La stratégie de l'Inde : un changement de paradigme ?
India's Strategic Game: A Paradigm Shift?, by Waheguru PAL SINGH SIDHU
India's strategie plan, which seeks to create a multipolar world with New Delhi as one of tne autonomous decision-making poles, evolved in the after-math of the Cold War. Consequently, India sought to break away from the Pakistan-centric posture and to play a greater role both regionally and globally, albeit based on its newly demonstrated nuclear weapon capability rather than the traditional Nehruvian policy of non-alignment. After 11 September 2001 the preoccupation of the US and its allies with global terrorism and their partnership with Pakistan limited India's regional autonomy of action and might delay the emergence of multipolarity. However, India has got greater support for its own on-going war against terrorism and has also enlarged its engagement with the US and its allies. Ironically, it has not been able to break out of the hyphenated relationship with Pakistan.Alors que, sous la domination du parti du Congrès (de Jawaharlal Nehru à Rajiv Gandhi), l'Inde était le chef de file des pays non-alignés, la fin de la guerre froide a modifié en profondeur sa posture stratégique et provoqué un rapprochement, d'abord économique, avec les Etats-Unis, rapprochement que la nouvelle configuration internationale de l'après-11 septembre semble encore accentuer. La lutte antiterroriste, devenue prioritaire au niveau mondial et renforçant les exigences de non-prolifération nucléaire (qui avaient déjà permis d'amorcer un processus de négociations avec les Etats- Unis et contribué à la reconnaissance de l'Inde comme nouvelle puissance dans l'ordre mondial), offre un nouveau terrain d'entente entre les deux plus grandes démocraties du monde, que la persistance de tensions avec le Pakistan et la Chine et de conflits régionaux en Afghanistan et au Cachemire pourrait unir dans une même lutte. La volonté indienne de tenir un rang d'importance dans un monde multipolaire semble ainsi passer davantage par la reconnaissance et le soutien des Etats-Unis que par ceux des Nations unies ou des voisins asiatiques.Pal Singh Sidhu Waheguru, Jaquet Christophe.

Cooperative Monitoring Center Occasional Paper/13: Cooperative monitoring for confidence building: A case study of the Sino-Indian border areas
This occasional paper identifies applicable cooperative monitoring techniques and develops models for possible application in the context of the border between China and India. The 1993 and 1996 Sino-Indian agreements on maintaining peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and establishing certain confidence building measures (CBMs), including force reductions and limitation on military exercises along their common border, are used to examine the application of technically based cooperative monitoring in both strengthening the existing terms of the agreements and also enhancing trust. The paper also aims to further the understanding of how and under what conditions technology-based tools can assist in implementing existing agreements on arms control and confidence building. The authors explore how cooperative monitoring techniques can facilitate effective implementation of arms control agreements and CBMS between states and contribute to greater security and stability in bilateral, regional, and global contexts
