Abstract: The creation of SAARC in 1985 by the initiative of a relatively small country (Bangladesh) is a composition of several diffusion mechanisms such as domestic pressure, norm socialization and persuasion, competition, lesson drawing, normative emulation, and mimicry. Even though a broad agreement is located that the SAARC is an unsuccessful association in comparison to EU, NAFTA, and ASEAN, the influence of SAARC as an institution by shaping the identity is significant and efficient. Furthermore, extra-regional projects such as TAPI assists SAARC for minimizing Pak-Indo conflict in South Asia. The fundamental premises of this paper is to analyze how the SAARC shape and impacts the Pak-Indo conflict. The paper will neither investigate the Pak-Indo strife profoundly nor will discuss how the productivity of SAARC is undermined by Pak-Indo conflict.
Keywords: ASEAN, SAARC, TAPI, Regionalism.
