It is contended that the theories of balance of power drawn from the Western & European experience are not necessarily applicable to situations elsewhere, especially in South Asia. During colonialism, India was part of Britain's power politics in a European-dominated multipolar world, using hard balancing strategies. During the Cold War, power in India & Pakistan was balanced by the two superpowers using both hard & soft balancing. The history of the power relations of these two countries with the rest of the world is explored. At present, the Indo-Pakistani relationship operates in a largely unipolar US-dominated world with considerable power wielded by China as well. In this trilateral power relationship, the Indo-Pakistani second-strike-capability nuclear balance prevails in South Asia. On the global scene, however, India's economic dependency on the US lessens any compulsion toward military balancing & encourages India to bandwagon with the US rather than join in an alliance with or against any other nation.

The author discusses the three major objectives of U.S. Security policy in South Asia: (1) contain nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, East, & Central Asia; (2) prevent an India-Pakistan nuclear war; & (3) contain the roots of global transnational terrorism by eliminating terrorist havens in South Asia. In the discussion on nuclear proliferation, the author focuses on the Eisenhower administration's "Atoms for Peace" policy, the Carter administration's 'stick' approach of economic sanctions, & the Reagan's administration's use of a 'carrot' approach in the form of military & economic aid to Pakistan. The discussion of the India-Pakistan crises begins with the 1998 nuclear tests conducted by each country. Finally, the discussion on terrorism focuses on post 9/11 strategies to contain terrorism. J. Harwell

This paper examines three images of the Third World (postcolonial, nonaligned, & less developed states) & four types of security (international, transnational, regional, & internal) on three continents (Asia, Africa, & Latin America). In the first image, the Third World is defined by a postcolonial racial divide between the former European colonial powers & their decolonized empires. The second image of the Third World is the lingering legacy of the Non-Aligned Movement, which comprised the states outside of the American & Soviet blocs. The third image is that of the less developed world & the continuing struggle between rich & poor, both among & within states. The four forms of security -- international, transnational, regional, & internal -- encompass interstate conflicts; civil wars, revolutions, & their spillover effects; nationalism & interethnic conflict & the prospect of failed states; the spread of nuclear, biological, & chemical weapons; transnational terrorism; the illicit narcotics trade; & perceived negative consequences of globalization. 2 Tables, 151 References.
