The recent India-Pakistan crisis reached levels of escalation previously unseen between two nuclear-armed powers. The unprecedented nature of this crisis makes it an important new case study for understanding security relationships in South Asia and the wider world.
The Strategic Learning team interviewed a range of South Asian security and nuclear deterrence experts to share their analysis on strategic dynamics and how various concepts were on display, disrupted, or upended. We have organized these videos into four categories for ease of navigation: deterrence objectives, military capabilities, escalation dynamics, and external actors. Viewers should bear in mind that these interviews were recorded both during and after the crisis.
