During the year, the world and India changed in several ways. The assertiveness of

China was palpable in East Asia wherein China-Japan relations deteriorated and

tensions rose dramatically in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The US policy

of rebalancing and pivot to Asia continued to create strategic uncertainties with the

attention of analysts focused on the trajectories of US-China relations and US relations

with its allies. Tensions between Russia and the West escalated over Ukraine. Territorial

adjustments took place in the heart of Europe as Crimea announced that it has detached

itself from Ukraine and merged with Russia. The Middle East remained in the grip of

extreme uncertainty with a raging civil war in Syria, growing sectarianism and the rapid

rise of Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda like groups in West Asia and North Africa. Terrorism

spread its tentacles in Africa also. One silver lining was the beginning of talks between

Iran and P5+1 on the nuclear issue. Terrorism and maritime security dominated the

international security agenda. The still underdeveloped idea of Indo-Pacific attracted the

attention of analysts. India's neighbourhood continued to witness instability with

increasingly radicalization in Pakistan and deteriorating political divisions in

Bangladesh. Elections were held in Nepal and the key test of Constitution formulation

remained unfulfilled. With ISAF forces planning to leave the country, Afghanistan was

faced with numerous political security related uncertainties.

India continued to draw the attention of the world, as the geopolitical pivot moved

towards Asia. India's diplomacy remained in high gear with numerous high-level

summits, multilateral meetings and bilateral visits taking place throughout the year.

India faced a major crisis in its foreign relations when Sino-Indian relations went

through a tense phase over Chinese incursions in Northern Ladakh in the Depsang area.

India's economic slowdown also raised questions about the regional and global

influence of India as an emerging power, though its regional and global profile remained

noticeable.

India's security environment faced numerous challenges primarily arising out of

increasing radicalization in the neighbourhood and terrorism. Domestic factors

remained critical to some aspects of India's foreign policy. There were some hiccups in

India's defence modernization as the Indian economy faced a resource crunch and the

Indian establishment found it difficult to overcome delays in procurement. The progress

in indigenization of defence production and defence R&D was also slow. The country

continued to face numerous challenges on the internal security front as well. The naxal

challenge remained prominent. The internal security structures in India continued to

5

Introduction

remain insufficient to cope with the growing internal security threats.

IDSA scholars followed these trends with keen interest. A large number of

publications were brought out capturing the emerging challenges and opportunities. In a

series of books and monographs, scholars focused on geopolitical developments in East

Asia, the Gulf, South Asia, Central Asia, Africa, the Arctic, and the nuclear domain etc.

The publications also covered themes such as nuclear terrorism, non-proliferation,

militant groups, water, energy, defence procurements and defence industry, coastal

security, climate change, nuclear terrorism, warfare, regional institutions,

multilateralism, etc.

In a comprehensive global survey of think tanks carried out by Pennsylvania thUniversity, IDSA was ranked 10 amongst the Top 45 Think Tanks in China, India,

rdJapan, and the Republic of Korea; 23 amongst the Best Government Affiliated Think thTanks of the world; 30 amongst the Think Tanks with the Best Use of Media (Print or

th ndElectronic) 54 amongst Top 100 Think Tanks Worldwide (Non-US); 102 amongst the st

Top 150 Think Tanks – Worldwide (US and Non-US) and 21 amongst the Think Tanks'

to Watch out for.

In addition, IDSA's numerous outreach programmes gathered momentum during

the year, resulting in a wide range of high-level contacts with foreign diplomats, experts,

political leaders and academics. The Institute also contributed significantly in the sphere

of training in national security as well as nurturing of young talent.

The year registered a significant all-round increase in IDSA's research and outreach

activities. The key trends are captured in the following paragraphs:-

CENTRES

IDSA's activity is focused around 13 Centres. A brief account of the main activities

of the Centres is given below:-

Africa, Latin America, Caribbean & UN (ALACUN) Centre

During the past year, the ALACUN Centre continued to monitor and analyse

developments on the African continent, the Indian Ocean Region, India-Latin America

relations, and relevant United Nations activities that impact the areas under study. The

6

Centre continued the publication of a bimonthly newsletter on Africa: Africa Trends.

