Management of Security Environment and Trend of SAARC Regionalism

The South Asian Association for Economic Cooperation (SAARC) was established for spreading cooperation among South Asian nations in 1985. Although، the SAARC disengged to the cold war requirements، was created based on technical، economic and independent considerations، but there has not been any notable success in their association. The main question of this article is: in spite of various development programs، which factors and conditions affected in weakness and passive role of the SAARC (1985-2014? We try to explain this idea that change of regional security framework in South Asia from 1990 has had the most impact in weakness and ostensible regionalism of the SAARC. After the cold War، inconsistent national dynamisms، accession of Afghanistan to the SARRC and the approach of great powers to this region، have impressed rationality and performance of this organization. According to mentioned atmosphere، member states could not be able to set native management of regional security and then the horizon of deepening of regionalism would be ambiguous.
