The two-day workshop organized by the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies will examine issues of identity and security in Southeast Asia's diverse region in the context of cyberspace. On day one, participants will discuss the challenges of identity-based extremism and how it functions to radicalize groups. Day two focuses on opportunities and constraints for regional cooperation in the cyber domain. The goal is to facilitate discussions between subject matter experts and alumni to develop common perspectives on challenges in the region and ways to strengthen cooperative security initiatives for addressing identity-based issues.

This document provides the course schedule for the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies Advanced Security Cooperation seminar from May 2 to June 5, 2012. The schedule outlines the daily activities, topics, presenters and locations for lectures, seminar discussions, group projects, case study research, and cultural excursions. The course is divided into three modules covering cooperation and complexity, internal security, and major powers in the Asia-Pacific region.
This document outlines a training program divided into four modules. Module I introduces concepts of security and cooperation. Module II focuses on internal security dynamics, development, and whole-of-government approaches. Module III examines regional security dynamics through geographic lenses and case studies of Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania, South Asia, and disaster management. Module IV links external and internal cooperation through multilateral negotiation exercises and fellow project presentations.
The Advanced Security Cooperation (ASC) course is a 4.5 week executive education program that addresses major security challenges in the Asia-Pacific region. It takes a holistic approach to evaluating traditional and non-traditional security issues. The course aims to help security practitioners from the region think critically about security strategies and develop collaborative solutions. Key topics include internal security, external/transnational security, and issues relating to the global commons like maritime security and disaster management. The interactive program enhances participants' critical thinking, communication, collaboration and decision-making skills through modules, case studies, and a capstone exercise. It also expands professional networks among mid-career and senior security professionals.
The relationship between the military and politics in Southeast Asian countries has traditionally been close, but pressures of democratization may change this. Growing middle classes want the military to be subordinate to civilian rule. However, geopolitical threats also demand close cooperation between politicians and the military. Emerging non-traditional security threats like terrorism further complicate the military's role and require increased regional cooperation to address challenges to economic security and regional conflicts. How Southeast Asian militaries navigate these competing demands will impact regional security and professionalism.
