The course was attended by NATO military officers from Turkey, Montenegro, Kuwait, Jordan, Romania, and Czech Republic among others.<\/p>\n<p>Moeed delivered two lectures, one on Regional Implications of WMD in South-West Asia: Pakistan and India and another on Role of Armed Forces in Preventing WMD Terrorism. On the panel, Moeed spoke on Pakistan\u2019s Counterterrorism Strategy. In the first lecture, he explained the implications of nuclearization of South Asia. He argued that while nuclear deterrence may have prevented all out war between Pakistan and India, it has not brought peace to the region. He forecasted an unstable strategic regime for South Asia in years to come. The second lecture focused on the various roles armed forces can play in preventing nuclear and biological terrorism. He presented Pakistan\u2019s protocol to ensure safety and security of its nuclear arsenal as a model to follow for other developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>Moeed is also a Doctoral candidate and Senior Teaching Fellow at Boston University\u2019s Political Science Department and is currently teaching a course on International Political Economy at the University\u2019s Department of International Relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pardee Center Research Fellow Moeed Yusuf delivered two lectures and spoke at a panel discussion at the Center of Excellence- Defense Against Terrorism, a NATO think-tank based in Ankara, Turkey.
