• Committee on Asian Security , Indiana University
  In September 2004, several units at Indiana University came together to form the Committee on Asian Security. The Committee seeks to bring attention to security issues in Asia and to examine their impact in both regional and global contexts. It does so through symposia, academic papers, and community outreach programs. The Committee looks at traditional and non-traditional security issues. Traditional issues include military affairs, weapons of mass destruction, and proliferation. Non-traditional issues range from diasporas to human rights to self-determination. The Committee is comprised of The East Asian Studies Center, Central Eurasian Studies Department, and The India Studies Program. We extend special thanks to the following offices at Indiana University-Bloomington for their critical support of this project: The Office of the Vice President for Research, The College of Arts and Sciences, and The Office of International Programs.
