Abstract
In the post-cold war period, the balance of power had shifted from the Atlantic to Pacific region. This distinct region has thus, emerged as centre of international politics due to its economic and strategic significance. South Asia which continued to maintain its identity as a separate Security Complex, has virtually merged with Asia Pacific region due to global connectivity hence, making the two regions as Asian super-complex. The key variables that would shape the security structure of Asian super-complex would depend largely upon the attitude and behaviour of the US and China and to a lesser extent India. From realistic perspective, China and the US are involved in strategic competition to exercise maximum influence in Asian super-complex which could turn into confrontation if it is not managed rationally. Yet, an in-depth study of the Joseph Nye’s Theory of Complex Economic Interdependence and its relevance to this contested region indicates that the possibility of a conflict between the two great powers is less likely in near future. But, isolated studies in South Asian context alarms that there is a real possibility of war between India and Pakistan. The world community should therefore, focus on the causes leading towards the emerging security scenario and take steps to help this part of the region to avoid catastrophic that is possibly waiting if not contained well before time.
