چکیده:
The purpose of writing this article is to examine the balance of power that has occurred in Asia in light of the competition between India and Pakistan. Since independence, India and Pakistan have had a kind of avoidance and conflict with each other due to their shared history. As after India's nuclear test in 1974, Pakistan sought to maintain its defensive balance against this country. In the 1990s, both countries also achieved a nuclear deterrence to maintain the balance of power against each other, and the rules of the power game in the relations between the two countries turned into a zero-sum game. With the developments and incidents that have occurred since the first decade of the 21st century, including the killing of Bin Laden, the darkening of Pakistan-US relations, the fight against terrorism, India-US nuclear and security cooperation, and the impact of these developments on the relations of South Asian countries with each other and with powers outside the region, the question can be raised: toward which direction will the prospect of the balance of power in the relations between the two countries, India and Pakistan, move? The hypothesis of the present research is that given the dominance of crisis geopolitics on India and Pakistan relations in the South Asian region, each of the two countries, India and Pakistan, tries to undertake a kind of balance of power against the other, by forming alliances and coalitions with other countries outside the South Asian region, to change the balance in its own favor and enter into strategic relations and alliances with extra-regional countries. It is worth mentioning that to examine the aforementioned hypothesis, a futurological method and the use of the retrospective technique will be used.
خلاصه ماشینی:
In the present era, in the South and Southwest Asia region, a type of competitive, tension-inducing atmosphere and strategic cooperations prevails over the relations of the countries of India, America, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Russia, and Iran.
The security cooperation of these South Asian countries with the countries of America, China, and Russia, and the efforts of each of the two countries, India and Pakistan, to promote their own position and maintain balance against their rival at the regional level, has led to the formation of a type of complex power balance that also has significant effects on the national interests and security of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Among these cases is the export of Iranian gas to the countries of India and Pakistan, which serves to increase the capacity and trade, economic, and security balance of the region; and Iran, by having a policy of constructive and principled interaction in pursuit of accessing new markets, can provide a basis for playing a role in regional and global relations and exchanges in line with its national interests.
In the present era in the South Asia region, a type of tension-inducing competitive atmosphere and strategic cooperations prevails over the relations of the countries of India, America, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Russia, and Iran.
