I would like to draw your attention to a publication,
which appeared 1987 with Izharsons Publishing company, 19, Urdu Bazar,
Lahore,
Pakistan, entitled

Security for the Weak Nations. A Multiple Perspective, A Joint Project of
Pakistani and Austrian Scholars

Editors Syed Farooq Hasnat (Punjab University, Lahore, Department of
Political Science)

and

Anton Pelinka (Innsbruck University)

It carries excellent articles which, by now have become prophetic, on the
nuclear option for Pakistan etc.

The book can be regarded as an interesting, although by now politically
failed
attempt to search for an alternative security policy in South Asia, based
on such concepts as defensive military doctrines, neutrality,
non-alignement etc.

Kindest regards
