Talk by Susmit Kumar on "Modernization of Islam and Unification of Human Civilization"	March 31, 2016		1100 hrs	Other	Speaker: Dr. Susmit Kumar Topic: Modernization of Islam and Unification of Human Civilization Venue: Board Room, First Floor Brief Bio Dr. Susmit Kumar obtained his Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University. Before coming to the United States, he was selected in the prestigious India Administrative Service (IAS) and did its training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussoorie, India (August 1985-March 1986). Dr. Kumar is the President of Kumar Consultancy. Dr. Kumar is the author ofThe Modernization of Islam and the Creation of a Multipolar World Order(Booksurge, January 2008). This book was an extension of his 1995 article published in Global Times, Denmark. In this article, based on the analysis of the social, political and religion environments in the Middle East, Dr. Kumar predicted the global rise of Islamic militancy due to the 1980s US intervention in Afghanistan, take over of Middle East and North African Islamic countries (including Saudi Arabia) by fundamentalist Muslims which may result in a temporary revival of Caliphate system and also its final outcome. In a1996 article(Global Times, Denmark), he wrote, "Afghanistan was a Waterloo for the U.S.S.R. but it might become a Frankenstein for the U.S." The current rise in Islamic militancy worldwide does not reflect Samuel Huntington’s "Clash of Civilizations,” but is instead a violent prelude to the modernization of Islam, and a major step toward the integration of human civilization.

Book Discussion on "Modi and the World: The Ring View Inside Out"	March 15, 2016		1500 hrs	Book Discussion Forum	Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s landslide victory in the general elections in May 2014 provided the potential for creating a broader framework for a bold and assertive foreign policy towards the South Asian region and beyond. In the last 18 months and more, India’s foreign policy challenges and opportunities have undergone change, influenced by rapid developments in the global situation, ranging from rising fundamentalism in West Asia to sharper territorial claims in the East. This has caused the Modi government to adopt a proactive, multi-faceted foreign policy, with a strong emphasis on improving relations with countries in the immediate and extended neighbourhood. As Prime Minister Modi completes his second year in office, there are several questions that merit elucidation. What will be the Prime Minister’s foreign policy objectives and priorities in 2016? How can he ensure peace and security in India’s immediate neighbourhood, amid myriad domestic economic and political challenges? Looking forward, what are prospects for India’s bilateral relations with Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka? Can PM engage China with a greater sense of confidence on the boundary issue and, at the same time, explore greater economic engagement? Has India been able to deepen her strategic partnership with Russia and Japan? How can PM, Mr Modi maximize India’s policy options in the Gulf and West Asia? In this context, IDSA will host a panel discussion on the theme ‘Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Foreign Policy: Challenges & Opportunities in Asia’ against the backdrop of the recently released book, Modi and The World: The Ring View Inside Out. Programme 1500 hrs – Welcome address 1505 hrs onwards – Panel discussion Chair: Ambassador Jayant Prasad, Director General, IDSA Panelists: Ambassador Aftab Seth; Prof Alka Acharya; Ambassador P Stobdan; Ambassador Ranjit Gupta 1630 hrs – Question and Answer Session 1645 hrs – Closing Remarks Chair Jayant Prasad is Director General, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi.

Alka Acharya - Director and Senior Fellow, Institute of Chinese Studies, Delhi. P Stobdan – Former Ambassador and currently Senior Fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi. Ranjit Gupta – Retired Indian Foreign Service officer who served as DCM in Saudi Arabia, Ambassador to Yemen and Oman and Head of the WANA Division in the Ministry of External Affairs.
