Abstract
This chapter explores the origins of SAARC and explains the politics behind it. Three specific variables are engaged in explaining the politics of the origins of SAARC: the role of systemic forces, the dynamics of regional international relations, and the socio-economic profile of the region and the regional states. It also explores another interesting aspect of the origin of SAARC; the initiative for a regional grouping was taken by Bangladesh, a middle-sized state in the regional system, and not by India or Pakistan, the two most powerful states of the region. This chapter explains why Bangladesh took the initiative and how different regional states reacted to the Bangladeshi proposal.
