Research Interests My research interests, broadly speaking, span identity politics, security and governance issues. In 2001, my dissertation research was published as 'State and Nation in South Asia' by Lynne Rienner Publishers. In 2000, a volume I co-edited with Jeanie Bukowski on decentralization and centralization processes in nine different cases (six outside South Asia) was published. I am currently working on two projects: one on gender and international security and the other on post-conflict issues.
