Stephen Philip Cohen, a renowned scholar who has significantly contributed to the field of South Asian security studies, has curated a remarkable collection of his most significant articles, chapters, and speeches spanning his fifty-year career. Often referred to as the "dean" of U.S. South Asian studies, Cohen is a prominent figure in the fields of military history, military sociology, and South Asia's strategic emergence. This exceptional collection includes previously unpublished material, including Cohen's original essays on the region's military history, the transition from British rule to independence, the role of the armed forces in India and Pakistan, the pathologies of India-Pakistan relations, South Asia's growing nuclear arsenal, and America's inconsistent regional policy. These original writings demonstrate Cohen's development of a still-relevant theory of regional conflict and how his perspectives evolved over the years, mirroring the growth of South Asian security studies.
