Overview

Northeast Asia is a sub-region that remains plagued by negative historical legacies and ongoing political rivalries. Despite its remarkable economic growth and nascent attempts at political and economic integration, Northeast Asia is likely to be volatile in the short to mid-term (5-10 years) due to the destabilizing effects of some of the dominant trends impacting security dynamics in the sub-region. Within this context, we will examine some of the major factors affecting security dynamics in Northeast Asia

Objectives

  • Examine major features and currents that shape geopolitical landscape in the Indo-Pacific.
  • Examine key factors influencing great power competition in the Indo-Pacific.
  • In seminar, identify & evaluate options for US policymakers to effect strategy in the Indo-Pacific.
