SAARC

Today, in the new world order, perhaps a small organisation like SAARC should hold no great significance. It's a tiny body, with only seven members, but this does not lessen its importance. In fact, its strategic geographical location provides it with a special status and it becomes an entity in itself. In letter and spirit, SAARC is a cultural, economic and commercial association, apolitical in nature. Still, its political importance and meaningfulness is quite obvious and is recognised by the whole world, including big power. This study evaluates SAARC, as a living and developing organisation and efforts have been made to cover all the aspects in an objective manner. This adds to its worth as a comprehensive and exhaustive work on the subject.