The newsletter has aimed to provide readers with reviews and analysis of significant and

strategic developments taking place in African countries that impact regional and global

security. The Centre also produced the Indian Ocean Watch, a monthly newsletter that

tracked recent developments in the fields of maritime security, economic cooperation

and environmental concerns/ disaster risk management in the various countries of the

Indian Ocean region. Further, Shri Shashank, Former Foreign Secretary, Government of

India, released the book, India and Africa: Enhancing Mutual Engagement, edited by

Ms. Ruchita Beri.

The Centre also hosted several activities during this period, including a roundtable

on the Sixth IBSA Summit, a talk by Mr Charles Sabga, ICRC Regional Legal Adviser

for South Asia and Iran on the theme “International Humanitarian Law and

Contemporary Armed Conflict”, another roundtable on “UN Peacekeeping:

Experiences of India and Brazil,” the Second India-Africa Strategic Dialogue on the

theme “Common Security Challenges for the Next Decade: Perspectives from India and

Africa”, as part of the India-Africa Forum Summit II (IAFS) project commitments; a

conference on the theme, “UNSC Reform: Perspectives and Prospects” in collaboration

with the Ministry of External Affairs and an interaction with a delegation of Young

Parliamentarians from Africa.

Defence Economics and Industry Centre

The Defence Economics and Industry Centre was created in 2006 to promote

research in the area which was hitherto unexplored. Within a short span of nearly eight

years, the Centre, through outreach activities and objective research, has been at the

forefront of the national debate on issues related to defence spending, arms procurement

procedure, offset policy and defence industry. Several suggestions emanating from the

Centre have found acceptance by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

The Centre plays a vital role in organising meetings of the MoD-Industry Forum, set

up in 2013 to facilitate direct interaction between the senior officials of the MoD and

industry. Six meetings were held in the year on a wide range of issues including defence

innovation, exchange rate variation, Medium Small and Micro Enterprises (MSME),

naval shipbuilding, defence exports, defence industrial licensing and Foreign Direct

Investments (FDI) in defence.

During the year, several research papers were published, including a Monograph on

7

Indian Defence Industry: Issues of Self-Reliance and an Occasional Paper on Defence

Innovation in India: The Fault Lines.

East Asia Centre

The East Asia Centre at IDSA is engaged in research to assess the emerging role of

China, Japan and South Korea in Asia and world politics, with special focus on China. It

publishes the China Yearbook and also a bimonthly newsletter titled East Asia Monitor.

A number of research projects are being pursued currently, covering China's foreign

policy and multilateral strategy; China's military and nuclear policy; India-China

relations; and India-Taiwan relations. Experts and scholars at the Centre have published

high-quality international peer-reviewed research papers, and have travelled to

participate in international fora, seminars, conferences and symposiums representing

IDSA. Some scholars also availed various fellowships. Research findings of the Centre

suggest that India should give greater importance to Japan and South Korea. Research

indicates that economic engagement with China is important, yet India must be vigilant

about China's growing assertiveness in East Asia and South East Asia. To enhance its

research and outreach activities in East Asia, the Centre is significantly engaged in

bilateral Track-II dialogue mechanisms with think-tanks and institutes in China, Taiwan,

Japan, South Korea and Mongolia. The Centre has also established a Trilateral Dialogue

mechanism with Japanese and South Korean institutes. The Centre has briefed the

government from time to time on developments in East Asia.

