Counterterrorism Cooperation in South Asia: History and Prospects
The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR), Seattle, WA, US
Self-description:
"NBR Special Report (Dec 2009)
'Counterterrorism Cooperation in South Asia: History and Prospects' [by]
Sumit Ganguly.
Given the persistent and transnational nature of terrorism in South Asia, the region's countries share a common interest in cooperating on counterterrorism. This report examines the history of terrorism in South Asia, past attempts at counterterrorism cooperation, and challenges facing regional cooperation. Sumit Ganguly also discusses several strategies and policies for a more effective regional approach to counterterrorism in South Asia."
Extract:
"MAIN FINDINGS:
* Two discernable patterns emerge from the cases of terrorism in South Asia. First, these cases all involve indigenous uprisings that turned to the use of terrorism. Second, every case saw external intervention frequently exacerbating the original conflicts, prolonging their duration, and dramatically expanding their scope.
# There are few examples of effective regional counterterrorism cooperation in the region. South Asian states have been more prone to use terrorist proxies to achieve foreign and security policy goals rather than evince any willingness to engage in viable counterterrorism cooperation.
# Weak regional institutional frameworks, the long history of discord, conflict and distrust among the South Asian states, and organizational weaknesses of counterterrorism capabilities present significant barriers to regional counterterrorism cooperation.
# The prospects of counterterrorism cooperation in South Asia are distinctly mixed. Though the possibilities for Indo-Pakistani counterterrorism cooperation in the foreseeable future are negligible, there are limited prospects for cooperation between Bangladesh and India, Sri Lanka and India, and Nepal and India."

The PLA at Home and Abroad: Assessing the Operational Capabilities of China's Military
U.S. Army War College,
The National Bureau of Asian Research, and
Bush School of Government and Public Service, US
Supplied note:
"Dear Friend of NBR,
On behalf of The National Bureau of Asian Research, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) of the U.S. Army War College (USAWC), and The George H.W. Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University, I am pleased to announce the release of the colloquium brief from the 20th annual People's Liberation Army Conference [September 25-27, 2009].
The conference, "The PLA at Home and Abroad: Assessing the Operational Capabilities of China's Military," assessed the operational trends that will shape the pace and scale of the PLA's modernization efforts. We look forward to the release of the full conference volume in spring 2010; in the meantime, this report is intended to provide an introductory look at the conference findings.
The colloquium brief is available for download from the [UR of the] Strategic Studies Institute.
Sincerely,
Roy D. Kamphausen
Senior Vice President for Political and Security Affairs, and Director of the Washington, D.C., Office
The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR)."
Self-description:
" Colloquium Brief: The PLA at Home and Abroad: Assessing the Operational Capabilities of China's Military [by] Mr. Daniel Alderman,
Bridge Award Fellow,
The National Bureau of Asian Research.
KEY INSIGHTS:
* Signs are emerging that the PLA is becoming more confident about its position vis-a-vis Taiwan. At the same time, China believes that a changing international environment requires the Chinese armed forces to have more diversified capabilities. It is therefore placing relatively more emphasis on developing operational capabilities for missions other than against Taiwan (e.g., humanitarian assistance, peacekeeping operations, disaster relief, antipiracy, etc.).
* The implementation of Hu Jintao's "New Historic Missions" also affords the PLA the opportunity to make gains in some of its traditionally weaker areas, including logistics improvement, defense industry reform, and the implementation of combined and eventually joint operations.
* Through its 2009 Gulf of Aden antipiracy mission, the PLA Navy has shown that it is capable of undertaking certain types of operations abroad."

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris, France
Self-description:
"Cree au 1er janvier 2006 dans le cadre du partenariat entre l'EHESS et le CNRS, le Centre Asie du Sud-Est (CASE) a pour objectif d'effectuer des recherches interdisciplinaires sur cette region de l'Asie. Le centre est issu de la reunion de deux unites de recherche, ARCHIPEL [http://case.cnrs.fr/spip/case/-Archipel] et le LASEMA [Laboratoire Asie du Sud-Est et Monde Austronesien http://case.cnrs.fr/spip/case/-Lasema], devenues depuis des equipes de recherche de la nouvelle unite. La premiere reunit plus particulierement historiens, philologues et politologues, tandis que la seconde regroupe principalement anthropologues et geographes. L'archeologie et l'epigraphie sont representees dans chacune des equipes. L'association de ces deux equipes, qui partagent les memes exigences de terrain et de pratique linguistique, permet au CASE d'etre le plus important centre de recherches fran¨ais en sciences sociales sur l'Asie du Sud-Est.
Les pays concernes par les recherches du CASE sont les dix pays du sud-est asiatique stricto sensu, c'est-a-dire membres de l'ASEAN (Birmanie, Brunei, Cambodge, Indonesie, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapour, Thailande et Vietnam), mais aussi des regions ou des Etats voisins, tels Timor Leste, la Papouasie Nouvelle Guinee, Taiwan et la Chine meridionale."
