Dr. Ali Riaz and Dr. Subho Basu analyze the roles of ethnicity, identity, and deprivation, in engendering discontent and the rise of the Maoists as a formidable political force. Mindful of the geo-strategic importance of the country, this book contextualizes these domestic developments within the post-9\/11 global world. Jointly authored by a political scientist and a historian this book brings together structural and historical perspectives. Written in an engaging language, \u003ci\u003eParadise Lost?\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to political scientists, historians, sociologists, and those interested in current affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAli Riaz\u003c\/b\u003e is professor and chair of the Department of Politics and Government at Illinois State University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubho Basu\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in the Department of History at Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 08, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46666487562437,"sku":"9780739146644","price":117.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/LI4K6uLyvX9780739146644.webp?v=1785988653","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/paradise-lost-state-failure-in-nepal-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
