    Seminar Abstract

    Twenty years since India and Pakistan tested nuclear weapons, every new crisis between them brings with it the risk of escalation. The Balakot attack in February 2019, which saw India launch a retaliatory air strike inside Pakistan, triggered new concerns and debates regarding the escalation ladder in South Asia. Added to this mix is the evolving nature of conflict and emergence of new technologies, including the new reality of sea-based deterrence in the Indian Ocean region. The speakers will delve into these critical aspects of escalation and examine prospects for stability in South Asia.
