Description
South Asia at Gun Point is a comprehensive study of small arms and light weapons proliferation in the South Asian region. Dipanker Banerjee analyzes the sources, routes, and consequences of illegal weapons trafficking that fuels conflicts and violence across the subcontinent.
The book explores how the uncontrolled spread of firearms undermines regional stability, exacerbates existing tensions between nations, and enables criminal networks and non-state actors. Banerjee examines the socio-political and economic factors driving demand for weapons, while also investigating the international arms trade mechanisms that facilitate supply.
Through detailed research and case studies, the author presents policy recommendations for curbing weapons proliferation through international cooperation, stricter regulations, and enforcement mechanisms. This essential work provides policymakers, security analysts, and concerned citizens with insights into one of South Asia’s most pressing security challenges.
