Description: "The Chairman's Report of an Independent Task Force on New Priorities in South Asia assesses the strengths and weaknesses of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and recommends how U.S. policy can best take advantage of the opportunities while addressing the dangers that they present. The report urges new initiatives to solidify the partnership with an economically and militarily stronger India; carefully calibrated support for Pakistan in its efforts in the volatile Kashmir conflict; a new framework for - and a close watch on - proliferation issues in the region; and redoubled support for the Hamid Karzai government's security initiatives in Afghanistan."--Jacket.