Why China Trumps India in the Oil Industry in Angola and Nigeria?	March 11, 2016	Raj Verma		Fellows' Seminar	Chairperson: Ambassador Mahesh Sachdev (Retd.) External Discussants: Prof. Alka Acharya and Prof. Girijesh Pant Internal Discussant: Ms. Ruchita Beri The competition between China and India in Africa has been an important and recurrent theme of discussion within the academic community. The paper presented by Raj Verma contributes to the ongoing discussion by making a comparative study of the Chinese and Indian interests and stakes in the oil sectors of the two West African countries: Angola and Nigeria. In recent years, West Africa has emerged as a major energy producing region with Nigeria and Angola as major players. If Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa and has the second largest oil reserves, Angola is the second largest oil producer and has the third largest oil reserves. Proven oil reserves in Nigeria have increased from 23 billion barrels in 2001 to 37 billion barrels in 2015. In Angola, proven oil reserves have almost doubled from 5.4 billion barrels in 2001 to nine billion barrels in 2015. Oil production has also increased significantly in Angola. The paper seeks to explain why China’s national oil companies (NOCs) have been able to outperform Indian oil companies (both NOCs and private sector oil companies) in Angola and Nigeria. The paper identifies four reasons in this regard: first, the Chinese NOCs have more oil blocks in Angola and Nigeria compared to the Indian companies; second, NOCs from China are able to outbid Indian oil companies when they directly compete for the same oil block; third, Chinese NOCs are favoured as partners both by the African NOCs as well as the international oil companies (IOCs); and fourth, Chinese NOCs have access to better quality oil blocks compared to the Indian companies. These four reasons can be attributed to macro level and micro level factors. At macro level, the difference in the economic, political and diplomatic support received by the Chinese and Indian oil companies from their respective governments plays a huge role in China outperforming India in Angola and Nigeria. It is important to note that China has foreign exchange reserves of more than US$ 3.33 trillion compared to India’s modest US$ 348.93 billion. At micro level, access to capital, rate of return on investment, pricing of oil, risk aversion and ability to acquire technology are factors that place Chinese NOCs at an advantageous position. The Chinese NOCs have greater access to cheap capital than the Indian oil companies as they are able to borrow at 0-1 per cent interest rate domestically, whereas the cost of capital in the domestic market for Indian state owned enterprises including NOCs and private sector enterprises is 10-11 per cent. Moreover, the Chinese NOCs operate at lower rates of return on investment compared to the Indian oil companies. Similarly, while the Chinese NOCs operate at a margin of three to four per cent in general, the Indian NOCs operate at a margin of 10-11 per cent. Indian private enterprises operate at margins close to 18-20 per cent. The Chinese valuations of oil and investment is very high as it is able to take substantial risks due to massive financial resources available to it and hence are able to outbid India by shelving out vast amounts of money to acquire oil blocks. Chinese valuations of the oil blocks in Nigeria and Angola have been on the higher side as Chinese assume that their economy will keep growing at a high rate and the demand for oil will remain a primary mover of international oil prices. While Indian firms have better project management skills, Chinese are able to purchase technology with greater ease as they have colossal financial resources. Given this asymmetry of power and resources, it may be difficult for Indian oil companies and other corporations to compete with China in direct competitive bidding for oil assets in Africa. Discussion and Suggestions: While the paper presents a good empirical material, it needs to be interpreted theoretically. In the recent past, Chinese state owned enterprises have witnessed significant changes in terms of greater devolution of power taking place. China’s energy mix is going through a transformation due to factors such as climate change. In the next 10 to 15 years, India will become a major global energy player due its sustained economic growth. Taking into consideration these factors, their impact on the oil sector in Africa has to be analysed. Why China is not reluctant to invest in risky countries like Sudan and Iraq too needs to be analysed. Role of domestic institutions in China’s foreign policy making has to be understood in order to comprehend its decision making process for acquiring global energy assets. It is important to explore how change in strategic value of oil assets in coming years is likely to impact or transform China’s policy towards Africa. If perceptions matter, then it is important to analyse why India despite its rich historical connections and diaspora has not been able to sufficiently influence the perceptions of the African people. It should also be noted that Africans are getting disenchanted with Chinese companies as they bring their own labour and do not transfer technology to them. The African perspective on Chinese and Indian engagement in African oil industry needs to be properly understood. Africans are interested in diversifying their energy operators. The political aspect of the Indian and Chinese engagement in Angola and Nigeria needs to be factored in along with the economic aspect.

