director’s message

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Dan LeafDirector, Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies

Challenges and opportunities were both in abundance for the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies ‘Ohana’ (family) in 2013.

Challenges

Our efforts to educate, connect and empower security professionals to improve US and partner capacity stress the need for “accountable and effective security sector governance.” Sequestration and government shut-down demonstrated that this is a chal-lenge even for our government, but eventually the challenge was met and the budget impasse overcome.

We were not alone in facing the challenges of sequestration and the furlough of our civilian employees. It was something that impacted both our civilian and military staff, as well as our Fellows who saw their courses cancelled (Asia-Pacific Orientation Course) or postponed (Advanced Security Cooperation course). I am very proud of how everyone stepped up to the challenge of rearranging our schedule in spite of the havoc it cre-ated in their personal lives. Without missing a beat, the team put together a very well-received APOC course in record time to make up for the delay of ASC until January 2014.

Opportunities

There were many opportunities which I found very gratifying in 2013. The first is our work supporting U.S. policy initiatives with Burma. Work-ing with the U.S. Embassy in Rangoon we had an opportunity to not only visit Burma to witness their transition as a nation, but also to invite our first participants from Burma to our work-

shops and courses, with full review and concurrence from OSD and the Department of State.

The continued growth of our visiting scholar program, also known as our intern program, is providing us with top quality graduate students. Working side-by-side with our seminar leaders, they are providing us with insights on how the new generation views current events and gains from the wisdom and experiences of our faculty and Fel-lows.

Carleton Cramer, our new Dean of the College of Security Studies, likes to encourage our incoming Fellows to embody the spirit of Horace and “Carpe Diem.” Seizing the day at APCSS means the Fellows must ap-preciate the challenges and opportuni-ties the courses provide and continue the momentum when you return home. It seems like each week we hear about something amazing being accom-plished by our alumni to promote peace and stability in the region.

Through either our workshops or through Fellows Projects, our alumni have been instrumental effecting change. They have developed peace agreements with rebel groups to end years of insurgency (Philippines); facilitated the integration of the rebels into their regular army (Nepal); and developed formalized National Secu-rity Strategy plans (Mongolia).

Here are some more examples of our alumni in action:

* A Nepal alumnus helped develop a Resource and Information Center and a Human Rights section within the Ministry of Defense, raising awareness

and changing mindsets about human rights issues and gender equality in the Army and police forces.

* After developing a concept paper for establishing an Incident Management System to improve disaster response in Bangladesh, the cohort of alumni from Bangladesh received governmental approval to proceed with their project and earned support and funding from USAID to bring the project to fruition.

* A Samoan alumnus drafted Standard Operating Procedures for a network of disaster response agencies. As a result of his initiative, Samoa is also ex-panding its radio coverage within this network to improve communications for disaster response.

We will seize the year 2014 to contin-ue to enable effective security sector governance and, most importantly, ensure that our alumni continue to take that message with them when they leave here.

Sincerely,

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Dan Leaf Director, APCSS

Who comes to our courses?Searching for the optimal blend of participants is a major effort at the Center. Diversity enhances the APC-SS experience by bringing people together with different perspectives and a wide variety of experiences. To maximize the effectiveness of our participant-centered, activity-based learning model, we attempt to replicate real-world planning and response to natural and man-made disasters or other security-related challenges. Having a diverse mix of practitioners from the broadest security realm adds a crucial element of realism to our exercise scenarios and ensures we approach issues from a comprehensive perspective.

As these charts demonstrate, only slighly more than half of our inter-national participants represent the Defense ministry, while the rest are practitioners that characterize a whole-of-government approach with representatives from over 15 diverse ministries, reflective of regional views about their security sectors. This comprehensive approach to security introduces experiences and perspectives from departments such as Foreign Affairs, Law Enforce-ment, Disaster Management and Customs. Within large ministries like Defense, we also seek a balance among military services and between uniformed and civilian personnel. The Law Enforcement sector is also comprised of varied organizations such as National Police, Customs, Immigration and Homeland Security. This inclusive approach challenges participants to think more critically and broadly about security and it en-hances the learning experience with diverse perspectives.

Building an Effective Security Sec-tor through Inclusion March 12-14, 2013 -- Nha Trang, Vietnam

“Building an Effec-tive Security Sector through Inclusion” was held March 12-14, 2013 in Nha Trang, Vietnam. Hosted in partnership with the Diplomatic

Academy of Vietnam’s Institute of Foreign Policy and Strategic Studies, the multilateral workshop focused on key considerations and opportunities to build effective security sectors in the Asia-Pacific through the inclusion of diverse viewpoints and perspec-tives.“Expanding the role and impact of women in security is not a women’s issue, but an essential part of achiev-ing the goals of good governance and effective leadership,” stated Dr. Lori Forman, workshop academic lead. “Both men and women must contrib-ute to these goals: success is found through mutual deliberation of the is-sues and joint development of the rec-ommendations.” Read more at: http://www.apcss.org/building-an-effective-security-sector-through-inclusion/

College of Security Studies bids farewell to Amb. Moriarty and welcomes Dean Cramer

APCSS in August 2010, after retiring from the U.S. Department of State. Shortly afterwards, APCSS announced the selection of a new Dean: retired U.S. Navy Captain Carleton R. Cra-mer. An expert on international law, Cramer has been on the faculty here since 2004.According to Leaf, Cramer was se-lected out of a highly qualified group of candidates. “It was a very diffi-cult decision in that all of them were excellent. In the end, I felt Carleton Cramer was the right person for the position at this time. He has a very clear and strong vision for the future of the College.“Cramer is also someone with a great amount of affection and respect for APCSS Fellows and Faculty members. He is widely acknowledged as some-one who will work with everyone to continue to build the type of executive education programs needed to build security cooperation in the region.”
