IDSA – 4TH SOUTH ASIA CONFERENCE 2010 – NEW DELHI
4th South Asia Conference 2010 at Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi
Introduction : The South Asia Conference is organized by the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA), New Delhi. The Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) is a New Delhi based premier think tank of India. It has been engaged in research on defence and security related issues of south Asia in particular and world in general. Our yearly south Asia conference is an endeavour of the institute to bring together experts from all south Asian countries and discuss with them issues of contemporary relevance in an increasingly interdependent South Asia.
Since the countries in the South Asian region not only share many features of governance and structures but face similar challenges, the IDSA conferences have attempted to engage policy makers, scholars and grassroots activists to dialogue on key concerns with the objective to achieve sustainable peace and security. The conference seeks to draw on a cross-section of policy makers, academics, civil society actors and young professionals from the whole south Asian region to provide a platform for shared reflection on issues of common interest.
Concept Note : South Asia has faced political violence for a long time. Some of it has been called terrorism. However, counter-terrorism came on global agenda after a major terror attack was launched on the US on 9/11. Though the US has managed to thwart terror after that, south Asia has not been equally lucky. Most south Asian nations still have been facing the problem of terrorism, and if anything the problem of terrorism has only intensified in several cases. Nevertheless, some positive developments have also been noticed on this front during the last one or two years. This has placed south Asia at a crucial juncture where further cooperation can help the region overcome this problem.
Terrorism has so far defied an agreed definition. But after 9/11 there seems to be a growing opinion that this disadvantage should not be allowed to come in the way of fighting a phenomenon, which is harmful to everyone. The United Nation’s Resolution 1390 (2002) adopted by the Security Council at its 4452nd meeting, on 16 January 2002 reaffirmed that acts of international terrorism constitute a threat to international peace and security.
