An international foundation promoting peace and security

The Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) is an international foundation supported by the Swiss government, with 45 member states as well as the Canton of Geneva, for the primary purpose of promoting peace, security and stability through executive education and training, policy research and dialogue.

The GCSP trains government officials, diplomats, military officers, international civil servants and NGO staff in pertinent fields of international peace and security. Through research and publications, workshops and conferences, the GCSP also provides an internationally recognised forum for dialogue on key security and peace policy issues in the interest of effective security policy decision-making.

“At GCSP, we are

committed to the highest

professional standards”.

Ideally situated in the heart of diplomatic Geneva, Maison de la paix is a global hub for innovative solutions to contemporary challenges to peace, security and sustainable development.

In January 2014, the GCSP moved into its new premises at the Maison de la paix (House of Peace). This move represented an important juncture for the Centre, not only in terms of its physical location and brand new state-of-the-art facilities, but also in terms of its strategic repositioning, improving cooperation with the other partners and taking the opportunity to upgrade the learning environment features and pedagogical tools and techniques used by the GCSP to ensure a modern and innovative world-class learning facility. A large part of 2013 was devoted to the preparations for this milestone transition.

The Maison de la paix is the result of a public- private partnership between the Swiss public authorities, various donors and the Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies.

Its overall objective is to support and strengthen the relevance of “International Geneva” and to play an active role in helping the city to maintain and expand its longstanding identity and function as an international hub for diplomacy and dialogue in global peace and security affairs.

A year of big changesFirst and foremost, the leadership of the GCSP witnessed the departure of Ambassador Fred Tanner and his replacement by Ambassador Christian Dussey. Fred Tanner served as Director from 2005 to 2013: during those years, he undertook the process of globalisation of an institution which was initially focussed on the Euro-Atlantic area.

During his tenure, the GCSP’s outreach grew impressively, in terms of the diversification of the course participants in Geneva as with the conduct of activities in the Middle East and Central Asia. He took the helm at a time of some turbulence and gave stability to the GCSP when it was needed to expand its activities from the regional sphere to the global arena. For this, we owe him a debt of gratitude. We wish him full success in his new endeavours.

Christian Dussey took over during the summer. On top of a distinguished diplomatic career, he brings with him experience in two areas of particular interest to the GCSP. One concerns his responsibilities as head of the Swiss Foreign Ministry’s Crisis Management Centre, and the other involves his stay at Harvard University as a fellow of the Weatherhead Centre for International Affairs. This type of combination is in full sync with our policy of bringing together practice, and notably the ability to manage complex and stressful security situations, with the first-rate academic grounding needed to understand security issues in all their dimensions. Indeed, the variety of our course participants’ professional track-records, along with their expert knowledge, is a broader reflection of this approach, which lies in the Centre’s DNA. It is reflected in the GCSP’s newly adopted motto: “Where knowledge meets experience”.

The overriding task of the latter part of the year was the preparation of our move from the World Meteorological Organisation to the nearby Maison de la paix, the first tranches of which were reaching completion. The challenge went beyond the usual aim of ensuring that staff and their impedimenta would be transplanted with minimum trauma and maximum efficiency. For the Maison de la paix is not just another office building, albeit a rather good-looking one: it is foremost a concept, whereby institutions involved in international security operate in direct proximity in the furtherance of a common objective – that of promoting the cause of peace and security.

INTRODUCTION - A message from our Chairman

“For the Maison de la paix is not just another office building, albeit a rather

good-looking one: it is foremost a concept, whereby institutions involved in

international security operate in direct proximity in the furtherance of a

common objective - that of promoting the cause of peace and security.”

At the same time, the GCSP is facing, as do all institutions of advanced learning today, the challenge of bringing teaching, training and sharing of experiences in sync with the runaway potential of the revolution in information technology. Preparing the move to the as-yet unoccupied space of Maison de la paix, has been a great opportunity to embark on the corresponding rethink in terms of our methods, processes, institutions and physical organisation. 2013 thus set the stage for a work-in-progress which will keep the GCSP busy for some time.

New opportunities ahead

Swiss Ambassador Christian Dussey has led the GCSP since August 2013, a place where education, research and dialogue on security and peace issues go hand in hand.

