The nonsymmetric Kaluza-Klein and Jordan-Thiry theories are reviewed as interesting propositions of physics in higher dimensions. It is shown how a dielectric model of confinement can be derived from ''interference effects'' in these theories. It is postulated that the old puzzle of nuclear physics, sigma-particles, can be connected to the skewon field g( ..mu.. ..nu.. ) and the scalar filed /PSI/ in the nonsymmetric Jordan-Thiry theory. Similarities are pointed out between the nonsymmetric Jordan-Thiry Lagrangian in the flat space limit and the soliton bag model Lagrangian. Finally the nonsymmetric Jordan-Thiry Lagrangian is proposed as the bosonic part of the strong interaction Lagrangian.
