It built on works carried out at the Centre on regional development with democratic forms of governance. The conference featured four sessions, focusing on East and Southeast Asia but with a sub-focus that explores the China case occasionally. The first session was devoted to examining the past achievements of and emerging challenges to the new democracies. The second sought to evaluate the political/democratic institutions that have since emerged, while the third reviewed the impacts of the transition on the global and regional processes and vice versa. Finally, the fourth session examined the social and political developments subsequent to the transitions. This conference was sponsored by the Chiang Chin-kuo Foundation for Intenational Scholartly Exchange and the Hang Seng Bank Golden Jubilee Education Fund for Research.

Written by the research staff of CSIS's Department of International Relations, the book's topics range from the theoretical basis for a security community within ASEAN, to analysis of the historical development of the idea of an ASEAN security community, to the practical challenges to establishing such a community. This assessment meets a critical need for comprehensive analysis of ASEAN as it meets new challenges and adopts a new charter at the dawn of its fifth decade.In conjunction with the book release, CSIS held a seminar and discussion on the ASEAN security community. Some of the book's contributors discussed its main themes and arguments with outside experts, students, and government officials. Political Transitions Activities Members Activities 9/20/2007

Remittances are very important to Bangladesh at around 7% of GDP and growing at around 10% per annum. The Government of Bangladesh has an on-going strategy to strengthen the flow of formal sector remittances as one pillar in it?s Poverty Reduction Strategy, recognition that remittance flows are the leading source of external financing and their potential for stimulating economic growth and reducing poverty. The RPP Program is a 7.5 million GBP grant funding a three-year multi-level project. Bangladesh Bank is the Government of Bangladesh?s implementing agency providing overall project direction through the establishment of a RPP Project Oversight Board. The aim of the RPP website is to inform the migrants and their families about the available channels for safe and legal transaction, money transfer, available products for the best utilization of the earned remittances, and the necessary steps from the migrants? part on ensuring the hassle free transaction.

This is a proposal for a multidisciplinary and collaborative project to conduct a comparative study of Indian elections. Bringing together the strengths of large-scale surveys and local-level investigations, the current project aims to provide comprehensive electoral ethnographies in 12 sites across India. These electoral ethnographies will mark a whole new approach in the study of elections. Rather than treat elections as dry statistical events that focus on the ?numbers game? and results, elections in this project will be studied with their full cultural and cosmological meaning, as the most important modern and secular festival of democratic India.

Professor Spence is perhaps best known for his research on signaling theory and information economics. He used this visit to CSIS to explain the Commission's work and to highlight some of its findings. A panel discussion about the implications of the findings on Indonesia's own economic development followed his remarks. Professor Spence summed up the Commission's mission as accelerating and sustaining growth and poverty reduction around the world. Toward this end, the Commission has tried to identify and highlight the key research, insights, and questions related to economic growth and poverty reduction. Among the many themes he addressed were the role of government in facilitating and promoting economic development, the challenges of integrating into the global economy, India and China's high growth experiences, and the "common ingredients for growth." As Professor Spence pointed out, however, these issues are not without controversy. The "necessary and sufficient conditions" for economic growth, Professor Spence said, remain a mystery. As a result, decisions about what policies and strategies should be pursued to alleviate poverty and achieve development must be made under conditions of uncertainty and with due regard for the specific circumstances of any given country. Stressing that there is no ?one size fits all' solution to such tricky questions, Professor Spence noted the importance of strong and competent leadership to developing and sustaining policies that support growth and poverty reduction. Following his presentation, Dr. Chatib Basri of LPEM, and Mr. Sandiaga Uno, Chairman of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI), commented on the relationship between Indonesia's experience developing its economy and fighting poverty, and that of the rest of the world.

The symposium, it is hoped, will engage with the spaces for dialogue in the context of ethnic political conflict, and more especially as an approach to augment practices of coexistence in multicultural societies. This will also be an attempt to examine why and to what extent dialogue is increasingly being replaced in the public and civic space by stridency, discord and sectarianism. With conventional practices of consensus building increasingly under strain, the limits and possibilities of dialogue as a philosophy, methodology, process, strategy, and/or tool will be explored. The symposium will also focus on the lessons to be learnt from successful or thwarted dialogue processes from across the world. The aim will be to squarely locate it within the possibilities of the democratic and participatory framework, and explore how policy and practice can be optimally impacted by according priority and public legitimacy to dialogue processes. This would be relevant both for conflict transformation and peacebuilding and, more importantly, conflict prevention in the South Asian region that is increasingly perceived as conflict prone.

Jointly organised by the Centre for Asian Studies and the Women Studies Research Centre, this seminar explores a form of inquiry into women's lives in-between cross-cultural narrative inquiry. The women participants in Dr He's inquiry, who were and continue to be compelled to exile intellectually, politically, linguistically, and culturally, compose their lives in-between languages, cultures, and powers in the midst of changing, often contested, multicultural and multilingual world. Dr He traces the historical origins of cross-cultural narrative inquiry in the social sciences and its evolving development in education. She calls for a form of inquiry with explicit agendas that focus on race, gender, and class; with specific methodologies that foster a participatory, humanistic, and critical process of the inquiries; and with focal outcomes that foster equity, equality, human rights, and social justice, and enact social and educational change. A life based research is presented to demonstrate specific qualities of this form of inquiry. Various forms of cross-cultural narrative inquiry are briefly mentioned (e.g., critical race narrative, autobiography, memoir, novel, oral history, documentary film, painting, and poetry) with a particular focus on the exile quality of lives in-between. Contributions, potentials, and challenges of cross-cultural narrative inquiry are also explored. This seminar is intended to search ways to ground research and scholarly activities in teaching, learning, research, and life. She calls for women educational researchers in Hong Kong to work together with other researchers, teachers, educators, administrators, policymakers, students, parents, and community members, to take to heart the concerns of underrepresented, disfranchised, and invisible groups and individuals, to exile themselves intellectually, and to invent spaces where all members of the societies develop human capacities more fully in an increasingly changing and diversifying world.

The ultimate objective of peace-workers is to help create a world where everyday is a 'day of peace'.  Peace is hard work. Until we inhabit a different world the International Day of Peace must be embraced as an opportunity to reflect on what's happening around us, how far we have come and how much further we have to go. Regional Centre for Strategic Studies (RCSS), Colombo, Sri Lanka is the South Asian Regional Initiator for the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC). GPPAC is a world-wide civil society-led network aiming to build a new international consensus on peace building and the prevention of violent conflict. GPPAC works extensively around the globe to bring people around one rallying point - the International Day of Peace and Ceasefire. This year GPPAC South Asia identified the need for raising awareness about conflict prevention within the region. Media is an industry, an art and a strong opinion maker. The media, in the modern era, is indisputably an instrument of war and what is focussed here is transforming this as a vehicle for peace.With this in mind as a commemoration of the Peace day, GPPAC South Asia coordinated and organized Conflict Sensitive Journalism Training Workshops in India, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The conference aimed to come to a better understanding of the implications of climate change for Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia so that specific ?climate security? measures could be formulated. Bringing together reputable security and political analysts, economists and environmentalists, it examined climate change from a human security perspective at both national and regional levels.