2013 was a decisive year in the history of the GCSP. Since its creation nearly 20 years ago, the Centre has made significant achievements in accomplishing its mandate. Initially created to fill a niche in security policy training for Swiss officials only, the GCSP has made its mark as an internationally recognised institution delivering executive education programmes, generating policy-relevant ideas and promoting dialogue and exchange. Acknowledging GCSP’s longstanding tradition and the important contributions by my predecessor Ambassador Fred Tanner, I intend to further strengthen the Centre, enhancing its impact, outreach and relevance. I feel honoured to have the opportunity to lead the GCSP in the years to come, and I wish Ambassador Fred Tanner every success for his duties as the Senior Advisor of the OSCE Secretary General and Liaison for the Swiss OSCE Chairmanship 2014.

In 2013, the GCSP trained some 800 national and international officials from government, military and civil society. GCSP’s role in developing and disseminating policy-relevant ideas has been acknowledged in this year’s “Global Go To Think Index” report, which is published by the University of Pennsylvania and ranks the most influential think tanks worldwide. Moreover, thanks to the unique combination of GCSP’s commitment to impartiality, independence and inclusiveness, and its rich expert base, the GCSP was able to make important contributions as a platform for dialogue and exchange.

During the course of the year, the GCSP realised numerous tailor-made and demand-driven projects. Most notably, the GCSP hosted the 10th International Security Forum on behalf of and in close collaboration with the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs.

Dedicated to the theme “Facing a World of Transitions”, the conference gathered some 700 participants. We also had the privilege to organise the first in a series of executive courses for participants from Myanmar in September 2013, alongside the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces. Spearheaded by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, the GCSP further contributed to the “National Cyber Security Framework Manual”, which was launched in March 2013. Responding to a growing demand for re-evaluating the crisis in Syria, for the second time the GCSP also held a roundtable discussion with 60 renowned experts in December 2013.

Throughout the year, there was a substantial focus on preparing GCSP’s move to its new premises in the “Maison de la paix”. Being based in Geneva’s brand new centre for peace, security and development will offer vast opportunities. It will allow for greater synergies with our partners and we will be able to fully capitalise on “International Geneva’s” wealth of knowledge and experience. Finally, GCSP’s new location will enhance our capabilities in providing innovative training opportunities, facilitating high-level interactions and stimulating inspiring discussions.

• Articulate and implement effective conflict management, resolution and peacebuilding;

• Develop their leadership and decision-making skills in foreign and security policy; and

• Perform effectively in the management of dynamic crises and emergencies.

The programme seeks to help practitioners to:

• Delivering long and short courses for participants from various professional and geographical backgrounds, as well as tailor- made courses for institutions;

• Promoting dialogue and exchange, including diplomatic track 1.5 and 2 processes; and

• Generating policy-relevant research and analysis.

The programme engages in three areas of activities:

Training Course on International Relations, Democratisation and Human Security for Myanmar(30 August 2013 - 20 September 2013)

Emerging from five decades of economic and political isolation, the recent transformation of Myanmar has been one of the most striking features of Asian development. During his visit to Yangon in November 2012, Swiss Federal Counsellor Didier Burkhalter committed to President Thein Sein to offer a five-year executive education programme specifically designed for officials from Myanmar.

Geneva Peacebuilding Platform (GPP)

The Geneva Peacebuilding Platform is an inter-agency network that connects a critical mass of peacebuilding actors, resources, and expertise in Geneva and worldwide. As part of its 2012-2014 Programme, the Platform provides policy- relevant advice and services, ensures the continuous exchange of information through seminars, consultations, and conferences, and facilitates outcome-oriented peacebuilding dialogue. At present, it focuses on five areas: peacebuilding, peacemaking, and political transitions; peacebuilding and prevention; peacebuilding and the environment; monitoring, evaluation and learning in peacebuilding; and sustainable peace and justice.

It plays a creative role in building bridges between ‘International Geneva’, the United Nations peacebuilding architecture in New York, and peacebuilding activities in the field. The Platform’s network comprises more than 2500 peacebuilding professionals and over 60 institutions working on peacebuilding directly or indirectly.

The Geneva Peacebuilding Platform was founded by four institutions: the Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding (CCDP) of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies; the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP); Interpeace; and the Quaker United Nations Office, Geneva (QUNO).

Leadership in Conflict ManagementHelping practitioners in foreign, security and peace policy navigate through conflicts, crises and humanitarian emergencies.

