1. International Conference

I. Peace Process Exchange Workshop

“Keys to Shift Conflicts from Armed to Dialogue” ■Date: Thursday, August 2 - Friday, August 3, 2012 ■Venue: Large Conference Room, Graduate School of Social Sciences, Hiroshima University ■Medium of Communication: English ■Cosponsored by: JICA, IDE-JETRO, Hiroshima prefecture, UNITAR ■Participating countries and regions: Mindanao, Nepal, Ache, and West Papua as an observer

HiPeC held an international workshop under the theme of the “Keys to Shift Conflicts from Armed to Dialogue” in Hiroshima University from 2nd August to 3rd August. HiPeC, since it started second phase in 2010, has tried to build a collaboration system of three parties among University’s researchers, practitioners and local actors to assist indigenous initiative for peacebuilding, and organized seminars to share experiences. And we elaborated a system by which researchers those who are connected indirectly to local society could gain local knowledge and experience. Its practice is embodied as overseas field offices Kathmandu in Nepal set up in September 2010 and Mindanao in Philippines set up in February 2011. We have delegated HiPeC researchers and university’s lecturer related to the project. Building a network with partners, HiPeC invited guests from conflict/post-conflict area and organized international conference with distinctive concept to exchange experiences, utilizing the unique atmosphere that Hiroshima brings on. In this workshop, in addition to Nepal and Philippines, we invited guests from Ache and West Papua placed at the periphery of Indonesia as a major country in Southeast Asia. We organized the workshop to find a clue toward peace through the exchange of experience in different countries by clarifying keys to shift conflicts from armed to dialogue through the three party talks among government, armed group and civil society. On first day, each country of Indonesia, Philippines and Nepal discussed the turning point down to dialogue among parties in respective context, and shared their own experiences and current problems. On second day, we discussed comprehensively about relation between internal negotiation related to the development of conflict in each area and influence from international environment surrounding the countries. As a result of this, we reached to the conclusion that there is no uniform formula to shift conflicts from armed to dialogue in actual peace process. On the other, we confirmed that we can find a strategic approach by comparing different case to turn conflict to dialogue.

We assembled at Hiroshima, City of Peace, Japan, from 2 to 3 August 2012 to discuss the issue of peace processes

in Aceh, Bangsamoro (Mindanao) and Nepal on the keys to shift from arms to dialogue and reached conclusion as follows:

1. The difference of real conditions of various conflicts

around the world should be recognized and there would be no universally applicable formula to solve them.

2. There are some common issues such as self-determination with or without secession but conditions to achieve/settle them are not identical.

3. Elements to change the policy of both of contending parties should be pursued in particular conditions of the conflict.

4. Effective communication between and within the contending parties should be encouraged.

5. Domestic and multilateral supports can create necessary environment for peaceful settlement of the conflict.

First speaker Yusuke Bessho discussed the feud between china capital initiated development of Buddhism and opponents of domestic Himalayan Buddhist, focusing on relation between Buddhism and development. Bessho clarified the current juncture in which social role of religion is reconsidered by claiming anti-thesis from Himalayan Buddhist that politics initiated development disturb practice of Buddhism tradition. Second speaker Fumayun Kabir focused on the upsurge of Madhesi identity politics in southern part of Nepal. He showed process in which Madhesi identity appear in power relation between center and periphery, and segmented identities within madhesi group stirred up madeshi identity by his detailed field research outcome in village. Last speaker, Takakiyo Koizumi discussed a viable

framework for assistance by his experience that he saw the process Constituent Assembly come to an end. He raised his own viewpoint like a structure of great center, center and periphery, situation of political vacuum, locating China and India as great center. After the presentations, there was discussion on feasibility of China capital initiated development, unity within madhesi group, and the characteristics of power relation in Nepal. The discussion showed, in the process of that Nepal try to integrate nation from two paradigm of inclusive democracy and federal system, difficulty contemporary Nepal faces is seen in situation of shrinking central power after the fall of monarchy and periphery swaying between two power of China and India as a great center. Then, in conjunction with the movement in the national periphery, even Parbate Hindu which sat in the national center has began to insist their own peculiarity in response to the move toward ethnicity-based autonomy and federal system. Political juncture which can be called the struggle for the all people of all people is appearing in Nepal. We reconfirmed that assistance as a support to shift spiral of futile identity struggle to arbitration is required, and creating new framework is needed in current juncture after the Constituent Assembly dissolved.

