Summary
South Asia contains approximately a quarter of the world’s population and two of its major military powers, India and Pakistan. This issue of Swords and Ploughshares celebrates the longstanding connection with South Asia of the Program in Arms Control, Disarmament, and International Security (ACDIS). Since its founding in 1978, ACDIS has had a close association with regional issues and regional scholars and strategists. With primary funding from the Ford Foundation for the training of South Asian scholars (and additional support from the MacArthur Foundation and other sources), ACDIS is at the forefront of South Asian security studies in the United States, and also has developed a strong comparative regional security program, with a special interest in East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.This issue of Swords and Ploughshares features articles by three distinguished South Asian scholars, each of whom was in residence at ACDIS in 1990-91.
