Join our South Asia and 38 North programs for a panel analyzing what lessons South Asia has to offer the Korean Peninsula as it debates nuclearization

As public support for nuclear weapons in South Korea grows significantly, experts will discuss the nuclearization of South Asia as a comparative case that could offer South Korea lessons for its own possible nuclear future.

Co-hosted by Stimson’s South Asia Program and 38 North, this panel of experts will analyze the road to and legacy of nuclearization in India and Pakistan 25-years-on from their 1998 nuclear tests. The discussion will explore nuclear drivers, discourses, and (in)stability in South Asia, offering insights into how nuclear weapons have shaped regional security dynamics and the potential impact they could have in the Korean context.
