Grateful to @stratlearning by the @StimsonCenter for highlighting this engagement. Integrating these courses has helped students engage with deterrence & strategic dynamics in South Asia, especially for young women entering the field. Special thanks to @ethrelkeld & @BetzalelN

For everyone, but especially for IR, Political Science, and Strategic Studies students. These courses are a must-take. Personally, I INSHALLAH plan to do these in the summer holidays after my 2nd semester of M.Phil IR is done. May ALLAH make it easy for me and help in this Ameen.
From Pakistan testing the Fatah-IV missile to India's improving missile technologies, military capabilities are fast evolving in South Asia. To stay ahead on these trends, enroll in Strategic Learning Initiative’s “Missile Technologies in Southern Asia” course:

We at South Asian Voices are deeply saddened by the passing of Brian Finlay, President and CEO of the Stimson Center. Brian was always a fierce champion of this platform and its mission, and it was an honor to work under his leadership. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. His legacy endures in the work he made possible and the lives and careers he touched. stimson.org/2026/stimson-rem…

In this discussion, @ethrelkeld and I discuss: what do we know today about the May 2025 India-Pakistan conflict that we didn't know then, what the lessons learned for both sides are, and how those lessons interact with other major technological shifts in modern warfare.

From Kargil '99 to May 2025: US remains key mediator in India-Pakistan crises, but for how long? As Washington pulls back globally and China grows more invested in the region, the "brokered bargaining model" faces new challenges @stratlearning southasianvoices.org/geo-c-o…

🚨 The India-Pakistan crisis showed the "stability-instability paradox": nuclear weapons may prevent all-out war but make limited conflicts MORE likely as both sides assume fighting won't escalate too far — read more on SAV via @stratlearning southasianvoices.org/sec-c-o…

The recent India-Pakistan crisis saw unprecedented escalation with standoff weapons like cruise missiles & drones - some never used in combat before. Both sides ultimately required significant third-party intervention to reach a ceasefire. @stratlearning stimson.org/2025/five-key-co…

Very pleased to publish @clary_co's detailed analysis of what's known and still unknown about the 🇮🇳🇵🇰 crisis. With divergent narratives taking hold on both sides, this working paper is a timely effort to sort fact from fiction and identify implications for regional stability.