After ending the presentation, the following issues have emerged as focus in the discussion with participants. First, professionalism and a strong sense of mission in the vision of the reconstruction would appears, only faced with massive change in irresistible. Second, looking back to the origin of the reconstruction of Hiroshima, in current Japan, there is a need for ad hoc resilience to social change such as disaster reconstruction, reorganization of democracy, and aged society. Third, the power of human resources who can consider the concept of total design is essential in order to prevent stumble at the time of the start of the changes. 3) The 33rd HiPeC Seminar Co-organized by UNITAR Prospects of Peace and Indigenous Capacity Development in Post-2014 Afghanistan Date: 3:30pm-7:30pm Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Venue: Conference Room B1F, Intl Conference Center HIROSHIMA (Naka-ku, Hiroshima City) Session 1 Speaker1: Musa Kamawi (Director, Human Resources for the Ministry Finance, Kabul; Graduate, UNITAR Fellowship for Afghanistan Program), “Capacity development of the local community in Afghanistan in post-conflict, 2001-2012-2014” Speaker 2: Haruyuki Shimada (Advisor, South Asia Division 2,South Asia Department, JICA, Tokyo), “Is it sustainable to assist Afghanistan? Issues in post-2014” Speaker 3: SIDDIQI Hedayatullah (Master’s Program Student, IDEC,Hiroshima University), “Political Crisis between Afghanistan and Pakistan and its Impact on regional security”

Moderator: Osamu Yoshida, Chair of HiPeC, Hiroshima University Session 2 Roundtable Discussion: “Peace and Indigenous Capacity Development in Afghanistan: Present Context and Future Prospect” chaired by Mr. TURNER Brandon (Officer in Charge, Hiroshima Office), Language: English Number of Participants: 1st Session/20, 2nd Session/48 Outline: After decades-long conflict and war, security and stability in Afghanistan are not to be achieved yet. Despite the fall Taliban in 2001, the country has been enduring irregular war and conflicts for more than a decade. Though the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), which has assumed responsibilities of providing security, governance, reconstruction and development in the country, is expected to leave and hand over their roles to Afghanistan government in 2014, no one can guarantee a durable peace in post- 2014 Afghanistan. In this context, the roles of international community in promoting peace, security, governance and development in Afghanistan should be reconsidered. This seminar would address issues of Afghanistan from points of view of local community and international community. In 1st Session, two speakers from Afghanistan and one expert from JICA have discussed about the prospects of peace and indigenous capacity development in Afghanistan in post-conflict, after 2014. 1st Spaker, Mr. Musa Kamawi, has explained about the development of political structure, economic system and governance system in the past 10 years, and has shown that Afghanistan in recent years had been remarkable development compared in 2002. For example, national income per capita has increased from $157 to $629, foreign currency reserves from $100 million to $6.4 billion, domestic revenue from zero to $2 billion. The improvement of the economics, governance and politics in this region has led to the return of 5.7 million Afghan refugees to home country in the past 10 years. Mr. Kamawi has shown that Afghanistan, however, is in need of continued support from the international community for long term safety and economic development. If support from the international community is continued during the decade 2014-2024, the 10 years should be in transition. 2nd Speaker, Mr. Shimada, has pointed out that the year 2014 when presidential election would be held and security authority be transferred to the Afghan Government from ISAF is going to be a turning point. Though there is uncertainty, the international community has promised to continue to support Afghanistan in the 10 times International Conferences. Though Afghanistan has the need for financial support, donor countries will not continue to support it permanently. It is important to

－ 5－

effectively utilize the assistance funds. Mr. Shimada has explained that international community has pledged $ 16 billion, that Japan would provide assistance of $ 3 trillion over the next five years. He has also introduced that JICA has carried out several projects in Afghanistan. The effective use of security, governance and assistance will be important for the international community to assist Afghan people and the government. 3rd Speaker, Mr. Shiddiqi, has examined the historical legacy of the conflict in Afghanistan. He has pointed out that boundary problem over Durand Line between Afghanistan and Pakistan by the British colonial rule has produced the origin of the conflict in post-colonial period. Afghanistan conflict is also due to the Cold War and the global anti-terrorism war. The role of the United States and Pakistan are closely related to the history of the conflict in this region. For example, hidden policy of Pakistan has led to support the Taliban, and to split into factions. As a result, the people of Afghanistan tend to move to the radical and religious ethnocentrism rather than to unite under the Afghan nationalism. Therefore, peace in Afghanistan depends on whether Afghanistan is possible to eliminate the interference from the outside and to deal with all ethnic religious exploitation. After presentations, many questions were raised from participants, such as process of national reconstruction, state building, security, nationalism and unity among Afghan people, military spending, refugees, border issues with neighboring countries and so on. 50 participants took part in the roundtable discussion chaired by Mr. TURNER Brandon. Professor Yoshida was on stage as a presenter with Mr. Kamawi and Mr. Shimada. Prof. Yoshida made at first, description of the business of HiPeC Hiroshima University and then discussed that while showing the relationship between the characteristics of the conflict in Afghanistan and Asia, the international community should support the peace building assistance as an exit strategy. Though it is impossible to continue to support Afghanistan permanently, the international community has a responsibility to build a self-reliant Afghanistan, because Afghan society had been destroyed by wrong policies and interferences from several countries. Mr. Kamawi and Mr. Shimada have shown presentations in 1st Session again. There was a question in the debate over security, governance, employment of women, and the role of the international community.

