NUCLEAR SECURITY IN SOUTH ASIA: REGIONAL VIEWS ON PROSPECTS AND PRIORITIES December 2021 FOREWORD I am pleased to present the Stimson Center South Asia program’s latest publication, “Nuclear Security in South Asia: Regional Views on Prospects and Priorities.” This collection of essays, developed in partnership with CRDF Global, features the work of rising scholars from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Authors were selected through a competitive application process, received grants to support their research, and benefited from two private workshops co-hosted by Stimson and CRDF Global with regional subject-matter experts. The resulting analysis, first published as a series of pieces on our online policy platform South Asian Voices, explores challenges related to safeguarding nuclear materials and proposes solutions to critical nuclear security issues in South Asia. Policy recommendations range from bilateral and regional security mechanisms, to addressing cyber vulnerabilities, to exploring the potential for advanced reactors in nuclear energy production. This work follows in the program’s long tradition of supporting rising analysts across South Asia and highlighting novel approaches to managing and mitigating some of the region’s most complex dynamics. We are grateful to CRDF Global for making this project possible. For more information on the work of Stimson’s South Asia program, please visit our website at / program/south-asia/.
