Mutual distrust between the two of major actors of the region, i.e., Pakistan and India, were perhaps the major stumbling blocks. The SAARC process envisioned and carried forward by Bangladesh was the path-breaking in this regard. SAARC has remained dormant for quite a while and critiques are quick to write its obituary. But the relevance and the spirit of SAARC underlined by the spirit of cooperation came in life during the pandemic period when the Indian Premier proposed to address the pandemic crisis under the aegis of SAARC. This was again reiterated by Bangladeshi Prime Minister during the ten-day observance of the birth centenary of the Father of the Nation and fifty years","PeriodicalId":48069,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of International Relations","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83766767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first text, authored by Hedley Bull, marked a sharp departure from the dominant realist school of thought. Bull’s concept of the society of states maintains an international order by common interests based on a set of primary or universal goals. He argues that the common interests among the states are the prerequisites for forming the order. The second book, authored by Alexander Wendt, offers a ground-breaking meta-theory of constructivism.
