We are witnessing a resurgence of Asia\, Africa and Latin America. Growth and development have not only made the countries more interdependent\, but new and increasingly complex challenges have also arisen. For multilateralism to remain relevant and effective in today’s world\, multilateral institutions must adapt and reform to reflect contemporary geo-political realities. \nNo multilateral body is more in need of reform than the United Nations Security Council which is still constituted in accordance with the geopolitical architecture of 1945. The lack of reform has affected the credibility and effectiveness of the Security Council as seen in a number of new crises afflicting the world. \nThe constituency for reforms has been increasing by the day. An overwhelming majority of countries have supported the demand for an urgent reform and expansion of the Security Council in both permanent and non-permanent categories of its membership. \nBrazil\, Germany\, India and Japan have come together on the platform of G-4 to pursue the much needed and urgent Security Council reform and to make it more broadly representative\, efficient and transparent and thus enhance its effectiveness and the legitimacy of its decisions. G-4 countries have reached out to all regional groups to find a path that will reflect the dominant call by Member States for a reform of the Security Council leading to an expansion in both categories of membership\, permanent and non permanent. The G-4 initiative enjoys broad and cross regional support. G-4 countries reaffirmed their view of the importance of developing countries\, in particular Africa\, to be represented in both the permanent and non-permanent categories of an enlarged Council. G-4 countries have also welcomed the initiative taken by the current President of the General Assembly\, H.E. John W. Ashe\, to issue a Non Paper which faithfully reflects the current status of the discussions in the past five years\, as a basis for text based negotiations in the 10th round of Intergovernmental Negotiations currently underway in New York. \nThe debate on expansion of the Council has been going on for a few decades with a consensus still eluding the international community. The time has now come to move ahead from words to action and take a decision on the way forward based on the wishes of majority of the UN membership. Given that world leaders agreed at the 2005 World Summit to achieve an ‘early’ reform of the Security Council\, it is imperative that the world community work together for a concrete result before the 70th anniversary Summit of the United Nations in 2015. \nG-4 countries have recognised the need for greater involvement of civil society\, the media and academia in the discussions on Security Council reform. In this context\, IDSA is organising a seminar on the “United Nations Security Council Reform: Perspectives and Prospects” on February 12\, 2014. \nProgramme\n1000h – 1040h Inaugural Session\n1000h-1005h Opening Remarks by Dr. Arvind Gupta\, DG\, IDSA \n1005h-1020h Keynote Address by Mrs. Sujatha Singh\, Foreign Secretary\, GOI \nSpeakers \n1020h-1025h Amb Paulo Roberto Tarrisse da Fontoura\, Head\, IO Division\, Brazil (tbc)\n1025h-1030h Ms. Ina Lepel\, DDG for Global Issues\, Germany\n1030h-1035h Mr Yutaka Arima\, Director\, United Nations Policy Division\, Foreign Policy Affairs Bureau\, Japan\n1035h-1040h Mr Navtej Sarna\, SS (IO)\, MEA\, India \n1040h – 1100h Tea \n1100h – 1230h Session I: Perspectives on Reform\nThe first session will focus on the challenges in expansion of the UNSC\, the role of the P-5 and other groupings\, the use of veto and effectiveness of the UNSC\nModerator: Dr. Arvind Gupta\, DG\, IDSA\nSpeakers (15 minutes each)\n-Amb Prakash Shah\, Former PR\, PMI\, New York\n-Prof CSR Murthy\, School of International Studies\, JNU\n-Prof Varun Sahni\, School of International Studies\, JNU\nDiscussion \n1230h – 1330h Lunch \n1330h – 1530h Session II: The Way Forward: Achieving UNSC Reform by 2015\nThe second session will focus on the on-going processes for UN Security Council Reform\, such as G-4 interaction with the L69 and other groups\, intergovernmental and text based negotiations and outreach to Africa.\nModerator : Mr. Navtej Sarna\, SS (IO)\, MEA\nSpeakers (15 minutes each)\n-Amb Hardeep Puri\, Former PR\, PMI\, New York\n-Amb BS Prakash\, Former Ambassador\, Embassy of India\, Brazil\n-Ms Ruchita Beri\, Senior Research Associate\, IDSA\nDiscussion \n1530h-1545h Tea \n1545h-1615h Session III: India and the UN\nThe third session will focus on the contributions that India has made to the UN multilateral system\, in both the spheres of development and peace and security.\nModerator: Shri.

