Dear Student IPPNW members,

called the Daisy Alliance.
$1,000-1st

$500-2nd
Prize $250-3rd Prize
"South
Asia at a Tipping Point"
Many experts argue that hostility between Pakistan and India, weak political
conditions in Pakistan, the Afghan war, an assertive Pakistani military, and the
possession of nuclear weapons, all place strains on stability that make South
Asia the gravest threat to peace and security in the world today. Do you agree
with this assessment, or would you argue that potential nuclear states, such as
Iran or North Korea, pose a greater threat? Support your position by considering
regional politics and stability, religious/social/cultural tensions, historical
conflicts, and relationships with major powers.
Your essay should be at least 8 pages, double spaced, excluding footnotes and
bibliography, and must use appropriate scholarly resources (Note-Wikipedia is
not an acceptable academic source). Essays will be judged based on quality,
including a clear thesis statement and strong support for your argument. Papers
must be submitted via email by April 4, 2011 in English as Word file to Bruce Roth,
Executive Director of Daisy Alliance. Be sure to include your
name, mailing address, school name, and grade. There is no grade level
requirement to enter, you just need to be enrolled as an undergraduate or
graduate student in any country. If you have questions, please email Holly Lindamood
or call 770-261-4274.
