Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Smruti S. Pattanaik’s commentary ‘Why SAARC would not allow Foreign Ministers meet to Legitimise Taliban Regime’ has been published by the Society for the Study of Peace and Conflict (SSPC) online, on September 25, 2021.
Regionalism in South Asia continues to evoke intense academic interest among scholars. SAARC, an organization that was conceptualized in the early eighties, evinced both hope and despair. A hope to overcome the factitious past and move onto the path of prosperity, and the despair that was embodied in its inability to achieve its potential. The fight against poverty and the path to prosperity has mostly been an individualistic journey among countries.
