Abstract

There is no doubt that Asia in general, and East and South Asia in particular, is at the "hub" of world politics. This is why new criteria, approaches and different evaluations must be used to enhance the value of Asia as a subject and not an object of world politics. The dynamic and changing character of the "situations" is evident in East and South Asia in the events of the last months of 1971 that rid India of Pakistani concern, and made it, along with China and Japan, one of the main states of the region. These three nations all border with the USSR, which in Asia is a permanent geographic fact. In addition, there is currently a growing appreciation of the importance of the Pacific strategy and the United States is a key player.
