Strategic Stability in South Asia: A Bridge Too Far?
Thu, July 23rd, 2015
Washington, DC
The fragile security environment in South Asia is marked by territorial disputes, radical extremism, and nuclear weapons. The next major terrorist strike with credible evidence of Pakistani sponsorship could force India to retaliate militarily, with uncertain consequences. Gurmeet Kanwal and Monika Chansoria discussed the implications of the current security competition in the region for strategic stability. Carnegie’s Ashley J. Tellis moderated.
