Asia’s Arc of Advantage India, ASEAN and the US: Shaping Asian Architecture FOREWORD The world is witnessing profound changes due to the sustained growth of several emerging economies in Asia. The US National Intelligence Council’s 2012 assessment of global trends concludes that by 2030, “diffusion of power will restore Asia’s weight in the global economy to a level not seen since 1750.” However, this structural shift in global power has yet to be buttressed by shared normative frameworks and security architecture in the region increasingly being termed the “Indo-Pacific”, encompassing all members of the East Asia Summit from India east to the United States. Against this backdrop, the historic India-ASEAN Commemorative Summit was held in New Delhi in December 2012. The “Vision Statement” of the Summit underlined the need for a stable and peaceful regional environment, ASEAN’s centrality in open, balanced and inclusive regional architecture, and enhanced India-ASEAN co-operation for maritime security, freedom of navigation, and the peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with international law. The ICRIER Wadhwani Chair in India-US Policy Studies organised its first international conference a few weeks after this summit, bringing together senior policymakers and leading experts to discuss India’s updated “Look East Policy” (LEP), the US “pivot” or “rebalance” towards the Asia-Pacific, and the evolving regional architecture in East Asia. The event, Emerging Asia – Track 1.5 Conference, held on February 19, 2013, was a collaborative effort by the ICRIER Wadhwani Chair, the CSIS Wadhwani Chair and the CSIS Sumitro Chair for Southeast Asia Studies, with participation and support from India’s Ministry of External Affairs and the US Department of State. Participants stressed the need for all stakeholders with shared interests in the region to identify areas of convergence and explore the possibility of enhanced collaboration between India, ASEAN and the United States. Summary assessments of the conference by the ICRIER Wadhwani US Chair and the CSIS Wadhwani India Chair are included in this report. The CSIS Wadhwani Chair launched its detailed report emanating from the conference entitled “Enhancing India-ASEAN Connectivity” on June 3, 2013. The executive summary of this report is at Appendix A. | iii
