Description
The aim of paper is an attempt to provide a comprehensive and multidimensional presentation of the determinants that shape the South Asian region. The current state of research gives rise to the following research questions: What are the constitutive fact ors and values of South Asia? To what extent is the shape of the region of South Asia influenced by endogenous factors and to what extent by exogenous factors? What is the importance of South Asia for the new international order emerging in Asia? By answering these research questions, I have attempted to verify the following research hypothesis: The main constitutive factor of the region of South Asia are activities of major powers, both regional, such as India, and external, such as China and the United States. These powers perceive South Asia as key for the realisation of their superpower aspirations and as a means of increasing their own role in Asia.
