Sino-Pak nuclear collaboration

ASHLEY TELLIS of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace recommends that Washington should lead forcefully in urging China to rethink its plans to sell civilian nuclear reactors to Pakistan claiming that Beijing had a lot at stake if it chose to renege on its NSG obligations. In an opinion piece for the Wall Street, "Stop the Sino-Pak Nuclear Pact", he states that China's plans had raised alarms in foreign capitals given Pakistan's fragile leadership, and an implicit threat to withhold the forms of cooperation that China desire would convince Beijing to reconsider its decision.

LeT in Pakistan's strategy

ASHLEY TELLIS of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace states that Lashkar-e-Taiba's global presence and its sponsorship by the Pakistani military and ISI due to a similar ethnic composition and ideological sympathies enhanced the prospect of major war and global consequences. In an article for Yale Global, "Pakistan and the Afghanistan End Game", he states that Washington had now reached the conclusion that LeT represents a threat to America’s national interests while Pakistan's military leaders continued to harbor the illusion that their current strategy of unleashing terrorism would enervate India, push it out of Afghanistan, and weaken US stabilization efforts there and such a strategy would come to nought.

How to remain Sheriff ?

ASHLEY TELLIS of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace calls on the US and the West to pursue twin objectives of deepening globalization while simultaneously investing in preserving its military superiority in the wake of increasing Chinese national power. In a paper for the German Marshall Fund "Power Shift: How the West Can Adapt and Thrive in an Asian Century", he prescribes increasing coordination between the transatlantic allies to ensure deepening economic interdependence, multifaceted diplomatic engagement of Beijing not being hostage to single-issue politics such as human rights etc. and continued enhancement of the national power and the constituent military prowess of the United States as the global arbiter of security.

U.S-India 3.0

Ashley Tellis of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace avers that it was imperative that the United States and India agree on India's vital security concerns, Terrorism, Kashmir, and Asia's balance of power to ensure a deepening in their bilateral relations. In a policy brief "The United States and India 3.0: Cave! Hic Dragones", he states that although there is an active U.S.-India partnership in areas such as education, energy, science and technology, heathcare, and women's empowerment, U.S.-India agreement on India's key strategic concerns was vital or substantive movement on U.S. priorities of climate change, nonproliferation, and economic and defense cooperation.
