The strategic chain linking Pakistan, India, China, and the United States

The 15-month Brookings Institution project focused on the “strategic chain” linking Pakistan, India, China, and the United States—a series of relationships that are resulting in some of the most active nuclear weapons, missile, and missile defense programs anywhere in the world today. The project’s main goal was to identify policies and measures that could promote stability and reduce incentives for arms build-ups between key pairs of protagonists, regionally, and globally, while also contributing to a better understanding of the various strategic interconnections among these four nuclear-armed powers.Project on Advanced Systems and Concepts for Countering WMDGrant/Agreement No. N00244-15-I-003

The U.S.-India Strategic Partnership and the Iranian Nuclear Challenge

Performers: New York University and Brookings India Principal Investigator: Barnett Rubin and W.P.S. Sidhu Cost: $68,661 Fiscal Year(s): 2014-2015Objective: Iran’s nuclear weapons program has the potential to undermine the existing but fragile nonproliferation regime while also posing a hurdle to an improved U.S.-India strategic partnership. To overcome these challenges, India could utilize its historic relations with Iran to curtail Iran’s nuclear ambitions. This alternative approach could ease India’s accommodation into the nonproliferation regime, moderate multilateral and unilateral sanctions, and prevent countries from resorting to military options.PASC
