South Asian Stability Workshop 2.0 A Crisis Simulation Report
Report (8.564Mb)Abstract
South Asian Stability Workshop 2.0 was a crisis simulation tabletop exercise (TTX) held in
Kuala Lumpur in February 2015. This tabletop exercise engaged top security experts and
scholars from the United States, India, and Pakistan to explore dynamics revealed in a previous
iteration of this workshop that demanded further testing. Examining the implications of strategic
crisis emanating in South Asia, this exercise attempted to study the cascading effects of military
crises and avenues for inadvertent escalation on air, sea, and land. Furthermore, this TTX
explored shifting geopolitical tensions, trigger events that warrant military responses, escalation
thresholds, and avenues for diffusion and de-escalation of the crisis.
