In December, APCSS professor Dr. Donald Berlin  visited India as part of the United States Department of State U.S. Speaker and Specialist Program.  The program is intended to inform  and engage international audiences about U.S. policy and society.

Dr. Berlin addressed various audiences and participated in media interviews while visiting Mumbai, Goa, Kochi, Kottayam, Chennai and Kokata.  Topics included maritime security, nuclear weapons, Indo-U.S. relations, and Indian Ocean geopolitics.

He also presented an academic paper on "Evolving Trends in Maritime Security in the Indian Ocean" at an international symposium in Chennai sponsored by the Centre for Security Analysis (in Chennai) and the Hanns Seidel Foundation of Munich.

The APCSS addresses regional and global security issues, inviting military and civilian representatives of the United States and 45 Asia-Pacific nations to its comprehensive program of courses and conferences, both in Hawaii and throughout the Asia-Pacific region.  The Center supports the U.S. Pacific Command’s objective of developing professional and personal ties among national security establishments throughout the region.  APCSS focuses on a multilateral and multi-dimensional approach to defining and addressing regional security issues and concerns.  The most beneficial result is building relationships of trust and confidence among future leaders and decision-makers within the region.