Europe and Eurasia Centre

The Europe and Eurasia Centre continued to focus on issues, themes and countries

in the Eurasian geographical area. Some areas of focus have been – shifts in India's

foreign policy and strategic articulation; prospects of India-China relationship; China's

relations with countries and regional organizations in Eurasia; Russia's foreign policy

with emphasis on developments in Ukraine; South Asia (India, Pakistan and

Afghanistan) and Central Asia; Central Asia in the foreign policies of the three major

powers –India, Russia and China; internal developments in Russia and in Central Asian

countries and multilateral frameworks like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation

(SCO) and Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO).

Other important trends under watch were: China's economic and military

cooperation with Russia; Russia's military modernization; and developments in the

Arctic. The scholars at the Europe and Eurasia Centre analysed these issues in their Op-

Ed and Web Commentaries, Issue Briefs and Reports wherein they studied the

8

implications for India. These issues were also discussed at various seminars and

conferences, roundtables, media interactions and lectures organized at the national and

international level. Amb P Stobdan's book titled 'Central Asia: Democracy, Instability

and Strategic Game in Kyrgyzstan' was released in January 2014.

The Centre organized a roundtable interaction with the Shanghai Cooperation

Organisation (SCO) Secretary General, H.E. Mr. Dmitry Fedorovich Mezentsev, at

IDSA on February 24, 2014. There was also an interaction with Russian scholars from

the Institute of Far Eastern Studies, Moscow, on the subject 'Russia-India-China and

Japan: Convergences and Divergences: Implications for the Future' on February 28,

2014 along with a talk by Dr Tatiana Shaumyan, Head of the Centre for Indian Studies,

Institute of Oriental Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, on the theme

'Russia, India and Afghanistan, on November 20, 2013. These interactions provided a

platform for experts to analyse the current dynamics in the Eurasian region, the changing

international strategic environment and its implications for India.

Internal Security Centre

During the financial year 2013-2014, the Internal Security Centre worked on a

variety of policy-oriented research themes and actively organized several events

including two National Seminars. The Centre's research efforts were focussed on

insurgencies in the Northeast; Left-Wing Extremism; management of India's borders;

coastal security; and growing radicalisation and terrorism. Members of the Centre

published monographs and articles in 2013-14 on topics like 'India's Internal Security

Situation: Present Realties and Future Pathways';'Coastal Security: The Indian

Experience', 'Issues in Management of India-Pakistan International Border', etc. A

book titled 'Militant Groups in South Asia' which provides a detailed profile of various

terrorist and militant groups in the region was also published. Members of the Centre

also delivered lectures in during training programmes for the military and paramilitary

forces, both within IDSA and outside.

The Centre has also been actively engaged with the Ministry of Home Affairs

(MHA) for the past three years. During the year 2013-14, the MHA had entrusted a

number of projects including Peace Negotiations in the Northeast, Maoist Linkages in

the Northeast, Implications of Madrassa Education in Jammu & Kashmir, Social

Media's Impact on Internal Security and Law and Order. Some of these studies were

completed while others are ongoing. The Centre undertook extensive field studies and

made key recommendations on these topics. The project on Peace Negotiations in the

9

North East concluded that activating a pre-negotiation phase, dealing with ethnic

security dilemmas by strengthening law enforcement and utilizing back-channel

negotiations, can prove to be useful techniques of conflict resolution. These projects

received much appreciation from the MHA and subsequently, the Ministry has assigned

new projects to the Centre. Further, a joint project on Coastal Security was concluded

with the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS). The key recommendation for

this project was that the Coast Guard should be given full responsibility for Coastal

Security.

The Internal Security Centre also organized two National Seminars. The first was

held in Guwahati on July 15-16, 2013 on the theme Strategic and Developmental

Imperatives in North East India. It was organized in collaboration with the Special

Branch of the Assam Police. It focussed on issues such as development and security of

border areas in the region; economic growth of the region through promotion of tourism;

investments in mega projects; implementation of Look East Policy (LEP) and emphasis

on the role of North East in it. The second seminar was conducted on October 9, 2013,

which deliberated upon important internal security structural issues faced by the country

and the existing response mechanism.

