CNA

The CNA Corporation is a non-profit research organization that operates the Center for Naval Analyses and the Institute for Public Research. This project will examine the security implications of water scarcity in the Brahmaputra river basin in China, India and Bangladesh, with the objective of informing dimensions of larger Sino-Indian bilateral ties. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, it will analyze political relations among the three countries, apply lessons learned from existing water-security gaming exercises conducted by CNA, and utilize findings from facilitated roundtables in Bangladesh, China and India to suggest possible solutions to water scarcity issues and political tensions among the three states.
