Environmental dimension of regional security: A comparative study of ASEAN and SAARC

Chhibber Bharti

Abstract

In the wake of the mounting worldwide concern about the environment, regional trans-national Asian bodies have sought to coordinate the responses and policies of their member states; however the practical implementation of the recommended measure has generally been deficient, often due to bilateral strategic misgivings and political differences, especially within SAARC. ASEAN on the other hand tends to be more effective in carrying out the resolutions adopted by its members.
