SUMMARY:IDSA-GIGA Conference on Changing Asia 2017:  Perspectives on Regional and Global Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:The “Changing Asia 2017: Perspective on Regional and Global Cooperation”\, the second conference of the high-profile biannual Changing Asia conference series\, is being organised jointly by IDSA and GIGA on September 15-18\, 2017 at IDSA\, New Delhi. The first conference was held in 2015 on perspectives on regional and global cooperation at GIGA in Hamburg\, together with a subsequent policy panel at the KAS conference centre in Berlin. Around 30 scholars and think-tank representatives are expected to participate in the 2017 conference. \nThe objective of the conference is to deliberate upon the current patterns of conflict and collaboration within and across Asia’s sub-regions and as the role of rising Asian powers in global cooperation. Based on developments in the region\, we aim to develop insights into the preconditions for cooperation (or the lack thereof) at the regional and global levels as well as explore the perceptions and power equations of the key actors. \n\nProgramme\nDay 1\, September 15\, 2017\nVenue: IDSA Auditorium \n09:30-10:00h: Registration & Tea \n10:00-11:00h: Inaugural Session \n\nWelcome Remarks by Maj Gen Alok Deb\, SM\, VSM (Retd)\, Deputy Director General\, IDSA\nRemarks by Prof Patrick Köllner\, Vice President\, GIGA\nRemarks by Mr Peter Rimmele\, Representative\, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS)\nKeynote Address by Shri M.J.