Expressions like the ‘Indo-Pacific’ and ‘Asia-Pacific’\, contested they maybe\, capture Asia’s expanse and dynamism. But for one brief and dramatic financial crisis in 1997\, growth rates in Asia have been averaging well above the rest of the world. The rise of China along with the increasing global footprint of Russia and India in G20 and the ASEAN states soaring economies have made Asia the powerhouse and centre of gravity. Yet\, Asia struggles with numerous conflicts in spite of its ‘alphabet soup’ of regional organisations and security structures. \n Changes are happening fast in Asia and changing not only the geo-political landscape but also the mindset of the people who are pushing for political reforms and accountability. The global power shifts being witnessed is also potentially prising up Asia to confrontation as well as convergence as states compete. China is an important piece of the puzzle and its rise is a defining line of the changing landscape. How will China define its national interest in the future? Will it pursue an assertive\, even aggressive policy in Asia to back up its territorial claims? Or will China\, assured of its great power status practice moderation and restraint? Importantly\, how should India and other key states in Asia respond to China’s continuous rise and influence – should the response be as a strategic competitor with a policy of confrontation or a containment approach through active cooperation? \n From a strategic grand view\, the balance of power is uncertain in Asia. A sizeable US military presence continues and the Obama administration´s policy involves strengthening US military alliance and strategic partnerships and simultaneously repositioning forces. China would be far from assured that the ‘rebalancing’ is not directed towards it thus opening up the region to power play and rivalry in the East China Sea and South China Sea. A resultant increase in military expenditure and modernisation and a thrust towards new technologies will spur many countries. \n The numerous stress-lines and fault-lines expose Asia to many potential flash-points. Unresolved territorial issues stand between India and China\, Vietnam and China\, China and Russia\, Russia and Japan. North Korea and Taiwan may trigger-off unmanageable crises. West Asia continues to be restive threatening to tear apart the socio-political fabric. Of the four Asian nuclear powers\, North Korea and Pakistan are highly suspect nuclear proliferators involved in covert supply of missile technology. The China-Japan rivalry reveals dangerous chauvinism. At the same time\, the two largest populated countries – China and India – referred to as ‘planetary powers’ surging need for energy and raw materials for its 2.5 billion people creates new areas of resource friction. Resource scarcity will not only be related to physical shortage but more possibly from failure of governance. \n Asia’s economies are increasingly vital to each other and to the world with both the US and Europe continuing to post low GDP growth. The economic shift is shaping two different approaches to trade liberalization in Asia. One paved by the ASEAN-led Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the other by the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and it has to be seen how these approaches will determine the economic choices in the coming years. While\, at one level\, certain investment and trade barriers will continue to hinder business in Asia\, at another\, poverty eradication will have to remain an essence of economic growth for Asian countries. The economies in Asia have to continuously grow fast along with being sustainable and inclusive. Other challenges that equally impact the economy are an increased number of natural disasters that interrupt the supply chain\, security concerns emanating from terrorism and cyber security\, where hacking\, espionage and lack of privacy fuel concerns for companies as well as politicians and governments. \n For India\, the emerging geopolitical and geo-economic trends raise questions as to how it will lock into the new continental power matrix and how it will respond and reappraise to the changes. \n Asia is on the threshold of change — the known and unknown; opportunities and uncertainties abound. Such times also offer an excellent chance to concentrate on the dynamics of change\, to search for new ways of understanding\, and to prepare for a future that is certainly set to surprise. \n Against this backdrop\, the 16th annual Asian Security Conference (ASC) to be held at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses\, New Delhi\, in February 2014 will deliberate the emerging strategic trends in Asia and unravel the challenges and opportunities. \nDay One\n Session1: Asia’s Geopolitical Future\n Central to the future of stability in Asia is how the rise of China is impacting the balance of power. China is now strong enough to challenge US’ leadership in Asia. But it is not clear as to what kind of new order would emerge. One possibility is a contested order framed by US and China strategic rivalry. The Chinese dominance might push other Asian powers into alliance with US making the landscape polarized. On the other hand\, the US stays engaged in Asia\, without being assertive and allowing for a ‘concert of powers’ as a counter weight to China’s power in the Indo-Pacific. Regional institutions are important prescription for bolstering Asia’s stability but raises doubts