This monograph highlights key factors in South Asia imperiling U.S. interests, and suggests how and where the U.S. military might play an expanded, influential role. It suggests seven steps the military might take to better advance and defend U.S. interests in South Asia, the Middle East, and Asia at large. Washington should intensify involvement in South Asia and become more influential with the governments there. Given the area's potential for violence, it should also shape part of the U.S. military to meet potential crises.

This portfolio contains articles on U.S. policy in South Asia. It begins with an appraisal of Pakistan-U.S. relations from the Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement of 1954 to the relations in the 1980s. The articles cover American interests and policies in South Asia--the United States' stake in the independence, security, and economic growth of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives and Afghanistan; and the implications for the U.S. of the arms race between India and Pakistan. U.S. interests in the Indian Ocean region--the preservation of Western access to Persian Gulf oil resources, and the preservation of a local geopolitical balance that minimizes the risk of direct superpower confrontation--the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and Soviet policies and interests in South Asia are also covered. Includes the full text of the Indo-U.S. joint statement on the visit of the Prime Minister of India to the U.S. in June 1985.

Once the United States withdraws most or all of its forces from Afghanistan, what issues are likely to continue to be of concern to U.S. policymakers in South Asia? What regional dynamics are likely to affect their ability to achieve policy priorities there? While the United States and its coalition partners have focused primarily on Afghanistan and Pakistan over the past 12 years, the strategic dynamics most likely to be relevant over the next 12 years will probably be clustered around relationships linking Pakistan, India, and China. The authors of this report propose a framework for U.S. policy in South Asia centered around that cluster rather than the more common cluster of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The report includes an analysis of U.S. policy priorities, contingencies, and regional dynamics in South Asia.
