The Great Peace and Development Debate of 1999 China Reconsiders Its National Security This paper explores the context, conduct, results, and implications of what we might call “The Great Peace & Development Debate of 1999.” In the mid-1980s Deng Xiaoping provided an assessment of the international security environment that has since provided a rationale for the basic direction of China’s domestic policies, foreign policies, and defense policies. From March through at least September 1999, a remarkable national security debate took place within China. For the first time since 1985, Deng’s

US India Security Burden Sharing

/reports/2013/us-india-security-burden-sharing

Building a partnership with India is central to U.S. security interests in the Indian Ocean (IO). The United States seeks to work with India to promote stability in a region of rising commercial and strategic importance. U.S. policymakers view India as an “anchor” or “pillar” of stability in the Asia-Pacific. Given declining defense budgets, however, the United States will have fewer resources for its forces and partner capacity-building in this vast region. Envisioning India as a “provider of security in the broader Indian Ocean region,” the United States is naturally eager to pursue burden-sharing opportunities with India as a means to this end. India for its part understands that the United States expects it to assume a greater leadership role in the IO and appreciates the importance of its growing economic and naval capabilities. In 2010, then-Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao spoke about the growing view that “a robust Indian naval presence is seen as a necessary contribution to a cooperative regional security order” and discussed “the cooperative burden-sharing of naval forces to fight piracy off the coast of Somalia” as an example of India’s contributions to IO security.

The Trans Sahara Counter Terrorism Partnership

/reports/2014/the-trans-sahara-counter-terrorism-partnership

The Trans Sahara Counter Terrorism Partnership (TSCTP) is a multiyear, interagency program aimed at countering terrorism (CT) and countering violent extremism (CVE) in the Sahel and Maghreb. By U.S. government standards, TSCTP is an exceptional program for its ability to marshal interagency resources in support of a multifaceted approach to regional security that spans the “3Ds” – Diplomacy, Defense, and Development. However, like many other foreign assistance programs, TSCTP is not without planning and implementation challenges, which will be detailed in this study.
