The Trans Sahara Counter Terrorism Partnership

/reports/2014/the-trans-sahara-counter-terrorism-partnership

The Trans Sahara Counter Terrorism Partnership (TSCTP) is a multiyear, interagency program aimed at countering terrorism (CT) and countering violent extremism (CVE) in the Sahel and Maghreb. By U.S. government standards, TSCTP is an exceptional program for its ability to marshal interagency resources in support of a multifaceted approach to regional security that spans the “3Ds” – Diplomacy, Defense, and Development. However, like many other foreign assistance programs, TSCTP is not without planning and implementation challenges, which will be detailed in this study.

Exploring the India China Relationship

/reports/2010/exploring-the-india-china-relationship

China and India have interacted with one another for thousands of years, especially in the areas of trade and religion. For centuries, however, the scope of their interaction was limited by the barrier of the Himalayan Mountains. When each country established a new government—India in 1947 and China in 1949—the relationship began to shift, and the two countries established formal diplomatic relations in 1950. The same year, China invaded Tibet, thus eliminating the geographic buffer between China and India. The China-India relationship was further altered in 1962, when Indian troops moved to assert Indian territorial rights along the disputed Himalayan border with China. In response, China launched a counter-offensive and pushed the Indian troops back from the border. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) moved into India’s northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and part of Kashmir, killing 3,000 Indian troops. Since this clash, China and India have maintained the world’s longest unresolved border dispute.
