Executive Course: Advanced Security Cooperation  (EC)

Description: 

An intensive program which focuses on building relationships among mid-career security-practitioner leaders and decision-makers within the region.  Course is composed of three elements:  a Core Curriculum, an Advanced Studies Program of electives and a Professional Enhancement Program that includes skills courses, guest speakers and possibly field trips.  Fellows examine present and future regional security issues, assess regional and transnational threats impacting the Asia-Pacific region, examine the roles of all involved in security and security-cooperation programs, and practice multi-lateral, multi-national collaboration toward needed security approaches and solutions.  The curriculum focuses on the non-warfighting aspects of regional and global security, now and ahead, and is divided into three modules:  (1) Security Foundations & Perspectives, (2) Transnational Security Issues & Challenges, and (3) Ways, Means and Ends to Security Cooperation (Governance to Leader Roles and Actions needed).  Throughout the course security is emphasized as a multi-dimensional and linked mix of political, diplomatic, economic, environmental, informational, technological, social and military agendas and factors.  Study and discussion emphasize cultural, as well as national- and regional-level strategies and policies.