Commentator: Takeshi Kawanaka, Director (Southeast Asian Studies Group I, Area Studies Center, IDE-JETRO) Number of Participants: 32 Outline: 1st Presentation: The Japanese Government has been working actively through JICA in the Mindanao Peace Process from the previous stage of the ceasefire agreement which achieving peace agreement with the Philippine Government and the MILF led to. The characteristics and contribution of unique approach by Japanese government as a trinity which has been direct participation in peace negotiations, personnel dispatching as international observers (IMT), and official development assistance (ODA) by J-BIRD has been discussed. 2nd Presentation: Alternative conflict resolution system which has been performed under the influence of conflict in Muslim society by Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), civil society, and arbitration by Barangay alliance has been analyzed as a case study of the everyday problems that had developed into armed conflict in Mindanao. Based on the current situation, the possibility of a variety of hybrid conflict settlement system in the transition period has been examined in order to ensure the security of communities in the transition period of the security sector and the “normalization” MILF had claimed.

He explained that Kashmir showed UN their will to defer decision on belongingness before India got independence. However, India denied their will and decided annexation of Kashmir forcefully, and Pakistan started military intervention against the annexation. This became root cause of conflict in Kashmir. Under the conflict, nuclear competition between India and Pakistan was triggered. In order to solve conflict based on people’s will, options were proposed such as referendum under the UN control without any influence from India and Pakistan, and independence from both countries. In second presentation, he showed the need to solve problems based on local initiative referring to geological feature, multi-ethnicity of Afghanistan, and its influence to conflict. He said that stabilizing the region is difficult due to location of Afghanistan where is the route to carry natural resources and crossroads of central, south and west Asia. He emphasized that neighboring countries including US should stop intervening and proposed that minimum agenda respected with local point of view is required to solve the problem. In Q&A session, there was free and vigorous discussion based on various questions. Questions were concerned with influences of military strategy of America and Pakistan under the cold war on Kashmir conflict or SAARC’s influence on the southern Asia. Issues about the necessity of a holistic view including China factor and how to secure

representativeness in a culturally diverse society were also raised in the session.

2) The 30th HiPeC In-house Seminar

Anthropological Analysis of Discourse of Sea Level Rise around Tuvalu Date : 5:00pm-6:30pm Friday, July 13, 2012 Venue: Room A206, IDEC 2nd Flr, Hiroshima Univ. Speaker: Araki Haruka, HiPeC Research Assistant Moderator: Osamu Yoshida (Professor and Chair, HiPeC, Hiroshima Univ.) Number of Participants: 20 Outline: First of all, she explained briefly about worldwide interest to global warming and actual effect of sea level rise in Tuvalu which becomes main factor to constitute discourse over Tuvalu. In general, an image that regards Tuvalu as a tragic submerging country due to sea level rise by global warming is solidified in 1980s, when international conference on global warming was held actively and international interest was rising. In this context, president of the country accused his complaint to developed countries in 2002, and foreign media began to take Tuvalu as an environmental refugee. However, sea level rise in Tuvalu where is the place to be affected by El Nino is not explained simply because of direct influence of global warming. Then, she explained that erosion or immersion on coast can be seen only in capital city Funafuti, and the city is basically place to be inundated by change in tidal stream. And also reduction of foraminifer by damaged environment due to population growth is causing inundation of the place. Nevertheless, discourse formed in capital is generalized in other area by school education and media report. She emphasized the need to look at actual problems Tuvalu faces behind the environmental discourse such as garbage problem, population growth and water pollution. There were questions as follows. Who benefits from discourse over sea level rise in Tuvalu, hoow local people access to discourse, What kind of activity is appearing to solve daily environmental deterioration, whether anxiety remained in local society after discourse was misused, and whether we should refrain from entering for interviews to protect Tuvalu.

In view of these circumstances, the presenter has suggested that the peacebuilding model based on hybrid conflict resolution mechanism which demonstrated the strength to handle conflicts and maintain security with tied micro actors within the community and public actors such as public institutions was better than the concept of traditional top-down peacebuilding. In the presentation, two examples that has shown the progress on prevention and resolution of conflicts in the field were picked up, and the framework of problem-solving internally was examined.