International Conference on India’s Role in Global Nuclear Governance	February 24, 2016 to February 26, 2016			Conference	IDSA-PRIO Conference Concept Note This conference brings together scholars working on global nuclear governance in India and abroad to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the emerging nuclear governance architecture. It focuses on how India can play a more proactive role as a driver of new ideas on the subject. In assessing India’s role in global nuclear governance, we seek to include both nuclear security issues and non-proliferation frameworks. The convergence will expose whether it is possible to envision a holistic nuclear governance and non-proliferation architecture. While preparing for the next Nuclear Security Summit, scheduled for 31 March – 1 April 2016, it is pertinent to review and discuss the roadmap and the Indian involvement for a robust nuclear security regime. This conference explores the possibility of developing a more comprehensive alternative to the fragmented nuclear security mechanisms today. Understanding global nuclear governance requires an investigation of a number of safety, security and safeguards mechanisms. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and multilateral export control regimes such as the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), Container Security Initiative (CSI) and UN Security Council Resolution 1540 are some prominent instruments of global nuclear governance. Nuclear Safety is an indispensable need for operation of any programme of nuclear science. Nuclear safety is an integral part of both domestic and global nuclear governance. A network of institutions such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and World Association of Nuclear Operators are in the forefront of global nuclear governance. These institutions supported development and implementation of regulatory mechanisms for nuclear safety. Several best practices for nuclear safety were devised in these institutions. The Fukushima incidents underlined the need for paying more attention to nuclear safety. The international community discussed the gap in the measures and mechanisms for nuclear safety. India has had a long association with nuclear safety even when it had some reservations on the need for nuclear security and the structure of safeguards. The United States President, Barack Obama, pushed nuclear security at the centre of global security governance in general and global nuclear governance in particular. The Nuclear Security Summit Process, initiated at the behest of the American President, galvanised global public opinion for nuclear security to counter nuclear and radiological terrorism. The two conventions for nuclear security had more members than before, yet ratification of the Amendment of the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Materials could not take place because of the absence of the required number. The support for different instruments of nuclear security increased after the first Nuclear Security Summit in 2010. India has been an active partner of the summit process. After the beginning of the summit process, the establishment of the Global Centre of Nuclear Energy Partnership (GCNEP) is the most notable of all the initiatives taken by India. The NPT is also a key instrument for global nuclear governance. A key problem with the NPT is that only the five permanent members of the UN Security Council are recognized as ‘nuclear weapon states’. Three states—India, Pakistan and Israel—have never signed the NPT. Although India, which is a nuclear weapon country, is not a signatory to the NPT, it is supportive of global nuclear disarmament. At the same time, India also has an ambitious programme for civilian uses of nuclear energy to meet its growing energy needs. India is currently considering thorium as a future substitute for fuelling its nuclear reactors. The conference has the following themes: Understanding Global Nuclear Governance Challenges and Opportunities for Global Nuclear Governance India and Global Nuclear Governance Multilateral Export Control Regimes and India Nuclear Security, the Summit Process and Global Nuclear Governance The 2016 Nuclear Security Summit and After: Setting the agenda Existing Nuclear Security Institutions: Coordination and Integration Role of Civil Society in Nuclear Security Download Conference Report Programme Day 1 (February 24, 2016) 0930-1000: Registration 1000-1030: Inaugural Session Chair: Jayant Prasad Opening Address by Shri Amandeep Singh Gill, Joint Secretary, Disarmament & International Security Affairs, Ministry of External Affairs 1030-1045 Tea/Coffee break 1045-1300 Session-1: Understanding Global Nuclear Governance Global Nuclear Governance- an oft-used phrase- at times, means differently for its users. Dominant writings on the subject restrict the scope of the phrase to safety, security and non-proliferation. However, a strong section of the international policy making community wants nuclear disarmament part of global nuclear governance. The session will discuss different perspectives on Global Nuclear Governance. The idea will be to examine whether different perspectives can have some common areas to start implementing the idea of global nuclear governance. Chair : C Uday Bhaskar SPEAKERS