While attending APCSS courses, Fellows are required to complete a Fellows Project which may be done as a presentation, research paper, or policy brief. APCSS is now making these papers available on line with our new “Alumni Perspectives” publications.

“Empowerment of Smaller Powers in South Asian Security Cooperation,” is a paper by a graduate of the Advanced Security Cooperation course (ASC 15-1), Mr. Pradeep Kumar, who serves as Director, Adjutant General in India’s Ministry of Defense.

His paper analyzes the security concerns of smaller powers in South Asia and their possible long-term impact on relations with other nations in the region and beyond. In it, he provides recommendations to help build cohesiveness and confidence building in order to achieve combined goals.
