This book seeks to understand the evolution of Soviet policy towards the countries of South Asia, the regional constraints and policy opportunities which influenced the policy process in Moscow, and the relationship between Soviet perceptions and policy objectives. The book divides Soviet foreign policy into three aspects: a perceptual aspect in which assessment of the regional and international environment occurs; a formulative aspect in which aims and strategies are developed; and an implementation aspect. The book analyses Soviet policy objectives and instruments in distinct historical phases: 1970-1978, which covers the lndoPakistani War and bilateral relations; 1979-1985, which covers the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and its impact on regional politics; and 1985-1991, which examines the Gorbachev era and the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