Trevor Findlay -- Principal Fellow , School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne WPS Sidhu -- Non Resident Senior fellow, Brookings India Shalini Chawla Senior Fellow, Centre for Air Power Studies Anna Sliwon -- Consultant, British Pugwash 1300 Luncheon Address by Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of State, Prime Minister Office 1330-1415 Lunch 1415-1615 Session-2: Challenges and Opportunities for Global Nuclear Governance With the evolution of the idea of Global Nuclear Governance, the international community is finding its usefulness for managing diverse activities of nuclear science and technology. Different sections of the international community are participating in global nuclear governance. The participation of civil society and the global expert community has immensely benefited global nuclear governance. Still, for global nuclear governance to become really effective and functioning, the international community has to confront some key challenges. Institutions and processes of global nuclear governance need to be well co-ordinated and properly funded. The technological solution is another challenge. The session will discuss challenges and opportunities for global governance. Chair: RR Subramanian SPEAKERS Cindy Vestergaard -- Senior Researcher, International Security at the Danish Institute for International Studies G Balachandran -- Consulting Fellow, IDSA Rajesh Rajagopalan -- Professor of International Politics, Centre for International Politics, Organisation and Disarmament, Jawaharlal Nehru University Patricia Lewis -- Research Director, International Security The Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House 1615-1630 Tea/Coffee break 1630-1830 Session-3: Global Nuclear Governance and India India supports the idea of global governance. Since the idea of global governance in general and global nuclear governance in particular is still evolving, India, so far, has associated itself with the current general understanding of global governance. India has contributed to global nuclear governance in most of the international institutions meant for global nuclear governance. India has also participated in the making and implementation of the regimes for global nuclear governance. The international community expects a rising power like India to shape the very evolution of global governance by addressing challenges it is facing now. This session will discuss how India is approaching global nuclear governance and how it can contribute to meeting challenges of global nuclear governance. Chair : Virendra Gupta SPEAKERS Arvind Awati -- Scientist, Department of Atomic Energy, Mumbai Reynaldo Morales, Former Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico Steinar Hoibraten -- Chief Scientist, Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) Roshan Khaniejo -- Senior Research Fellow & Research Coordinator, United Service Institution of India Day-2 (February 25, 2016) 1000-1200 Session-4: Multilateral Export Control Regimes and India Multilateral export control regimes are important centers for managing global commerce in high technology items. The Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Australia Group and the Wassenaar Arrangement are the four relevant multilateral export control regimes in the contemporary world. In the twenty first century, the world is witnessing changes in these regimes. Although these regimes still have a small membership base, yet over the years, it is attracting members from the developing world as well. India is seeking membership of these export controls regimes. The session will discuss how the Indian membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Missile Technology Control Regime is going to contribute to global nuclear governance. Chair: K Santhanam SPEAKERS Ian Stewart -- Senior Research Fellow, Department of War Studies , King's College London Arvind Madhavan -- Director, Disarmament & International Security Affairs, Ministry of External Affairs Benjamin Hautecouverture -- Research Fellow ,Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique , Paris Anupam Srivastava -- Director of the Asia Program, Center for International Trade and Security, University of Georgia 1200-1215 Tea/Coffee Break 1215-1315 Session-5: The Way Forward Chair: C Raja Mohan Panel Discussion Dr.Sheel Kant Sharma -- Former Secretary General of SAARC Bruno Hellendorff, Researcher, Group for Research and Information on Peace and Security (GRIP ) Priyanjali Malik -- Independent researcher 1315-1400 Lunch Focus: Nuclear Security and India 1400-1430 Opening Session: Nuclear Security Chair: Jayant Prasad Opening Address: R B Grover -- Vice-Chancellor, Homi Bhabha National Institute Nuclear terrorism has emerged as a serious threat to global security. International efforts are on to secure vulnerable nuclear materials, disintegrating black markets, and detect, intercept and recover illicitly trafficked materials. The process towards global nuclear security architecture that is comprehensive and based on international standards needs to be further strengthened. This enhances international confidence in nations’ nuclear security implementation and also helps reduce global stocks of nuclear weapons-usable materials. India has been playing an active role in strengthening the global nuclear security architecture. 