In this detailed, anthropological study Fernanda Pirie traces the ways order has been created by, but also despite and in defiance of, the powerful external forces of religion, war, politics and wealth. Gradually a clear analysis unfolds of the subtle dynamics that have long characterised relations between local communities and centres of power and which can successfully be applied to the wider region. This exemplary study of conflict resolution brings to light the means by which small communities, both rural and urban, negotiate peace amidst the heterogeneous forces of modernity, while at the same time critically re-examining theories that over-emphasize the explanatory power of Buddhism. This rich ethnographic account of local practices fills a conspicuous gap in secondary literature on Tibetan law. 410 0$aBrill's Tibetan studies library ;$vv. 13. 607 $aLada?kh (India)$xSocial life and customs 607 $aLada?kh (India)$xBoundaries 607 $aLada?kh (India)$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a954/.6 700 $aPirie$b Fernanda$f1964-$0928745 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451439903321 996 $aPeace and conflict in Ladakh$92094042 997 $aUNINA
