Author to discuss security policies concerning Asia

Michael Krepon, co-founder of the Henry L. Stimson Center, will speak about the U.S. security policy in South Asia and the nuclear dangers in that particular region to the UTA chapter of the Americans for Informed Democracy on Wednesday.

Krepon will speak at 7:30 p.m. in the University Center’s Rio Grande Ballroom.

The center, a nonprofit, nonpartisan institution devoted to taking pragmatic steps toward ideal objectives, was founded in 1989 specializing in threat reduction and international security issues where policy, technology and politics intersect.

Krepon’s interests include South Asia and the Kashmir dispute, nuclear risk reduction, strategic arms control, missile defenses and the utilization of confidence-building measures to alleviate tensions and promote reconciliation.

Krepon has donated his expertise to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and others. He also authored Strategic Stalemate, Nuclear Weapons and Arms Control in American Politics and Space Assurance or Space Dominated? The Case Against Weaponizing Space.

Americans for Informed Democracy is a non-partisan global student organization that raises awareness in the United States about world opinions with the goal of promoting a more multilateral American foreign policy.
