Debate
Sujit Dutta’s article, ‘China in SAARC? To What Effect?’ is a thought-provoking essay. It raises an appropriate and timely debate on a theme that is of vital significance for the peace and prosperity of South Asia. Sujit has given a sound conceptual background on regionalism and has strongly argued against supporting China’s membership in SAARC.
A recognised China specialist like Sujit sees the writing on the wall in view of the proposal of some of India’s neighbours to include China in SAARC.
