Abstract

ABSTRACT This article looks into the future of regional cooperation in South Asia in the light of two emerging powers: China and India focussing on how their rise would change the relationship in the region. The paper argues that China and India both are trying to enhance their spheres of influence forcing the states in the region to align with either of them in a binary framework of unstable equilibrium and uneasy coexistence rather than reinforcing the regional solidarity of SAARC. Such a competition between China and India and the putative interventionary efforts of Western powers and their agencies in the region are bound to bring implications of profound value for not just regional cooperation but for the individual destinies of the various states involved in the days ahead.

新兴大国、软实力与南亚区域合作的未来

摘要本文从中国和印度这两个新兴大国的角度探讨了南亚区域合作的未来，重点关注它们的崛起将如何改变该地区的关系。该论文认为，中国和印度都试图扩大其势力范围，迫使该地区的国家在不稳定平衡和不稳定共存的二元框架中与他们中的任何一个结盟，而不是加强南盟的地区团结。中国和印度之间的这种竞争，以及西方大国及其机构在该地区的干预努力，势必不仅对地区合作，而且对未来各国的个人命运产生深远价值。
