Antagonistic States in Multilateral Forums: India and Pakistan in SAARC and SCO
Abstract
This research paper examines India and Pakistan's divergent behavior
displayed within two regional organizations, namely the South Asian
Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization (SCO). Despite their longstanding animosity, both countries
actively participated in SCO summits while demonstrating reluctance to engage
with each other within SAARC since 2019. By investigating the underlying
reasons for this divergent behavior, we analyze the implications for SCO in the
context of the Indo-Pak arch rivalry. Employing game theory, precisely the
prisoner's dilemma, we examine the dynamics of cooperation and conflict.
Through this analysis, we uncover the distinctive functioning of multilateralism
within SAARC and SCO, providing insights into the influence of India-Pakistan
relations on these regional institutions. The findings of this study enhance our
comprehension of the complexities surrounding multilateral cooperation and
the significant role arch rivalry plays in shaping regional dynamics.