1430-1630 Session-1: Nuclear Security, the Summit Process and Global Nuclear Governance Considering nuclear terrorism a serious international security issue, the Nuclear Security Summits intend to raise awareness among governments and civil society and galvanise them into securing vulnerable nuclear material from falling into the hands of Non state actors and pre-vent proliferation of nuclear weapons. The three Nuclear Summits held at Washington(2010), Seoul (2012) and the Hague (2014) have generated a lot of positive momentum and have achieved tangible improvements in the security of nuclear materials and encouraged the development of stronger international institutions that support nuclear security. The International Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and International convention on the suppression of acts of nuclear terrorism besides the landmark UNSC resolution 1540 found more members. India has enthusiastically participated in the summits and contributed to global nuclear governance. The session will review the nuclear security scenario. It will also review the contribution of the summit process to nuclear security and global nuclear governance. Chair: S. Gangotra SPEAKERS Vladimir Rybachenkov -- Senior Research Associate, Center for Arms Control, Energy and Environmental Studies, Moscow K.L. Ramakumar -- Distinguished Scientist and Head, Nuclear Controls and Planning Wing, Department of Atomic Energy Ranajit Kumar -- Head Physical Protection Systems Section, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre 1630-1645 Tea/Coffee Break 1645-1830 Session-2: The 2016 Nuclear Security Summit and After: Setting the agenda The upcoming nuclear security summit in Washington could be the last of the four and there is a marked urgency to institutionalise a permanent mechanism to address global nuclear security concerns. How successfully have states followed up on pledges of the previous summits and which institution will lead the agenda beyond Washington (2016)? It is expected that the IAEA’s role at the helm of the non-proliferation regime is only slated to be-come all the more indispensable thereafter. India continues to contribute towards a comprehensive nuclear security architecture that will strengthen nuclear governance and increase the confidence of the nuclear security regime. Should the summit process be restructured? Does the international community need a new institution? Should the world have a new regime? Or should we adapt the existing mechanisms for new challenges and requirements? The session will discuss ideas for the 2016 summit and how to steer activities after-wards in different international organisations and forums. Chair: K.L. Ramakumar SPEAKERS Vitaly Fedchenko -- Senior Researcher , European Security Programme, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute Anil Kumar -- Inspector General (Security) , Department of Atomic Energy H P Nawada -- Scientific Officer, Nuclear Controls and Planning Wing, Department of Atomic Energy Day-3 (February 26, 2016) 1000-1200 Session-3: Existing Nuclear Security Institutions: Coordination and Integration The Nuclear Security Summits witnessed the resolve by states to establish Centres of Excellence (COE) across the globe that will provide world-class research, training and education on various nuclear security topics. The GCNEP (Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership) that is coming up in India is slated to provide the ideal platform to strengthen the various dimensions of nuclear security in India. Some of the other COE’s include EU Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CBRN CoEs),Pakistan’s Centre of Excellence for Nuclear Security (PCENS), Middle East Scientific Institute for Security (MESIS) and Japan’s Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN).The smooth interface among the above and IAEA is deemed crucial. The session will discuss how to enhance coordination among different international, multilateral, regional, and national bodies working for nuclear security. It will also discuss whether the international community can integrate their efforts. Chair: Arvind Awati SPEAKERS Luca Lentini -- Project Coordinator & Research Associate, Centre for Science and Security Studies, King’s College London Reshmi Kazi -- Associate Fellow, IDSA Y.S. Mayya -- Project Director, Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership 1200-1215 Tea/Coffee Break 1215-1330 Session-4: Role of Civil Society in Nuclear Security Role of civil society is pivotal in any regime. Who are the various actors among the civil society and how have they transformed the discourse on nuclear security? Some Intergovernmental organisations have made the discourse on nuclear security richer and relevant and are helping chalk out the agenda and strengthening the existing global nuclear security architecture. The Fissile Material Working Group--a coalition of non-governmental organisations—has spearheaded the campaign for nuclear security. This can play a different kind of role in organizing the global expert community and undertaking new tasks after the end of the possible summit process. The session will discuss the future role for international, regional and national non-governmental organisations.
