ABSTRACT

The end of Cold War has witnessed rather a step back to history. While the traditional security issues are very much on the agenda, non-traditional and newer sources of insecurity have emerged and they seemed to be intimately linked to the traditional issues. In many ways, the linkages are provided by the continued validity of the dictums of realpolitik. The objective of the paper is to develop an interface between traditional and non-traditional security concerns in the context of South Asia. While the domain of traditional security concerns is well-defined and zealously guarded, no consensus is found as to what non-traditional security is, what includes and what it excludes and where to draw the line. An attempt is made to conceptualize non-traditional security. Finally, some policy propositions with regard to enhancing national and regional capacity to deal with both traditional and non-traditional security concerns in South Asia will be made. It is hoped that the agenda will have wider relevance to other developing regions.
