of the provisions, Pakistan’s responses, and the wider implications for diplomacy, deterrence, and regional stability. Drawing on securitization theory, deterrence theory, and regional security complex theory, the study discusses survey material and elite interviews alongside historical, constitutional, and geopolitical analysis. A dedicated chapter explores Pakistani strategic perspectives on the changes.

Written for students, researchers, policy analysts, diplomats, and readers of South Asian politics, the book concludes with discussion of possible approaches to dialogue and de-escalation. Bibliographical sources and ten appendices provide supporting material, including constitutional provisions, agreements, presidential orders, legislation, and the study questionnaire.
