| Summary/Abstract |
Looking at the past century, it is possible to identify two eras of distinct international relationships between states: (1) the bipolar system (during the cold war); and (2) the unipolar or multipolar system (at present). This change of the international order has also produced a change in the way the use of force is seen in solving economic, ideological, or ethnic problems. The vacuume created with the dissolution of one of the two superpowers (USSR)-a vacuum not covered by the remaining superpower-has de facto opened the way to the proliferation of small wars. But even if small wars do not represent an immediate threat for most Western countries, prolonged small wars can jeopardise the international order. Apart from wars in the conventional and traditional way, unconventional warfare like civil war, ethnicwar, religious war, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, etc within a state also has the equal potential to endanger the international security. The Libyan crisis which saw the end of a dictatorial regime had such potential.

| Summary/Abstract |
Oman has emerged as a powerful small country in the international relations arena. With an independent and pragmatic foreign policy, Oman is maintaining a balanced relationship with all its neighbours, including Iran. In times of crisis, its policy will be an asset to the West, especially the US. It is against this backdrop that this article traces the strategic position of Oman, its foreign policy and its relationship with the US. It also focusses on Oman's defence forces, especially its air power. In doing so , the article analyses how India's position will be important for both Oman and the US. and vice Versa.
