The Transformation of the "Nation-State" System in South Asia

三年的研究成果如下：1.英属印度的分治阻碍了南亚“民族国家”的建立。尤其是巴基斯坦。2.印度旨在建立强大的中央集权国家机构，这在很大程度上是由于英国的遗产，但面对来自全国各地的强烈抗议运动，印度被迫给予邦和地方机构更多的自治权。尼赫鲁试图建立一个现代的公民国家，这疏远了大量的群众。20世纪80年代印度教民族主义的出现是对尼赫鲁民族主义的反应。然而，即使是印度教民族主义也逐渐被泛印度民族主义所取代。印度人民党政府为此目的充分利用了核试验和卡尔吉尔危机。因此，在印度，国家建设和民族建设方向之间的差距正在扩大。巴基斯坦的伊斯兰化是由两个主要因素造成的：巴基斯坦“民族国家”的矛盾和历届政府的糟糕表现。经济自由化政策以及媒体和信息技术产业的发展加速了货物、信息和人员的流动，对“民族国家”产生了相当大的影响。然而，这些力量并不一定会导致全球化，但这种抵抗表现为强烈的民族主义。印巴冲突主要源于各自“民族国家”的矛盾。“核试验和克什米尔冲突是矛盾的一些结果。20世纪90年代末，这两个兄弟国家出现了对抗，这也影响了我们的研究。区域合作、主权共享、国家关系与民族关系的区别等问题，都有待于今后充分讨论。

The achievements of the three-year project are as follows :1. The building of the "nation-states" in South Asia was handicapped by the partition of the British India. Especially disadvantageous was Pakistan.2. India aimed at building strong centralised state institutions owing in large part to the British heritage, but has been forced to give more autonomy to the states and local bodies, faced with strong protest movements from various parts of the country.3. Nehru tried to build a modern civic nation, which alienated large masses. The emergence of Hindu nationalism in the 1980s was a reaction to the Nehruvian nationalism. However, even Hindu nationalism has been gradually being replaced by pan-India nationalism. The BJP government has fully utilized the nuclear tests and the Kargil crisis for that purpose. Thus, the gap between the directions of state-building and of nation-building is widening in India.4. The Islamization of Pakistan has been brought about by two main factors : a contradiction of the "nation-states" of Pakistan and the poor performance of the successive governments.5. The economic liberalization policy and the development of media and IT industries have accelerated flows of goods, information and people, which have had a considerable impact on the "nation-states." However, these forces do not necessarily lead to globalisation, but the resistance manifests itself as strong nationalism.6. The conflict between India and Pakistan stems mainly from contradictions of respective "nation-states." Nuclear tests and the Kashmir conflict are some results of the contradictions. The late 1990s witnessed confrontationist aspects of the two brother countries, which also affected our research. Regional cooperation, shared sovereignty and the difference between the relations of states and that of nations are yet to be fully discussed in the future.
