.......Historically
there have been close cultural and economic linkages
between Peninsular India and Southeast Asia. Both
regions face common security challenges of a wide-ranging
nature not limited to traditional security. Non-traditional
components of security, especially those relating
to the economy, environment and ethnicity, have
acquired greater significance in the security
discourse of both India and Southeast Asia.
.....The
importance of economic security has acquired wider
recognition especially in the aftermath of the
Asian financial crisis. Environmental threats
have the potential of spilling over from one region
into another. The haze in Indonesia and the Indian
Ocean tsunami are notable examples. The potential
for ethnic conflict exists in Peninsular India
and Southeast Asia since both these regions are
populated by a multiplicity of ethnic groups living
in close proximity to each other. Hence there
is a need for closer association, greater interaction,
better understanding and mutual cooperation to
ensure peace and development.
.....With
this in view the Centre for Security Analysis
in collaboration with Hanns Seidel Foundation
organized a seminar on October 6-7, 2005 in Chennai
on the theme of India and ASEAN: Non-Traditional
Security Threats. The proceedings of the
seminar are covered in this book.
