South Asia Unbound: New International Histories of the Subcontinent

Whose international matters, and why? How are geographic regions constructed? What are the channels of engagement between a place, its people, its institutions, and the world? How do we understand the non-West’s influence in contemporary global interactions? From humanitarianism and activism to diplomacy and institutional networks, South Asia has been a crucial place for the elaboration of international politics, even before the twentieth century. South Asia Unbound gathers an interdisciplinary group of scholars from across the world to inves­tigate South Asian global engagement at the local, regional, national, and supra-national levels, spanning the time before and after indepen­dence.
