A collective endeavour of scholars highlighting some of the significant domestic determinants of Soviet foreign policy. There is a general consensus that policy makers are influenced by Islam, the Soviet-Central Asian nationalities, oil and geography. The grand objective was to transcend the conventional wisdom which maintains that the Soviet Union's foreign policy derives inspiration only from Marxism-Leninism, leading it to export "revolution" in distant lands and to fish in troubled waters for strategic opportunities. The study reveals that contrary to this belief the Soviet Union takes cognisance of the contiguity of South Asia and the Middle East and the decision-makers cannot be oblivious to the geographic as well as the demographic components of their state's security when designing their foreign policy. The editor was also responsible for editing a number of books including "Institution-Building Activities of Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan", "International Security in South West Asia", "Iqbal - Poet Philosopher of Pakistan", "Muslim Nationalism in India and Pakistan" and "Soviet American Relations with Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan".
