Tibet in Sino-Indian relations: the centrality of marginality
Article Abstract:
Tibet plays a significant role in the bilateral relations between China and India. India, under Jawaharlal Nehru, regarded Tibet from 1946 to 1951 as an autonomous buffer region between India and China. On the other hand, the Chinese policy toward India has been one of deep strategy and surface diplomacy. China's goal has been to gain Indian support for its occupation of Tibet while at the same time achieving a strategic advantage over India in the inner Asian region. The Chinese believe that India would play a significant role in future interventions in Tibet.

Normalization of India-Israel relations: stillborn for forty years
Article Abstract:
India normalized its relations with Israel on Jan. 29, 1992, when it announced that it was sending an ambassador to Israel. India's decision to improve its relations with Israel is part of its bigger plan to strengthen its ties with the US, in the wake of the integration of the Soviet Union. It was also concerned with the growing influence of Islamic fundamentalism in Asia and considered Israel as a neutralizing agent in the continent. More importantly, India's decision symbolized the shift in its post-Cold War foreign policies.

India adrift: the search for moorings in a new world order
Article Abstract:
India has managed to become a military power in South Asia with clever military planning and political strategizing. India's policy of non-alignment became the an important factor in India's bid for leadership in the region. However, the collapse of the former USSR in 1990-91 and the end of the Cold War has forced India to reorient its policy of nonalignment. India needs to examine its foreign policies to identify postcolonial incursions in its domestic affairs and legitimate negotiators for interdependence.
