      abstract = {This volume is about migration across South Asia and the  complex negotiation of borders by people and the states in  the process. A border is understood as a form of  demarcation, but it also opens up the flow of people,  goods, and ideas of legality and illegality. Borders are  dynamic and dyadic in the interface of state and non-state  actors involved in border operations. Consequently,  transborder movement becomes a complex web involving  concerns of security, trade, militancy, and questions of  citizenship, along with discourses of ghettoisation,  belonging and otherness. Since the mid-20th century, the  South Asian region has witnessed growing social and  political instability and breakdown of regional  cooperation. In this context, the volume casts a wide,  interdisciplinary lens across South Asia and discusses  economic migration as well as forced migration due to  persecution and natural disasters. It looks at how  understandings of 'territoriality' and 'border' become  blurred due to increasing transborder migration in the  region: how states in South Asia address transborder  movements at both policy level and on the ground; and how  borderlands become spaces for illegal trade and informal  economy in South Asia and for negotiations between states  and refugees on identity and citizenship. This highly  topical volume is for a wide group of scholars and students  interested in South Asia, ranging from sociology,  anthropology, political science, history, to  interdisciplinary fields like migration studies, peace and  conflict studies, and development studies. .},
