Abstract

The South Asian region’s volatile geological situation and high degree of mutual mistrust and the potential for environmental degradation to trigger events means environmental factors could become a major cause of instability and threat to South Asian security. This region comprises of seven adjacent countries-India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives and Bangladesh. The region has many interstate rivers and common sea coastline extending from Pakistan in the West to Bangladesh in the East. Five of them share land borders with India except the island nations of Sri Lanka and Maldives. Bhutan and Nepal are land locked nation. This geographic contiguity is separated by geo-political rivalries and security concerns between the different political units, whose political system run from a well established and deeply rooted democracy in India, to an inexperienced one in Bangladesh, uncertainty in Nepal, through monarchy in Bhutan and to military dictatorship/unstable democracy in Pakistan. Internally, these nations are struggling with their own internal problems.
