Can a ministate located precariously between hostile protagonist powers achieve a substantial degree of independence in the formulation & implementation of its foreign policy on the basis of its own capabilities, or can this only be the consequencE of forbearance on the part of its more powerful neighbors question The tactics by which one such ministate, Nepal, has succeeded in developing an impressive repertory of responses to the intrusion of unwelcome, & often threatening, external influences: balancing external influences & tacking back & forth between its 2 neighbors-India & China are explored. The objectivs is both to minimize the restrictions imposed on Nepal's freedom of action & to contribute to that country's internal & external security. Balance was sought through nonalignment in the disputes between its 2 neighbors during the past decade & through a process of pol'al & econ diversification that was intended to mitigate Nepal's 'semisatellite' relationship to India. Neither policy has as yet been a total success, & there are still important limitations on Nepal's capacity to act independently. Nevertheless, the range of freedom allowed to Nepal has been considerably expanded, & the Nepali leaders have demonstrated the their skill in defining the limitations & exploiting them to their own advantage. Thus, it is argued, any study of contemporary internat'l pol that did not include an analysis of ministate power would be incomplete. HA.
