Human Security is one of the complex challenges in South Asian region which has been continuously neglected by the policymakers due to the lack of state-centric comprehensive tendencies for the regional security paradigms. In this context, this research work attempts to encourage hostile South Asian nation-states to amend their hostile state-centric behaviors towards people-centric approaches for peace and security in the region. Although, the concept of human security is poorly concentrated in the region yet huge potential still exists which can successfully attract the masses for continuous cooperation to deal human security challenges in the region. The primary aim of this paper is to explore the capacities of South Asian nuclear powers India and Pakistan to combine the elements of their soft and hard powers into a smart power strategy to advance their mutual gains for sustainable human security. To explore the potential capabilities of people-centric approaches in India-Pakistan state-centric tendencies, this paper attempts to answer two questions related to smart power engagement potential for developing a winning strategy.

Pakistan and India have failed to establish substantial and sustained economic relations between them. Despite being neighbours, they couldn't enjoy a good volume of bilateral trade in multiple sectors. This study traces the history of bilateral trade between Pakistan and India. While identifying patterns of trade between them, the study attempts to identify barriers in bilateral trade between them like trade regimes, non-tariff barriers and other discriminatory measures. The study also makes an attempt to address the question concerning how the impediments in bilateral trade can be removed to enhance bilateral trade and economic connections. On the basis of interviews of Key Informants (KIs), this study explores the potential of bilateral trade between Pakistan and India and finds possible sectors where bilateral trade can be augmented. Lastly, this study finds possible sectors where Pakistan and India can initiate joint ventures to seek win-win approach in bilateral economic relations.

The rise of China economically, technologically and militarily has become an alarming threat for the superpower of the present century. The US is fighting a new Cold War to retain her hegemony all over the world. The policies of the new Cold War are quite different from those of the old Cold War. First Cold War was an ideological clash between the US and USSR, but the new Cold War is purely the US’s ambition to preserve its primacy all over the world. The aim of creating a "New Silk Road" and the strategy against String of Pearls is, in fact, the beginning of a new Cold War. Although the US and China are key trade partners, their competition cannot be unheeded. After 9/11 the politics of the world took a new turn and USA transformed her traditional policies towards major powers. This paper examines and analyse the policies of the US towards a militarily advanced and economic giant of the world like China.