The Centre also organized several roundtable discussions and lectures by eminent

persons on a wide array of topics pertaining to Internal Security. The first roundtable on

Northeast's Role in India's Look East Policy (LEP), organised in September 2013. It was

aimed at inviting specific projects from the North-eastern states that could be

implemented in the region under the aegis of the ASEAN-India Vision Document 2020

as well as India's Look East Policy. The second roundtable on India's Neighbouring

Borderlands: an Anthropological Approach explored the scope of ethnicities, histories,

and nationalities of neighbouring border areas to understand them better and keeping in

mind India's national security interests. On August 26, 2013, Shri Rajeev Bhattacharya

shared his insights and experiences about a number of North East insurgent groups

whom he had interacted with during his travel deep inside the jungles of Myanmar. Lt

Gen S. A. Hasnain's lecture titled “Kashmir 2014: A Review and Prognosis” provided a

strategic view of the Kashmir situation through the 1990s and 2000-2013, followed by a

prognosis for the period 2014-18.

Military Affairs Centre

The Military Affairs Centre dealt with subjects like military strategy; higher defence

management; defence reforms; civil-military relations and military change during the

10

year. As part of its outreach, training was organised for officers from the defence

services. Interaction was facilitated both in the form of formal talks by Service Chiefs,

senior retired and serving officers as well as by holding roundtable discussions. A

number of interactions were also held with visiting delegations from foreign countries.

High profile visits included those by the Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral D.K. Joshi, Chief

of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne and the National Security Adviser of

Iraq, Mr Fali Al Fayyadh. A number of seminars and workshops were held to improve

understanding of concepts related to the military.

The endeavour to better understand the work of Kautilya was taken forward during

the year. This culminated in a national seminar on Kautilya's Arthashastra. The Centre

organised a roundtable discussion on how the Army has adapted to change in Counter

Insurgency (CI) operations. This was a follow up to an international project on Military

Change. Discussion on the same subject was also held in Norway, as part of IDSA's

partnership with the Norwegian Institute of Defence Studies. The Institute also hosted a

conference on International Order at Sea. Similar interactions were organised with

international think tanks and research institutes during the year.

The Journal of Defence Studies brought out a special issue on the India-China War

1962 to commemorate fifty years of its occurrence, besides both thematic and generic

defence-related issues during the year. The Defence and Security Database has

improved substantially and has become a rich source of research reference material for

scholars of IDSA.

Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Centre

The Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Centre has successfully mainstreamed NTS

issues in the political, security and foreign policy domain. The focus of research

continued to be on examining energy and water issues; assessing the geo-political

challenges of climate change; and exploring the interconnections of energy-water-

climate change, which is now being increasingly seen as a nexus. The increasing

relevance of NTS issues has led to regular interaction of the Centre's members with the

MEA, Ministry of Environment and Forests', Central Water Commission, Foreign

Service Institute, National Defence College, Army War College, Air War College and

other Army formations. The members of the Centre are visible in the media, both print

and electronic. The Centre continues to enlarge its research footprint and has been

prominent in important national and international fora. The Centre is conducting a

project on the “Recent Developments in the Energy Sector for India (2012-14)” for the

11

MEA, and has also set up a task force on “Geopolitics of Climate Change; Implications

for thIndia's Energy Security”. The 16 Asian Security Conference in February 2014 was

conducted by the NTS Centre. The Centre has been publishing a bi-monthly e-NTS

Newsletter since April 2013.

The members are a part of the CSCAP Track II dialogue on Water Security in the

Asia-Pacific and the water dispute resolution mechanism of the Strategic Studies

Network (SSN) of the National Defense University, Washington DC. They are also

associated with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the

Hanns Seidel Foundation. The Centre is also a cooperating partner on a three-year

“AsiArctic” project with the Norwegian Research Council, headed by the Fridtjof

Nansen Institute (FNI), and the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies (IFS). The

main goal of the project is to contribute to new and relevant knowledge on the Arctic

interests and approaches of India, through integrated research. The first workshop was

held in September 2013 at IDSA and the papers presented are being published in a

special issue of IDSA's bimonthly refereed Journal Strategic Analysis.

