OFFICE/DEPARTMENT
The East-West Center in Washington invites you to the
60 Minutes for the EWC 60th Anniversary Virtual Seminar Series:
The Benefits of Strategic Trade Control Implementation
for Southeast Asia
Featuring:
Dr. Crystal D. Pryor
(EWCW Japan Studies Visiting Fellow, 2012)
Director, Non-proliferation, Technology, and Fellowships
Pacific Forum
Dr. Satu P. Limaye (Moderator)
Vice President, East-West Center &
Director, East West Center in Washington
Dr. Pryor presented the Pacific Forum’s study on the costs and benefits associated with national nonproliferation measures. UN Security Council Resolution 1540
(2004) mandates that all member states maintain appropriate effective national export controls to prevent WMD proliferation. Yet many countries, including those within Southeast Asia, are concerned about the economic consequences of adopting and implementing strategic trade controls (STC). This study therefore seeks to assess the effects of STC implementation globally and within ASEAN member states. After sharing the findings that STC implementation is actually associated with very positive economic outcomes, Dr. Pryor briefly discussed contemporary export control applications and what they mean for the nonproliferation regime in Asia.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the East-West Center and its mission to promote better relations and understanding among the people and nations of the United States, Asia, and the Pacific through cooperative study, research, and dialogue. The East-West Center in Washington (EWCW)’s 60 Minutes for the EWC 60th Anniversary Alumni Seminar Series will highlight the work of EWCW alumni who have participated in our fellowship, publication, dialogue and conference programs.
