Pakistan: Dream Deferred or Denied?

Pakistan


Event Summary

With a planned U.S. “surge” in an increasingly unstable Afghanistan, the recent release from house arrest of atomic scientist A.Q. Khan, and a continuing diplomatic stand-off with India, Pakistan remains a key actor in the regional and global security dynamic. For the foreseeable future, the political and security situation in Pakistan is likely to be of vital importance for American counter-terror objectives in the region, as well as for global non-proliferation efforts.

The first panel will feature Brookings Senior Fellow Stephen Cohen, Lisa Curtis of the Heritage Foundation and J. Alexander Thier of the U.S. Institute of Peace. The second panel will include Teresita Schaffer of CSIS, Robert Hathaway of the Woodrow Wilson Center and Marvin Weinbaum of the Middle East Institute.