North America Centre

The research activities of the North America Centre during the year were mainly

focussed on India-US strategic partnership; US rebalancing policy towards the Asia-

Pacific and its policy implications for India and Asia in general. The Centre held

deliberations on the prospects and challenges in the India-US strategic partnership in

view of the new government taking over after the general elections in India, with a focus

on defence, economy, education, export controls, US withdrawal from Afghanistan,

developments in Iran, Libya and Syria, etc. Scholars of the Centre contributed articles to

Baltistan: Between Hope and Despair. Monographs on Nepal, Afghanistan and Pakistan

were also finalized. Scholars also contributed to a volume on “India and its

Neighbourhood”, as part of an IDSA-MEA joint project, in which an attempt was made

to critically analyse various challenges to India's foreign policy from the neighbourhood

perspective. There was increased participation by various Centre members in both print

and audio-visual media in terms of providing their analyses on critical issues during the

year.

As part of IDSA's outreach effort, the Centre provided assistance in teaching a

course on South Asia at the Nelson Mandela Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution,

Jamia Milia Islamia, New Delhi. The Centre organized the annual South Asia

the acclaimed Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) led by the Woodrow

Wilson International Center for Scholars, Washington D.C. The NPIHP, conceived by

Dr Christian Ostermann of the Woodrow Wilson Center and Prof Leopoldo Nuti of the

Machiavelli Centre for Cold War Studies (CIMA), Rome, is an effort to trace the history

of nuclear weapons and collate a compendium of global nuclear history. IDSA is the

Indian partner of NPIHP, and since 2010, have been spearheading an archival mining

and oral history collection effort to retrace the history of India's nuclear programme and

fill major knowledge gaps in its understanding. Since then, IDSA's nuclear history

project has brought out more than 300 documents on the early years of India's nuclear

programme, including a recent tranche of over 100 documents on nuclear policy debates

in the Rajya Sabha from 1950 to 1970s.

WELFARE

Insurance Scheme from the National Insurance Co. Ltd for scholars and staff as well as

their families

Grant In-Aid to IDSA

During the financial year 2013-2014, IDSA was paid Grant-In-Aid (in lump-sum)

under the object head “Grant-In-Aid General” amounting to Rs1206 Lakhs. Out of this,

Rs37.03 Lakhs has been utilized for acquisition of Fixed Assets and the balance

Rs1168.97 Lakhs was recognized as Income. During the year 2013-2014, IDSA has

projected the revised estimates amounting to Rs1267.00 Lakhs after giving effect of

In continuation of our welfare efforts, it was felt that a qualified doctor should visit

the IDSA periodically to whom minor cases of ailments can be referred so that the

scholars and staff do not have to rush to doctors at faraway places in case of need.

Services of a doctor have been engaged who provides medical aid and visits the Institute

thrice a week for one hour each and attends to the scholars and staff as well as their

dependent families and also domestic helps staying within the campus. A Group Health

has also been started. A free eye screening programme was organised

during the year.

The brief account of the activities of the IDSA during 2013-14 indicates that the

Institute has continued to build on the efforts put in during the previous years.

Consequently, IDSA scholars and experts have published high quality products in

adequate numbers, outreach has expanded, interaction with officials as well as the larger

strategic community has improved, the scope and depth of research has increased and

IDSA's international ranking among think tanks has gone up. Yet, the Institute will have

to continue with its efforts to emerge as a world class institution. Efforts in the coming

future would focus on enhancing the resources and bringing in top ranking experts and

scholars to the Institute in sufficient numbers.

mandatory cut of 10% on non-salary expenditure but with a further effective cut of Rs 61

Lakhs which was the actual expenditure towards Pay and Allowances, pension and

retirement benefits paid up to February 2014, was also affected since the expenditure due

to increase in DA and increment was not accounted for. MoD was requested to sanction

the said amount of Rs 61 Lakhs out of the savings at re-appropriation stage. In response,

MoD has conveyed that any augmentation under the object head “Grant-In-Aid General”

required the prior approval of Parliament and thus the Ministry was not in a position to

sanction the same. Since the expenditure had already been incurred under the head “Pay

& Allowances (including pension and the retirement benefits)”, there was no option but to

meet the said expenditure out of IDSA's generated receipts like membership subscription,

sale of publication, interest earned on the deposits with the Bank etc.

