INVIGORATING SOUTH ASIAN COOPERATION THROUGH EFFECTIVE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT MECHANISM
Downloads
Abstract
The geo-political and strategic location of SAARC territory is of great importance. The whole region and the waters surrounding it is an arena of big power games and movements which has in the last six decades, after British withdrawal, witnessed a shift towards “globalism”. Besides, the Pacific region, East Africa and a huge part of Middle East have been influenced through increasing movements in the Indian Ocean. Also, the countries of the sub-continent, each with its own quality of relationship with the super powers outside the region, influence deeply the SAARC process; while the internal relationship on every possible development sector of member nations determines the very structure of SAARC as a forum of regional cooperation. The increasing number of external powers as observers is indicative of this new trend.
