South Asia includes the countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and the Maldives. Some definitions of South Asia also include Afghanistan. This course focuses on how the international system affects countries of the region and how developments within these countries shape global interactions. We examine both the effect of international forces on the countries of the region as well as how state and societal responses in South Asia affect the prospects of security, prosperity, and cultural integration in the world. This will include FOREIGN relations between states in this region, as well as their relations with the external world.