Long Course 27th International Training Course in Security Policy (ITC) (09 October 2012 - 07 June 2013)

The course offers a broad overview of international security issues, from both state and human security perspectives. It covers international relations theory, security concepts, the main actors as well as transnational and international sources of insecurity (e.g. proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, international terrorism and environmental change). The course includes a particular focus on new security challenges and the contemporary regional and global security environment. Additionally, there are special sessions held on important issues, one of which is aimed especially at participants earmarked as future Defence Attachés.

A particular focus of ITC-27 was to familiarise participants with modern working methods, negotiating tactics, security policy decision- making, as well as critical analysis, drafting and briefing skills. The course used case studies and simulation exercises throughout the year.

The GCSP had the privilege to organise the first of the series in September 2013 alongside the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF). Aiming at providing the Burmese partici-pants with an up-to-date conceptual back-ground and tools to help them successfully navigate through the ongoing democratisation process, a three-week programme was set up. This covered, for example, a module on active citizenship and public participation, an exercise on transitional justice, reconciliation and social justice, and seminars on the role of the judiciary and the rule of law.

Various Geneva-based institutions were visited, as were the Geneva Grand Conseil (Parliament) and the Swiss Parliament in Bern.

For many participants, this was their first opportunity to openly exchange and learn with a diverse group of people coming from central and regional government administration, military, and civil society.

The programme tackles three types of emerging issues:

• Education and training for government officials, military officers, international civil servants, NGO staff, and private sector representatives;

• Dialogue and outreach activities, including track 1.5 and 2 events; and

• Policy-relevant research and analysis.

The programme engages in three areas of work:

PROGRAMMES - Emerging Security Challenges

Emerging Security ChallengesDeveloping individuals’ and institutions’ ability to respond to new issues in security, and finding novel solutions to longstanding transnational challenges.

The New Issues in Security Course (NISC) is the programme’s flagship course. It aims to give participants a comprehensive overview of global peace and security trends – emphasising emerging challenges and responses. It also strives to develop participants’ existing skill sets so they can respond more effectively to new issues.

The NISC curriculum covered several themes, including emerging human security challenges (e.g. climate change and health security), regional security trends, and transnational threats such as terrorism and organised crime. Among the course highlights were some of the skill-building exercises – such as negotiation and media training –

23participants took part in the Long course.

19The participants came from 19 countries.

Partnering with organisations in Switzerland and beyond

In 2013, the ESCP affiliated with organisations based in Switzerland and abroad. In the field of security and law, the programme partnered with the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport, the International Institute of Humanitarian Law, and the Geneva Academy. With respect to non-proliferation and disarmament, the programme collaborated with the Geneva Forum, Reaching Critical Will, the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, and Australian National University. The programme also worked with Brussels-based institutions such as the Egmont Institute and the Royal Higher Institute for Defence.

The Centre for the Geopolitics of Globalization and Transnational Security (CGGTS) engages in research of pertinence and immediate relevance to the global future, beyond conventional understandings of security. The Centre is under the direction of Dr Nayef Al-Rodhan, Senior Fellow at the GCSP and Senior Member of St. Antony’s College at Oxford University, UK. In 2013, the CGGTS focused on policy-relevant conceptual innovations in a variety of areas including: governance paradigms, trans-cultural security, human dignity, global security, outer space, and emerging technologies. The CGGTS explored these multifaceted challenges confronting states and the global community through publications in various journals including YaleGlobal, Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, The National Interest, Small Wars Journal and the ETH’s International Relations and Security Network.

A full list of publications can be found on Dr Al-Rodhan’s website www.sustainablehistory.com.

as well as a study trip to Vienna with visits to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), among others.

On 25 September 2013, through the Emerging Security Challenges Programme, the GCSP launched the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Network jointly with the Geneva Forum.

Launch of the Arms Trade Treaty Network

The aim of this platform, supported by the Swiss Confederation, is to promote the exchange of information and good practices regarding the entry into force and effective implementation of the ATT – adopted by the United Nations in June 2013. In particular, the programme is preparing, with its partners, a pilot training course that will be delivered in 2014 for officials involved in the implementation of the ATT.

• Education and training for government officials, diplomats, military officers, international civil servants, NGO staff, as well as for private sector representatives;

• Dialogue and outreach activities, including track 1.5 and 2 events; and

• Policy-relevant research and analysis.

