Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from U. S. Interests in South Asia: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on International Economic Policy and Trade and Asia and the Pacific Committee on International Relations House of Representatives One Hundred Fourth Congress First and Second Session The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:24 p.m. in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC, Hon. Doug Bereuter, chairman of the subcommittee, presiding. Mr. Bereuter. Today we will hold the first of two hearings on a large and diverse region of South Asia, which contains nearly one-fourth the world´s population and has significant impact on a number of important U.S. interests. Our hearing today will address U.S. security interests in the region. Next week, on December 12, we will hold a hearing on U.S. trade and investment interests in South Asia, which are fast growing in importance. These two hearings most certainly will not exhaust the range of U.S. interests and concerns, but their subjects represent two of our highest priorities. It is a matter of satisfaction to be able to counterpose today´s hearing, with its inevitable sobering overturns, with a subsequent hearing on the commendable and even revolutionary economic policy reforms that many of the South Asian countries have adopted during the past 4 or 5 years. Despite a number of positive developments in recent years, we cannot afford to ignore the ongoing serious threats to peace and stability in South Asia, as represented by unresolved territorial disputes, active regional dissidence movements - sometimes aided and abetted by neighboring countries - and the continuing threat of nuclear and missile proliferation. Unfortunately, the source of current and potential conflicts in South Asia has deep historic roots. This makes them all the harder to address and resolve. Due to the high stakes involved for U.S. interests, I expect that today´s witnesses will focus their remarks primarily on the long-standing India-Pakistan rivalry. Although both countries have generally promoted their respective positions and their high degree of awareness of the consequences of miscalculation, they continue to engage in fire fights high on the Siachen Glacier. Both have the capability to produce nuclear weapons and the weapons systems that can deliver them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
