Three nuclear-armed neighbors — China, India and Pakistan — are increasingly locked in tense relations across contested land borders. Last June, USIP convened a bipartisan Senior Study Group on Strategic Stability in Southern Asia. And on May 17, study group members discussed their findings and offered priority recommendations for U.S. policymakers working to de-escalate tensions in Southern Asia and establish safeguards against future conflicts.
