Through research and track-two diplomacy, CISAC scholars seek to identify policy oriented, cooperative measures aimed at fostering effective dialogue between Pakistan and India in an effort to enhance nuclear safety and security in the region.

Building on this and other track-two efforts, CISAC brings together a mixture of younger and more established strategic thinkers from South Asia--including academics, civilian politicians and diplomats, and former senior military officers--to analyze alternative agreements and reciprocal, unilateral arms control measures aimed at constraining nuclear weapons-related procurement and operations.
