First, maintaining regional peace and stability in the region includes not only reducing the risk of conventional armed conflict between the nations involved, but also reducing the risks of [...]

According to Snedden, “the bilateral dispute over whether India or Pakistan should possess J&K will continue for some time. India and Pakistan have not yet been able — or perhaps willing — to resolve it. There is little or no political will on either side to do so; neither has a perception that might lead to a meaningful compromise. [...]

Nankivell argues in a new Macdonald-Laurier Institute commentary. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has conducted an unprecedented 37 missile tests in the last twelve months.
