| 11th IDSA-IPIS Bilateral Dialogue - Geo-Strategic Dynamics in West Asia: India-Iran Cooperation | December 03, 2015 to December 04, 2015 | 1030 to 1300 hrs | Bilateral |
The Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA), in collaboration with Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS), Tehran is organizing a two day bilateral dialogue on 3-4 December 2015 at the IDSA. The forthcoming bilateral dialogue (11th in the series), will focus on “Geo-Strategic Dynamics in West Asia: India-Iran Cooperation”. Concept NoteMajor developments are taking place in the geo-political landscape of the West Asian region. Amidst the great uncertainty, the region has become the epicentre of the global attention. In past three years, the conflict in Iraq and Syria have intensified, the Yemen crisis continues to persist without any solution, and violent activities of Daesh ( or IS) and its increasing influence beyond the West Asian region has become a major challenge. Besides, Russia’s renewed interest and military intervention in Syria to fight Daesh has exposed the region to completely new situation reflecting the complexities of external interventions. The Iran-US détente has been a positive development in the region. However, the future of Iran-US relations is not yet very clear. These new developments have exposed India and Iran to completely new set of challenges, issues and conditions. India and Iran have a long history of engagement. Over the past few years, both countries have been struggling to manage their energy and economic ties under the shadow of the US and EU sanctions. The new regional situation is, however, much more amenable for constructive engagement between Iran and India. Iran’s improving ties with the US, its growing regional profile, and India’s deep desire to cement its ties with Iran offer great potential for enhanced cooperation between India and Iran. These new developments demand a fresh look at the bilateral relations between India and Iran in the context of the regional geopolitical complexities. More importantly, the current uncertainties in Afghanistan and Pakistan and increasing violence and upsurge of extremist forces like Daesh in West Asian region are not in the interests of India and Iran. These emerging new security challenges in the region demand India and Iran to jointly address these common challenges and work towards cementing their bilateral ties. Both countries are important regional actors and can play a significant role in maintaining regional security. It is in this context that IDSA and IPIS have decided to host the 11th Bilateral Dialogue on the theme “Geo-Strategic Dynamics in West Asia: India-Iran Cooperation”. In past, the IDSA-IPIS Strategic dialogues at Track II level have provided a platform for Indian and Iranian experts to exchange ideas on regional security and how they affect India-Iran bilateral relations. The dialogue will deliberate on the following issues over two sessions: Session I: Changing Security Paradigm in West Asia and AfghanistanSession II: India-Iran Engagement after Nuclear Deal: prospects and ChallengesTentative ProgrammeDay I - Thursday, December 03, 2015 1500-1505hrs: Registration & Tea 1505-1530hrs: Inaugural Session 1530-1730 hrs: Session I: Changing Security Paradigm in West Asia and AfghanistanChair: Dr Mostafa Zahrani Day II - Friday, December 04, 2015 0945-1000hrs: Tea 1000-1300hrs: Session II: India-Iran Engagement after Nuclear Deal: Prospects and ChallengesChair: Shri Jayant Prasad 1300-1400hrs: Lunch |

| Sixth Y.B. Chavan Memorial Lecture - Make in India: The Way Ahead for Indigenous Defence Production in India | December 07, 2015 | 1600 to 1715 hrs | Speeches and Lectures |
Speaker : Shri AK Gupta, Secretary (Defence Production), Ministry of Defence, Government of India Press Release [+]Complete Text Speech [+]Programme |
‘China: Behind the Miracle’ is an easy-to-read, comprehensive account of the economic story of China. It explains various aspects of the Chinese economy in ten chapters, using examples from a particular city or region. The book will walk the reader through the Chinese economic landscape, the economy’s strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Most people world-over have a single dimensional understanding of China as a country with cheap labour-driven manufacturing and exports. This book will enable a multi-dimensional understanding of China as a country which unleashed its economic growth through a cleverly driven strategy of inviting foreign investments to leverage on a supply of cheap land and labour, while encouraging domestic enterprises to become big and absorb foreign technologies. A country that is now transitioning from an old investment heavy, export driven growth model to one driven by higher value addition in manufacturing, services and a strong domestic demand.
