Shifting sands - Mumbai Strategic Foresight Group 2003 - 86p.

Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11 there is a tendency to believe that dramatic events shape the history of nations and the world. Are events the autonomous determinants of the course of history or are they merely expressions of underlying dynamics?
This report addresses the tensions between the impact of events and underlying structural realities in Undefined Asia - consisting of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Though undefined as it is outside any established institutional arrangement or group of nations, it is interlinked by oil, terrorism, and strategic concerns of super powers.
