Economic Determinants of Conflict - A proposal for North Eastern States of India

Author

Listed:
  • Brahmachari, Deborshi

Abstract

The proposal proposes a study that attempts to estimate the likelihood of armed conflict across the 8 northeast Indian states, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Sikkim for a span of over 40 years (1972 -2014). It will also attempt to study the association between armed conflict and economic /socio-political/ policy variables and suggest relevant policy measures.