7) The 35th HiPeC In-house Seminar Peace, Security and Coexistence: The Cases of Mindanao(Philippines) & Tarai(Nepal) Date: 16：00-18：30 Friday, February 2, 2013 Speaker1: Humayun Kabir (HiPeC Research Fellow, Hiroshima Univ.) "Identity Politics, Conflict Transformation and Ethno-Regionalism in Nepal's Tarai: The Post-Maoist Context" Speaker2: Meg Kagawa (HiPeC Research Fellow, Hiroshima Univ.) "For Stable Community Security in Transition: Possibilities of Hybrid Conflict Resolution Mechanisms" Number of Participants: 18 Outline: In the first presentation, the discussion of ethno-regionalism in Nepal based on the results of the latest village survey was suggested, as a case study of molding process of “Madeshi” identity in Tarai plains of southern Nepal. After the armed uprising of the Maoist, Hindu people in Tarai region have raised identity politics in the historical background of a series of ending monarchy, quickening regionalism, and federalism. Integrated movement of Madeshi led by political elites in some areas has still had difficulty of integrating the entire population of the Tarai with “being Madeshi”, and has been in located in the tense relations with majority and local indigenous community. As “Tarai regionalism” which has already established will continue to hold a strong influence on the future for the central national politics, new forms of conflict within the region may be created.

In the end, it has been pointed out that it is important for formation of higher cognitive efforts of the international community for these local autonomy.

in Mindanao for participants. With taking a look back in history of Mindanao, that the Moro Islamic had concluded agreements with foreign countries and it had established the seven Islamic kingdoms has been described. Long before the modern state was established in Philippine, Bangsamoro people have been exploited historically despite establishing a state and their own political identity. This has become a factor that has produced the armed struggle for approval of freedom, self-determination and national identity over past decades. Currently, their struggle is trying to draw to a close by the framework agreement between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Philippine Government. Bangsa means people, Moro means people who live in southern Philippines. Framework agreement has approved their own identity of Bangsamoro. In other words, it means that people living in this area is not to lump together as Filipino. In the discusson, there were various questions from the participants such as the role of women in the peace process, the state of governance in the future Bangsamoro, the rights of minorities and indigenous people, the relationship between Muslims and Christians, and the integrity of Bangsamoro among the people. Delegation has explained that the Government and the MILF have hoped to reach a comprehensive peace agreement. The peace agreement should be authorized to perform the rule of Bangsamoro people by them. Delegation has shown the idea that Bangsamoro government would has protected the rights of minority and other indigenous people and local traditions, based on the principles of secularism and parliamentary cabinet system.

3．Local Projects

Synergy of two factors such as “practice” and “research and education” is essential for international cooperation to build peace. However, both did not come to be coordinated for international cooperation, and there was a groove between them. For this reason, HiPeC has been trying to provide opportunities for researchers to be provided a practical environment and for practitioners to be provided a research environment. In view of the above, HiPeC peacebuilding research project that is one of the three pillars of HiPeC activities has launched local offices in Kathmandu, Nepal where Nepal Office installed in the Centre of Nepal and Asian Studies, starting in September 2010, and in Davao, Mindanao, Philippines where Philippine Office installed in University of the Philippine Mindanao, starting in February 2011. HiPeC has been developing the interactive activities by dispatching researchers from Hiroshima University for medium or long term, and activating the direct interaction of researchers and practitioners. In addition, HiPeC has invited various actors such as governmental officers, leaders of political party, and representatives of civil society organisation and NGO from both Nepal and Mindanao to Hiroshima, and has provided a forum in Hiroshima in order to share knowledge and experience of various actors who have strived to achieve peace in their local regions. What is the synergistic effect concerning on the local initiatives for two local offices to collaborate with HiPeC? HiPeC has held summary meetings that have concluded the results of the activities during this period, in Nepal on 2nd February 2013, and in Philippines on 4th and 5th February 2013.

Nepal Office of HiPeC

Nepal Office of HiPeC which has launched on the 2nd Floor of the Centre for Nepal and Asian Studies, Tribhuvan University in September, 2010, have produced the opportunity to accept a number of researchers belonging to Hiroshima University, and to gain knowledge about the realities of peacebuilding in post-conflict by the Maoists in Nepal. Currently, peacebuilding process in Nepal has been facing many issues over the two challenges of “federalism” as a foundation of the national design that emcompasses a wide view of domestic population and “inclusion” that fill in the social divide tha has remained among the diverse populations. For the post-conflict situation in Nepal, Nepal Office of HiPeC has been promoting he aggregation of opinions and knowledge exchange between practitioners and intellectuals inside and outside Nepal through four ways, such as holding international conference, managing internal seminars, holding workshop in the organization, and publishing publications.

After reviewing three case studies of conflicts in Asia engaged by HiPeC, namely Aceh, Nepal and Mindanao, he argued in three points, i.e., the importance of the central government’s attitude, timely international intervention and dignity of peripheral groups, concluding that peace process must be inclusive, that comprehensive view must be constructed, and that international society must keep interest.