on whether such multilateral structures have the capability to absorb the shocks and resolve conflicts. This session will explore Asia’s geopolitical future\, the various scenarios that might emerge and the conditions for stability. \n Session 2: Military Trends in Asia \n While Asia has seen a growth of regional institutions yet\, Asian countries’ military expenditures tell a tale of escalating security competition and the recent claims in South China Sea suggest that regional mechanisms don’t necessarily lower the temperature. China’s military budget accounts for nearly half of all the military spending in the region. Japan\, on the other hand\, has increased its defence spending\, partly as a reality check to China and partly as a response to US defence cuts. Many of the US allies in Asia under US protection will have to accept more risks and boost their military capabilities. How will the Asian countries military modernisation impact the region? What are the perceived external threats and how is it impacting the military doctrines? What implications does the military expenditure have on future force structure and strategic posturing? \n Session 3: Economic Global Shift towards Asia\n The world’s economic centre of gravity has shifted to Asia with the rapid economic development seen in China\, India and other Asian countries along with the economic problems experienced in Europe and the US. Urbanization will be a key trend of the rapidly growing economies in Asia. The global economic shift is bringing forth opportunities and challenges. What are the responses of key economic and political institutions in Asia\, particularly in India and China? Should India follow China´s example and turn its attention towards boosting domestic consumption rather than foreign trade? Questions about how the old developed economies (the West) will react and whether Asia’s current economic model is sustainable will equally emerge. Will there be a slowing with major adjustments or a collapse? What levels of impact will the changing demography particularly the growing middle class and the aging population have on the economy? This session will examine how the changes will shape the economic and business contours in Asia? \n Day 2\n Session 4: Resource Stress in Asia\n One of Asia’s major concerns centres on resource security. Food\, energy\, water and climate are intricately linked and further impacted by price\, availability and quality. Population growth\, urbanization\, and industrialization are exacerbating resource-related stresses. Asia includes about 56 per cent of world’s population and depends on 31 per cent of arable land and by 2030 the continent will have 5 billion people. Understanding the resource dynamics is useful to the political economy particularly as competition for natural resources among Asian nations intensifies. Will it bring the continent to a dangerous crossroads of dependence\, geopolitical tension and environmental degradation? What trade-offs and at what appropriate scale (regional\, national\, sub-national) will be required to ease resource pressure? Is the framing of resource policies particularly complementary to rights-based development approaches? \n Session 5: Ocean Governance in the Indo-Pacific\n With the economic power shift to Asia\, the Indo-Pacific region is fast becoming the centre of trade\, investment and cooperation. The region contains close to half the world’s population and provides several of the world’s most important choke-points for global commerce including the Strait of Malacca. Clearly the region is recognised for its economic dynamism and geo-strategic importance. Many inter-state disputes are maritime in nature\, both due to the many unsettled maritime boundaries as a consequence of the enactment of UNCLOS\, and the tendency towards unrestrained exploitation of maritime resources with little regard for territorial jurisdictions. A legal framework and multilateral agreements are critical in managing communal global resources such as the high seas but fear of regional hegemony is likely to hinder support for the establishment of ocean governance\, particularly among the weaker countries. The session will discuss the legal obligations\, impact of institutional arrangements and strengthening governance over maritime resources. \n Session 6: Assessing Risks: Cyber and Critical Infrastructure\n In today’s interconnected world\, states share risks and vulnerabilities. Some of the biggest security challenges will come from the cyber space. Singapore and Indonesia have already taken steps towards setting up cyber commands. As cyber-attacks and hacktivism increase\, challenges to information sharing will mount. Against this backdrop\, how then will governments and policing bodies cooperate on law enforcement and sharing information? Policies towards preventions\, precautions and preparedness plans will be examined. The session will also explore critical infrastructure protection and government coordination highlighting in particular the increased reliance upon technology systems in public and private infrastructure and hence vulnerability to new forms of cyberterrorism and attacks. The lens will also shift to civil-military cooperation and how ‘calling out the troops’ to combat emergencies occurs in countries. \nDay 3\n Session 7: India’s ResponsePanel Discussion\n The big question is how India is responding to the strategic changes in Asia? China sits atop the power pyramid