Abstract The article looks at security relations in the Asia Pacific region, with a special focus on China, India and Pakistan. In doing so, the article applies Gerald Segal's model to these case studies and tries to make an assessment as to how secure or insecure the region is. The four factors which are taken into consideration to make this assessment are the nature of political systems, the levels of economic interdependence, the role played by regional organizations and the balance of power. Finally, the article argues, while some of these areas look good, a lot of them don't and much more needs to be done to make the region more secure. Going by this assessment, the prospects for security, by and large, look bleak.
