Activities > Dissemination Seminars > Dissemination Workshop on NTS in Asia

14 - 15 September 2006,
Institute of International Relations, Hanoi, Vietnam

Prof. Amitav Acharya, Dr. Mely Caballero-Anthony and Dr. Ralf Emmers conducted a one-day workshop on Non-Traditional Security in Hanoi, Vietnam on 14 September 2006. The workshop was organised jointly by the Asia Foundation (Vietnam) and the Institute of International Relations (IIR), Vietnam.

The Workshop is an integral part of the dissemination programme of the Consortium on Non-Traditional Security Studies in Asia (NTS-Asia). This programme is essentially meant to share to a wider audience, beyond the academic community, the importance of non-traditional security issues. The Workshops, in particular, are designed to help communities understand how certain issues have become serious security threats and challenges to states and societies in Asia and to share experiences on how these threats have been addressed.
