Abstract

Ajay Gondane, a visiting fellow during Spring 2006, argues that terrorist acts are not committed in a vacuum, but emerge from a state’s social processes.  By assessing societal trends and India’s unique history, Mr. Gondane illuminates new ways of analyzing and combating terrorism, and opportunities for cooperation for the Government of India and the United States.
