SUMMARY:Conference on India-Japan Cooperation in Indo-Pacific and Beyond 2025: Corridors\, Connectivity and Contours
DESCRIPTION:Venue:  Auditorium\, IDSA \nProgramme [PDF]\n \n \nConcept Note\nFocus of the Conference\nThis  conference aims to examine the scope and potential of India-Japan cooperation  in key infrastructural connectivity and corridors projects\, which will have a lasting  strategic impact in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond by the year 2025. It will  examine the bilateral\, trilateral and multilateral undertakings of India-Japan  cooperation.  \nThe Context\nA striking feature of India-Japan relations is their co-envisioned  “free\, open and prosperous” Indo-Pacific region. Under their “Special Strategic  and Global Partnership”\, the two countries outlined “Vision 2025” on 12 December  2015. The major characteristic of this vision was to enhance a “deep\,  broad-based and action-oriented” partnership within a global framework while  investing in India-Japan future-oriented partnership with a demand for peace  and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit  to Japan in November 2016 and October  2018 and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to India in September 2017  further endorsed this pledge. \nWhat does  this “free\, open and prosperous” Indo-Pacific mean in context of India-Japan special  and global relations? A number of bilateral understandings and agreements\, from  economic to political to strategic\, have been the crucial pillars of India-Japan  relations that have started complementing Vision 2025 in Indo-Pacific\,  especially their pledge to develop quality infrastructure across the region. Regionally  and globally\, an enhanced understanding is currently unfolding between the two  countries to strengthen a rule-based international order with focus on  people-to-people contacts\, connectivity and plan to develop corridors while  reinforcing their bilateral security and defence cooperation. Pledging a  “partnership for prosperity”\, the two countries intend to establish a stronger  regional and global partnership through collaborative connectivity and corridor  projects.  \nTheir  common pledge to have a “partnership for prosperity” is however not free from  challenges. China’s emergence as a stronger power\, its unilateral  infrastructural initiatives in the Indo-Pacific region\, especially Xi Jinping’s  Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)\, come as a challenge to India’s and Japan’s strategic  interests in the region. Donald Trump’s bilateral-oriented approach towards Asia  under an “America First” approach and\, notably\, the United States’ withdrawal  from multilateral trade negotiation contacts have posed a number of challenges  for the countries in the region. Though struggling for a conclusion currently\,  the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) negotiation process promises  to change the economic fortunes of the Indo-Pacific region with emphasis on  free trade and serious economic collaboration. Smaller actors are increasingly  aiming to play a critical role through trilateral and multilateral chain of  contacts and configurations. \nTaking  these developments into account\, a number of strategic contours\, bilaterally  and regionally\, impact and influence the India-Japan future relationship. This  conference aims to review and evaluate India-Japan relationship in the current  and future contexts with focus on their future-oriented partnership\, mainly beyond  the Vision 2025. This conference will not only review\, scrutinize and analyse  their ongoing cooperative partnerships in key connectivity and corridors  projects but foresee the scope of this cooperation beyond 2025.  \nStructure of the  Conference\nThe conference  will have four sessions. Each session will have three presenters.  \nSession I: Connectivity  and Corridors: The Foreign Policy Context   \nThis session  will focus on how infrastructural connectivity and corridors constitute the principal  foreign policy contours of the major actors in Indo-Pacific. It will focus on  Indian\, Japanese\, Chinese and American foreign policy focus on infrastructural  connectivity and corridors initiatives in Indo-Pacific. It will analyse the  following questions: How do the Indian\, Japanese\, Chinese and the American  foreign policy trajectories point to their cooperative and contending  perspectives on infrastructural connectivity and corridors projects in  Indo-Pacific/Asia-Pacific? How can India-Japan cooperation in the areas of  connectivity and corridors be strengthened by 2025 and beyond?   \nSession II: Financing Projects  and Policies: The Economic Context  \nThis  session will analyse key energy connectivity and corridors projects in  Indo-Pacific and their financing patterns. In particular\, it will examine how  key institutions such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB)\, the Asian  Infrastructural Development Bank (AIIB) and other global institutions will finance  key corridors and connectivity projects\, including energy projects\, in Indo-Pacific.  It will analyse the following questions: How is the ADB enhancing key infrastructure projects  in the Indo-Pacific? How is the AIIB shaping the infrastructure connectivity  and corridors projects? How is India-Japan Indo-Pacific infrastructural vision  complemented or contended by these financing institutions? How will RCEP impact  the future of Indo-Pacific infrastructure?  \nSession III: Maritime  Ports and Military Projections: The Security Context\nThis  session will critically analyse the security components of India-Japan  cooperation in Indo-Pacific with emphasis on key maritime ports and military  projections. It will examine main maritime ports and points in the Bay of Bengal  as well as in broader Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The session will address the  following questions: What are the principal maritime ports and projects in the  Bay of Bengal that India and Japan could possibly cooperate with in the future?  What are the prospects of the Asia-Africa Growth Corridor (AAGC) in IOR? How will  the military projections of major powers shape India-Japan partnership in times  to come?  \nSession IV: Interests\,  Investments and Infrastructure: The Bilateral Context \nThis  session will analyse the scope of India-Japan economic cooperation\, in terms of  their strategic interests and infrastructural investments. It will assess how  India’s and Japan’s economic growth trajectory will shape their Indo-Pacific  vision beyond 2025 in contrast to China’s emergence as an economic power house  in the region. It will address the following questions: What would be the economic growth trajectory of India\,  Japan and China in 2025 and beyond? What would be the prospects of India-Japan\,  India-China and China-Japan economic contacts over the next decade or so? How  will it impact the prospects of Indo-Pacific? \nScope of the Conference\nThis  conference is being co-organized by the Institute for Defence Studies and  Analyses (IDSA) and the Japan Foundation in New Delhi. Its scope is purely  bilateral\, involving Indian and Japanese subject experts and policy analysts. A  number of experts from Japan will participate and present their paper. On the Indian  side\, experts from IDSA and mainstream think-tanks and universities will  participate.  \nDate and Venue\nThe date  of the conference is 7 December 2018\, Friday. The venue is IDSA Auditorium. \nPaper Presentation and  Outcome\nEach  speaker will present a paper of 5000-8000 words. After the conference\, each  presenter will be asked to revise and resubmit their paper for publication for  an edited volume.