with its physical size\, military capability and economic clout that combines to assert regional dominance. Powers like India would not like to easily cede the hegemonic space to China but\, at the same time\, would realise that its power is pervasive and difficult to counter balance. The arrangement possibly would be for India to trade and invest intensely with China while seeking a security alliance with the US. Will India follow this path? How is India as an emerging power looked at in the region? Can India be a guarantor/balancer or will it be seen as an opponent? A careful reappraisal of Asia’s emerging strategic dynamics\, a hard-headed assessment of what India’s interests are and a considered approach to fulfilling these interests should deeply engage academia and policy makers. The session will explore the pillars on which India can build a more comprehensive\, forward-looking and proactive Asia policy. \n\n\n\n\nProgramme Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 1: February 19\n\n\n\n10.00-10.35\nInaugural Session\n\n\n10.00-10.05\nWelcome Address by DG\, IDSA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.05-10.30\nAddress by the Hon’ble Governor of West Bengal\n\n\n10.30-10.35\nVote of Thanks\n\n\n \n \n\n\n10.35-11.00\nTea\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n11.00-13.00\nSession 1: Asia’s geopolitical future\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nChairperson: Arvind Gupta \nYan Xuetong : The bipolarization in East Asia\nSujit Dutta: Asia’s power transition: uncertain future of stability and peace\nTakenori Horimoto: How is power transition in Asia taking place?\nMichael Wesley: Restless giants: Asia’s new geopolitics\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n13.00-14.00\nLunch\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n14.00-16.00\nSession 2: Military trends in Asia\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nChairperson: Satish Nambiar \nFumio Ota: Chinese military expansion and other Asian states’ reaction\nAndrew Scobell: What is driving Asian aircraft carrier programs?

The primary participants in the event will be members of civil society who have identified effective practices. The audience will also include officials positioned to adopt or enact these effective practices. The event is hosted by the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses\, Institute for Strategic Studies\, King’s College London (Project Alpha) and the UN Office of Disarmament affairs. \nBackground\nWhen the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1540 on 28 April 2004\, expectations for its effective implementation were low. The resolution was intended to assist those States that were willing to support the goals of the resolution but which lacked the legal basis through which to do so. The UNSCR 1540 Committee was set up to help Member States\, and other stakeholders\, to implement the resolution. The UN Security Council subsequently extended the mandate of the 1540 Committee three times. Most recently\, on April 2011\, the mandate of the committee was extended for a period of ten years to 2021. The key challenges to overcome during this longer mandate are those surrounding effective implementation of the resolutions requirements. \nUNSCR 1540 has many achievements to its credit. In the decade since 1540’s adoption\, progress has been realised in expanding the geographical coverage of certain elements of the resolutions requirements and in improving the level of implementation in individual states. Under the auspices of UNSCR 1540 the legislative framework of numerous countries has been improved. Countries such as Malaysia have\, for the first time\, adopted trade control acts while many others have improved specific aspects of their legal system. \nThe UNSCR 1540 committee has been instrumental in enabling the improved legal adherence to the resolution’s requirements. Through its work the 1540 Committee has also helped to establish 1540 as a framework for cooperation amongst States\, civil society and non-state actors alike in ensuring that the balance between security and prosperity is maintained. Several member countries spread over different geographical regions have received technical assistance to create or strengthen national control and security structures. For this purpose\, the Committee and member states have involved relevant international\, regional and sub-regional organizations. \nHowever\, the success of UNSCR 1540 as an instrument to strengthen legal frameworks has led directly to a new need for the implementation of national legislation to be improved. The adoption of laws cannot alone deliver upon the objectives of 1540. The challenge for the international community\, therefore\, in the second decade since the resolution’s adoption is to match the improvements in legal basis with improvements in implementation. It is in this context that there is a need to identify effective practices. \nObjectives of the Workshop:\n\nThe main workshop objective is to identify effective practices that could provide solutions to the implementation challenges of 1540’s export control provisions. \nThe workshop will also provide some insights into the geographical implementation of Resolution 1540. \nThe other purpose of the workshop is to analyse the challenges and opportunities faced by the UNSCR 1540 Committee in supporting implementation (as opposed to supporting the development of legislative frameworks).
