A reply from the author to my comments:
After reading Tom Mahhken's book 'Strategy in Asia', on irregular warfare in Asia that looks at India, Pakistan and SE Asia I came to the conclusion that there is no 'Asian school of COIN'. I will try to PDF same. Mostly, Asian COIN is a variant on Western ideas (India love Kitson-Thompson).
As for Southern Africa - again British and French ideas dominate. Thompson was the key text for Rhodesia; Beaufre on indirect total strategy for South Africa.
Looking for indigenous thinking at the strategic level is a bit of a lost cause.