Further, out of amount received from MoD towards Grant-In-Aid (Rs. 1206 Lakhs),

66 per cent was utilized on salary and pension; 21 per cent on operational and

administrative expenses and 13 per cent on research related activities (excluding salary of

scholars).

Strategic Analysis 2013 -14

In 2013-14, Strategic Analysis continued its journey as the country's foremost

academic journal on strategic studies, area studies and international relations. The

journal attracted some of the best known international academics, and analysts into its

fold from across the subject spectrum. The journal's contributions are now read, refereed

and contributed to, internationally, a trend that began most definitively in 2012-13. This

trend is being carried forward in the period under review. This has given strength to the

journal as a standalone among its peers in the market. The publishing and marketing

collaboration with Routledge is continuing with increasingly positive feedback being

received from international publishing circles.

The issues and themes that have been covered and continue to occupy the attention

of scholars, include India-Sri Lanka relations in the post–LTTE period; India's growing

energy woes; the transition in Myanmar and its implications for the region; the economic

and social changes faced by China and the security challenges therein; the changing

nature of the Air Power discourse; the IBSA completing ten years and its implications

and fallout; the emergence of the Arctic as the 'new front' in the non-traditional security

discourse; the possibilities of a trilateral cooperative arrangement between India, China

and Nepal; Peacekeeping; ASEAN; Digital Diplomacy and Foreign Policy and the role

of cultural diplomacy in regional development, among others.

The Journal of Defence Studies (JDS) is a peer-reviewed research journal with a special

focus on the core issues of defence, and national security and strategy. Started as an

annual issue in 2007, JDS is now published quarterly.

Four issues of the journal were published during the year, including one special issue.

The April-June 2013 issue was a special issue addressing 'Ethics and Morals in the

Indian Armed Forces'. It included contributions by Adm (Retd) Arun Prakash, Lt Gen

(Retd) Ian Cardozo, Maj Gen (Retd) Mrinal Suman, Nitin Gokhale, and Maj Gen (Retd)

Dhruv C. Katoch, among others.

The other three issues were general issues containing articles on a number of topics,

including defence procurements, DRDO and quality assurance; maritime security and

the Indian Ocean region; Indian military history; international legal mechanisms and

defence; among others. It also included incisive, timely commentaries on topical events

such as the Chinese intrusion into Ladakh in April-May 2013, and the signing of the

Border Defence Cooperation Agreement between India and China in December 2013.

The JDS has expanded its contributor base and readership over the past year, with many

contributions coming from outside the IDSA. It has also caught the attention of members

of the defence and strategic community across the world. The subscription base has also

grown by around 40-50 new subscriptions during the period. JDS continues its

publishing tie-up with Bloomsbury India Ltd.

A JDS page has been created on Facebook which is generating further interest in the

publication. It is also being publicized on Twitter.

The complete list of articles published in the JDS during the year is available on the

IDSA website.

The IDSA Internship Programme launched three years ago has been successful in attracting young talent to IDSA. This programme attracted over 25 Interns from multi-disciplinary backgrounds from both Indian and foreign universities during this financial year. These Interns have made useful contributions to the success of IDSA's projects. It is hoped that their time at IDSA will help them better appreciate India's foreign and security policies. We expect these talented scholars to be future leaders in the domain of strategic affairs who will also contribute to the work of the Institute in times to come.
