Summary/Abstract |
This article examines an existing and proposed set of security agreements relevant for India and its South Asian neighbors. In particular, the focus is on the mechanisms available to monitor and verify international military security and nuclear stability agreements. Several ideas for cooperative engagement on issues of security concern are presented. Among them are cooperative border monitoring, cooperative aerial monitoring, naval and maritime cooperation, establishment of a science center in the Siachen Glacier region, and ways toward nuclear stability and transparency. Success at implementing and maintaining such cooperative security agreements will have profound implications on the prospects for peace and stability in South Asia.
