Summary/Abstract |
The one continent where ballistic missiles have proliferated tremendously is Asia. There are some important factors that have been, and are, contributing to such a trend in the region. Firstly, the demand for the ballistic missile as it is a relatively cheap weapon to develop and deploy compared to a large and sophisticated air force. Also, this weapon is hard to counter even by the most technologically advanced countries. Secondly, the existing geo- political make-up where confrontation is between states that are at opposite poles of the power spectrum, where the weaker side finds such weapons most suitable to counter a technologically superior adversary. Thirdly, the ready availability of the technology and vital components through both legal and clandestine means. These factors have enabled states like North
Korea with a less than meagre technology base to adapt the technology, of course, with tremendous assistance, to develop ballistic missile capability. With the rapid proliferation of these weapons in Asia, countries facing this threat have been looking for ways to counter it. Most have turned to some level of Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD). This paper attempts to study the ballistic missile threat and the missile defence efforts of the US and its allies in East Asia, China, Israel and India.

Summary/Abstract |
This article deals with the evolving Israeli policy on the issues of ballistic missile threat, and missile defence. The Israeli perception of the missile menace has changed drastically as a result of the 1991 Gulf War. This led to a set of decisions by the Israeli leadership which have resulted in the allocation of enormous resources to accelerate the development and deployment of the Arrow anti-tactical ballistic missile system. To analyse these decisions and their implications, the unique Israeli decision-making process is described. The article outlines this process as part of the Israeli strategic culture, and examines the roles, and influence of the main actors in the process. Israel can be described as a relatively liberal democracy in all aspects of civilian life. But, on issues of national security and defence, the country is a limited and restricted democracy.
