| Abstract: | Connect the dots. With this Defense Cooperation pact with India ('there's nothing there' says AKD reassuringly in this speech), Anura is dragging us into an amended role in providing regional security; a role that is hardly even-handed or equidistant; balanced or omni-directional. A role that is hardly nonaligned. How is the region ('kalaapaya') defined? If it is South Asia, what about the other countries of the region, including our staunch friend Pakistan? If it is the Indo-Pacific or Asia-Pacific region, what about our friend China? [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
