“…On the foreign policy front, India under Nehru adopted non‐alignment, Third Worldism, and Panchsheel as a three‐pronged response to the fluid international relations at the beginning of the Cold War and the resulting political, ideological, and military blocs created by the United States and USSR (see Harshe 2007). Pakistan soon became embroiled in the politics of the Cold War, joining the Western camp.…”

The Changing Narrative of Security Discourse: From State Security to Human Security in South Asia?

Security discourse has radically changed over the years, especially since the Post–Cold War period. The traditional concept focuses on state security and national security, and is essentially based on realist and neo-realist paradigms. However, in 1994, the United Nations Human Development Report for the first time elaborated the notion of human security and the associated Human Development Index (HDI). Human security advocates a people-centric approach to security. The two foundational principles on which human security is based are “freedom from fear” and “freedom from want.” I evaluate the notions of state security versus human security and examine how South Asian countries have fared regarding the human security indices. I conclude that, despite advances in some areas, various HDI parameters show that the human security record is still rather dismal in South Asia. There remains a critical need to improve it.

Este artículo aspira a ser una revisión del estado de la Teoría de las Relaciones Internacionales (TRI) en India. En él, se analizan tres aspectos de la TRI. El primero se refiere a la posibilidad de una tradición de pensamiento de temas de importancia teórica universal. El segundo se refiere al análisis de la reflexión académica sobre un principio importante de la política exterior india, a saber, la no alineación y los límites de su teorización. El último aspecto trata sobre las inquietudes de los académicos indios en cuanto a teorización desde los años noventa. Con respecto al primer aspecto, en este artículo se sostiene que existe una tradición de pensamiento india en temas como el orden, la justica y el cosmopolitismo, aunque no haya sido expresada en el lenguaje de la TRI. En cuanto a la no alineación, en el artículo se sostiene que, si bien no dio lugar a amplias formulaciones teóricas, planteó una serie de cuestiones de primer orden que requieren una mayor teorización. Finalmente, se sugiere que los temas recientemente tratados en la TRI por parte de los académicos indios, reflejan una coyuntura más receptiva para ese tipo de trabajo, tanto en términos de la posición cambiante que ocupa India en el sistema mundial cuanto en el reconocimiento a métodos más eclécticos y a las posibilidades que ofrece el amplio mundo de las ciencias sociales.

Balancing, Bandwagoning or Hedging? Independent Ceylon’s Reaction to Regional Hegemony

The foreign policy of Ceylon under the premiership of D.S. Senanayake maintained a distinct alignment with its former coloniser Great Britain. The zenith of this relationship was the defence agreement which came into effect upon independence in 1948. Utilising the existing scholarship on neorealism and the concept of security dilemma, analysis of the reasons behind this strategic alignment exposes the threat perception Ceylon faced from its regional hegemon, India. This study surveys such threat perceptions faced by the island at the time of independence and argues that this led to a balancing strategy with Britain. It first locates Ceylon’s foreign policy employing the taxonomies of balancing, bandwagoning and hedging and then examines how Ceylon’s extra-regional alignment with the UK enabled her to eschew from a security dilemma with India.
