Fellows complete Advanced Security Cooperation Course 17-1
|
The Advanced Security Cooperation Course (ASC17-1) concluded May 3 with 109 Fellows from 41 locations around the world. The flagship course for the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies began on March 30.
The five-week ASC is an executive education program enabling mid-level military and civilian leaders to deepen their understanding of security issues within political, socio-economic, defense and environmental contexts. The course’s primary intent, according to course manager Dr. Virginia Bacay Watson, is to help “Fellows develop a common understanding of the security threats and challenges in the region and to find ways to enhance networks of cooperation.”
“[It] has been a rather exciting, fulfilling, very interesting, and very important five-week dialogue of advanced security cooperation,” said Ms. Elsie Fukofuka, a senior assistant secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Tonga. “Before I came to Hawaii…I associated security with ‘hard’ issues: military, war, and nuclear proliferation. So I was genuinely pleased when I arrived to find that this course encompasses wider security issues that relate to our Asia-Pacific region included non-traditional security threats such as transnational crime, economic and maritime security, and the single most important security threat to the pacific islands: climate change. This is crucial because these affect each of our countries.”
