Complexities of Achieving Strategic Stability in Southern Asia: An Indian Perspective
The concept of strategic stability provides a framework for strengthening security in the nuclear age. This report explores the possibilities and constraints for achieving strategic stability in South Asia. The strained relationship between India, on the one hand, and Pakistan and China on the other makes it challenging to achieve such stability. Nevertheless, it is important to explore new options in a region that is frequently exposed to crises, and where some countries have nuclear weapons strategies that rely manipulating risks to bolster deterrence. The report discusses various measures that could weaken incentives for using nuclear weapons.

Brunei Darussalam: How to Build an Investment Climate for Renewable Energy?
Brunei Darussalam has yet to make major progress in renewable energy and become an attractive destination for investors. Only 0.05% of Brunei’s electricity came from renewable energy sources, while 99.95% was based on fossil fuels. In 2014, the country set a renewable energy target of 10% in the power generation mix by 2035. To reach the target, it needs to increase the share of renewables by 0.66% every year from 2020 to 2035. The country still needs to adopt a regulatory regime to scale up the development of renewable energy, particularly solar energy, which is more abundant than wind energy. We propose five actions to build the investment climate for renewable energy in Brunei Darussalam: prioritise renewable energy in the governance system; adopt and implement key legislation; mobilise domestic investors; improve market entry for foreign investors.
