註釋
Ten years after the end of the Cold War, South Asia stands almost alone among regions where the potential for conflict remains high. The situation was further aggravated by the nuclear tests in the region in May 1998. This has led to avoidable tensions, high military spending and lack of economic co-operation among its member countries. As a result, South Asia is today among the poorest regions in the world, with human development indices even worse than Sub-Saharan Africa. It is imperative that this cycle of tension and conflict is broken. The only way out is to develop alternative approaches to security. One such alternative is comprehensive and co-operative security. Ideas which have emerged in recent years in Europe and Asia may be adapted usefully in South-Asia. This book is an attempt at understanding the security concerns of individual countries of South Asia.
