Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons Program

Kayhan Barzegar Page 33

The major goal of the author of this article is to provide a historical-analytical account of Pakistan's nuclear program. He also intends to identify domestic, regional and international factors influencing the process of nuclearization of this Asian state. Major issues discussed include: the military control of the Pakistani atomic program, the conduct of recent nuclear tests, the ability of the military to intervene in domestic politics and even to change the nature of the regime in power. The author argues that Pakistan's security concerns due to the nuclear capability of India within the context of the interstate rivalry must be considered an important factor in Pakistan's nuclear decision-making. He concludes that Pakistan's decision to go nuclear and to conduct well-publicized nuclear tests was unavoidable because of the nature of the regime, and the relative strategic position of Pakistan in a region, which encompasses nuclear capable states of India and China. Furthermore, international factors including Pakistan-US relations in the post cold war era must be considered in any study of Pakistan's nuclear policies.

Israel's Strategy in Azerbaijan and Central Asia

Bulent Aras Page 63

The rapidly shifting balances of the 1990's and new developments stemming form acceleration of economic globalization have forced Israel to reevaluate and reshape its foreign policy strategy. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, several new republics became a part of the Middle East due to their statute as Muslim countries. These Central Asian states appeared on the agenda of the Israeli adminstration even before they had won their indepedence from Moscow. Israels surprisingly early contacts and developing relations with these republics are evidence of the importance attached to this region. One goal of these early attempts has been to set a barrier against the expansion of Arab and Iranian influenc in the new republics. The main aim has been to preempt the threat of Islamic fundamentlism.

The Political Power Structure of Israeli Society

Asghar Eftekhari Page 89

In this essay, the author addresses the question of the lack of success of the Islamic World in dealing with Israel's expansionist policies. He introduces deficiency of accurate and precise understanding of Israel as an explanatory variable. Therefore, it is argued that what is needed for effective policymaking is a better awareness of all aspects of life including politics, economy, society and culture of Israel. The writer then proceeds with an analysis of Israel's social and political attributes. The topics contemplated are: Israel's social structure as a whole, its political elite structure, the characteristics of the Israeli politicians, the role of its governmental and non-governmental organizations, its military forces, the role and function of its parties and its related political groups with an emphasis on their interactions. In conclusion, this researcher presents a multi-dimensional analysis of the major groups and individuals, which contribute to the formulation of Israeli domestic and foreign policies.

Non-democrtic States and Political Liberalization in the Middle East: A Structural Analysis

Mehran Kamrava Page 141

Despite significant historical and structural differences that seperate them, Middle Eastern states have almost uniformly been able to withstand popular pressures for political liberalisation. In each case, the non-democratic states resilience in relation to society arises out of a different set of dynamics. Exclusionary states, whether relying on their intelligence services (mukhaberat) or directly on the military, have succeeded in depoliticizing society through repression and enticing fear of political ideavours among the population. Inclusionary states, having turned street and neighbourhoods into political theaters, have successfuly diverted popular politicl energies into projects that actually sustain the very basis of the regime. Of the sultnistic states, however, only those with substantial oil wealth and a small population base have been able to effectively placate demands for political participation and accountability. The civic myth monarchies, of which Jordan and Morocco are prime examples, have found it necessary to embark on limited but highly trumpeted processes of political liberalisation, if only as a necessry survival strategy. Elsewhere in the Middle East, however, the structural make-up of various state types make them largely immune to pressures for liberalization.
