Asymmetries dominate South Asia, explaining much of the |
|
region's tension, and complicating the U.S. approach to |
|
its major powers, India and Pakistan. Disparities in |
|
geographic size, population, military capability, and |
|
economic markets leave the Pakistanis feeling inferior to |
|
India and reinforce India's view of itself as an emerging |
|
major power. For much of the last five decades, South |
|
Asia was of episodic strategic interest to the United |
|
States. The region's strategic value was measured almost |
|
solely in terms of the Cold War struggle with the Soviet |
|
Union and varied with the mercurial cycles of U.S.-Soviet |
|
geopolitical competition. Even at the height of the |
|
region's relevance for U.S. global policy, in the 1950s |
|
and again in the 1980s, the link between Washington and |
|
South Asia was never comfortable. |
