Keywords:

The fluidity of change in the international ties among the potential SAARC members—India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives—is thoroughly addressed throughout this paper. The emerging social, political, and economic relationships which impact both bilateral and multilateral collaboration are investigated from a cross-disciplinary approach. Historical evolution, changing power dynamics, and diplomacy in the context of the globalized global economy are a few of the issues. The dynamic function of regional associations, such as the SAARC, in encouraging or inhibiting collaboration and resolution of disputes is given more attention. In order to produce complex data on regional dynamics and the influence of international relations on world politics, the article also aims at highlighting how external as well as internal variables complicate the politics of South Asian international relations.
