Both decentralization of state law and cultural relativism have been fundamentally embedded in legal pluralism. As a scholarly trend in law and society, it has insightfully challenged the underpinnings of analytical positivist jurisprudence. Nevertheless, a theoretical concept of political power has significantly been missing in research on the plurality of legal practices in various jurisdictions. This Article aims to critically offer a theoretical concept of political power that takes legal decentralization and cultural relativism seriously and yet points to how and where we should look into political power, assuming that legal pluralism itself may be a strategy of elites and nation-states amid globalization. First, the Article explores the contributions of legal pluralism, and its limits, in intellectually revolting against analytical positivist jurisprudence. Second, it explicates why a concept of political power has been missing, and why such a concept is required for better comprehension of legal pluralism. Third, it calls for a look into three sites of political power in the praxis of legal pluralism: politics of identities, non-ruling communities, and neo-liberal globalization. Last, the Article constructs a concept of political-legal transformations that enables us to unveil political power in the context of de-centralized legal pluralities. Power is produced in, resides in and is generated in the dynamic interactions between nation-states, localities and global agents. Transformative relations along these dimensions allow the nation-state to forfeit some elements of power, both in economics and in law, but they also enable it to maintain some essential ingredients of political power that are often veiled in the rhetoric of globalized pluralism.

Thirty years ago, I became interested in the classical Newar dance drama traditions in Nepal, because I wanted to know the meaning of a specific ritual dance drama called Jala Pyakha.

This paper was presented in an International Conference, “Socio

Pakistan and India are two neighboring countries, whose inhabitants share a long history and have many commonalities, but relations between both the countries have been strained by different activities and issues since birth of the two. Like other
relations the Trade relations between Pakistan and India have never been good and productive since last six decades. This has
hampered the economy of Pakistan and India, and has contributed a lot to the increasing level of poverty in both the
countries. Using the lens of commercial peace theory, this study explores that Trade relations between Pakistan and India need a
revival to combat the economic problems of the people on both sides of the border. Also it argues that trade, in spite of its
economic benefits will contribute to peace between the countries and the region. It explains that there is a long list of issues
contributing to this situation, needing focus to achieve the target of peaceful trade relations. This study focuses only three
important of these i.e. Chabahar Port Project verses Gawadar Port, Most Favored Nation status (MFN) issue and Regional
Politics involved in this regard. Furthermore this paper will give a list of suggestions important for improving the present status
of Pak-India trade relations. It subsequently argues that both the countries shall enhance bilateral trade to foster peace in the
region, as is advocated by commercial peace theory.

Since last decade, the world has been facing Muslim militancy as the most tough challenge and threat. Activities of global Muslim militant groups like Al Qaeda and Taliban have engulfed a large number of human lives have cost dollars in billions. The militants as a base, cite different verses of the holy Quran related to dominancy of Islam over all religions, Islam as the only acceptable religion to God, Killing Polytheists and people of the books a religious obligation and thus making an Islamic state. It is argued in this study that they (militant) are not alone in basing their militant activities on divine obligations. Some very prominent, well learned Muslim scholars (of which Maulana Shabeer Ahmad Usmani and Maulana Syed Mawdudi are the focus of this study) are also projecting and promoting the same concept and ideology. The study highlights how these scholars interpret these specific verses of the Holy Quran and how their concepts and explanations are countered by scholars like Ameen Ihsan Islahi and Javed Ahmad Ghamidi. Upon comparing both the groups’ interpretations, the study found that these verses which are the base of Muslim Militants agenda mean something very different from militant’s narrative. This profound counter narrative can remove the base provided to militants and can serve as a soft tool to handle them ideologically, and thus reducing any further militancy in the name of Islam and Quran.

This study, conducted under the auspices of Ithaka S&R, used semi-structured interview techniques and social science methods, under the guidance of Ithaka staff. Twenty-four participants were interviewed, representing five of the six University of Washington Asian Studies regional programs: China, Japan, and Korea, South Asia and Southeast Asia. The Central Asia program was not represented in the survey coverage.
This report is the result of interviews conducted in the spring and summer of 2017 with the aim of determining the research, networking and publishing habits of Asian Studies faculty at the University of Washington, one of the most significant and extensive programs for the study of the region in the United States.
