South Asia and U.S. National Security Strategy, 1998-2008

Abstract

This paper seeks, very briefly, to outline the strategic context, define the national interests of the two major players and the United States, identify threats, challenges and opportunities, conceptualize trends and scenarios, delineate tools and means of influence, and suggest policy choices. In the interest of remaining close to the recommended paper length, we have glossed over some elements in the analysis framework and left implicit others, notably the policy objectives category. Our paper looks toward 2008, and we wish to note that a number of our conclusions would have been different if the timeline had reached out to 2025.
