Description

This work addresses to the basic objective of generating a dialogue between the US and the South Asian countries.

This dialogue needs to be free from the earlier difficult, unreasonable and almost polemical exchanges between the proponents of foreign policy idea in the South Asian countries and in the United States.

The process of economic liberalization, the advent of American business interests in South Asian countries and the absence of a second super-power, relatively equivalent to the United States - to fall back upon in times of crisis - apparently convinced the South Asian states to the need to recast their foreign relations in a more realistic and positive framework.