The programme engages in three areas of work:

• An in-depth overview of European security issues in a global context, its transatlantic links and its prospects for the 21st century;

• The background to develop a deeper understanding of factors influencing regional security; and

• Hands-on training in security policy decision-making within an international atmosphere for a positive culture of engagement.

The programme focuses on three priorities:

Training related to NATO’s Partnership for Peace (PfP) Initiatives

The GCSP is one of the 24 officially recognised Partnership Training and Education Centres (PTECs). The GCSP is committed to the common objective of providing operational-level training and fostering the coordination and harmonisation of training activities within the framework of the PfP. As a part of the Regional Capacity Development Programme, the Civil-Military Relations Programme hosts a series of workshops and conferences in partnership with NATO within the framework of the PfP. In contrast to most of the other GCSP Programmes, the Civil-Military Relations Programme focuses on training, and does not host public events or undertake research.

Regional engagement

Regional security challenges emerge from a variety of sources. The persistence of unresolved intra-national and inter-regional conflicts, the weakening of the state in the face of gnawing global challenges and proliferating transnational threats continue to combine with perennial challenges of under-development, instability and human insecurity. In that respect, ongoing political transitions in, notably, the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, which are generating complex and open-ended security challenges – including human security ones – are essentially calling for two primary dynamics of engagement. On the one hand, efforts are required to accompany these momentous challenges with a view to enable proper, representative and functioning institutions led by equipped leaders able to face a wide array of fast-changing situations. On the other, what is equally needed is an investment in generating, improving and/or informing the policy work of a number of governments and organisations interested in and able to contribute to the development of such needed regional capacity, through their staff, initiatives or policies.

Regional Capacity DevelopmentSeeking to enhance the ability of national and regional, state and non-state institutions to understand and operate globally in a fast-changing security environment.

Participants originated from ministries of foreign affairs, justice and defence, from member and partner countries of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC), as well as from the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, South Asia and the Caucasus. Represented in the course for the first time were Pakistan, Tanzania and Ghana. Participants also came from one of the GCSP’s institutional partners, the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy (ADA), which allows their top students to attend the ETC in order to contribute to the completion of their ADA degrees.

Long Course 17th European Training Course in Security Policy (ETC)(08 January 2013 - 22 March 2013)

2nd International Roundtable on the Crisis in Syria (5 December 2013)

In March 2012, the GCSP held its first international roundtable in Geneva to discuss the crisis in Syria. The meeting generated rich exchanges within a specialised and senior-level group of some sixty participants – diplomats, academics, experts and practitioners – with a view to contributing to policy thinking on the developing events. As the crisis in Syria persisted and widened, the GCSP convened the 2nd international roundtable of its kind with a view to examine further the evolution and implications of the ongoing crisis and reflect jointly on informed, practical and constructive avenues of international engagement towards crisis resolution.

2nd International Roundtable on the Crisis in Syria

In this context, the Regional Development Programme at GCSP has worked in key centres around the world (New York, Rabat, Dakar, Sarajevo, Baku, Addis-Ababa) to contribute to such development needs.

10th International Security Forum - hosted by GCSP

The GCSP was the host of the 10th edition of the International Security Forum (ISF) which took place from 22 to 24 April 2013 at the Geneva International Conference Centre (CICG). Entitled “Facing a World of Transitions”, over the course of two and a half days, the conference provided 29 thought-provoking sessions on current issues and future trends in global security. The forum addressed the complex environment of international security, as well as its different dimensions ranging from political-military to human security issues.

700 experts, civil servants, diplomats, military, academics, and representatives of international and non-governmental organisations from around the world attended the conference.

Switzerland’s Vice President, Head of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Federal Councillor H.E. Mr Didier Burkhalter lead the audience through “Switzerland’s compass and toolbox for a world of change” in his opening address.

The ISF is a Swiss government contribution to NATO’s Partnership for Peace (PfP). The 10th edition was sponsored and co-organised by the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. Six conference partners contributed along with the GCSP to the panels, namely the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF), the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD), the Center for Security Studies, the International Relations and Security Network and the Partnership for Peace Consortium of Defence Academies and Security Studies Institutes.

Ambassador Fred Tanner, Director of the GCSP (2006-2013) closed the 10th ISF on a panel with keynote addresses from Former President of Finland Ms Tarja Halonen, Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva Mr Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Professor Gilles Kepel from Sciences Po, Paris.
