revival of the USA’s interests in the region

 A Nuclear Pakistan has much better power in the
regional and global context

 Nuclear arsenal of Pakistan is also suspected to be in
danger to Nuclear proliferation by US
 It is for this reason that US and other Global players have
started to get engaged in the settlement efforts in the

Sub-continent,

fronts as the dominant drivers of conflicts in next few

decades
 The wars are likely to be irregular in nature with low

 also, the religious extremist groups will be bringing more
number of frustrated youth into their fold
 The negative fallout of these groups will not only harm
Pakistan
 but will have immediate fall over effects on the neighboring
states
b. Effects of Loose Nuclear Technology:

Pakistan will have a loose control over its nuclear arsenal

ill-su.ited to world and regional peace
