Overview
Development in the post-cold war era has broadened the perspectives on security to include non-traditional issues such as social and ethnic conflicts, environmental and energy security and human security. Domestic stability in Asia is facing both new and old challenges. The present decade has seen control of strategic resources sparking fierce competition around the world and escalating conflicts on many fronts. How Asia will manage its sustainable development in an increasingly competitive international environment for strategic resources has many implications for the region and beyond.
Main research focuses for the project are conflict and crisis management, sustainable development and security regarding: social and domestic stability, energy, environmental issues, separatism, and other non-traditional security issues, seeking to provide methods of conflict prevention and management, as well as resolution on various contemporary issues to meet the strategic challenges of the whole Asia region.
