SAARC: The Sign of Solution of Problems In South Asia
The South Asian Association of Regional Co-operation comprises of India, Pakistan, Sri-Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Afghanistan. It established with the aim to promote the well being of the population of South Asia and improve their standard of living to speed up economic growth, social progress and cultural development. This Association provides a platform for the peoples of South Asia to work together in a spirit of friendship, trust and understanding. Its aim is to promote the welfare of the people of South Asia and solve the problems like food, shelter, education problems, diseases, economic problems, social problems, political problems, terrorism etc. There are a number of problems which no country of the region can solve single-handed and which can be solved only if the countries of the region cooperate. So let us come to the point that the paper is actually about the “SAARC: The Sign of Solution of Problems in South Asia”. So I want to examine it and explain how we can find the solution of problems and in what sense we can call it the Sign of Solution.
Globalising national states
Abstract Globalisation has ambiguous effects on states. On the one hand, it favours national states since citizens' identification with their state provides for political and social stability. On the other hand, globalisation makes it difficult for states to be national because the scope of sovereign decision-making is reduced, and many citizens prioritise trans-national networks over national ones. Hence well-established national states, which are sufficiently resilient to maintain a national culture while also engaging with the wider world, enjoy a comparative advantage over such states who either fail to maintain national cohesion or seek to protect it by rejecting foreign influence. The present article revisits the most common typologies of nations and national states, and discusses how four main types of nations (ethnic, civic, plural and class) cope with globalisation. The article builds on the assumption that the ‘foreign policy’ field, notably the capacity of states to shape popular global policies, must be included in discussions of the future of the national state.
