Historic tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the Taiwan Strait, and elsewhere throughout the Indo-Pacific region remain potential flashpoints of conflict. Initiatives to manage old enmities and new competition bring their own challenges: the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue or “Quad” (the US, Japan, Australia, India), the Australia-UK-US (AUKUS), and South Korean efforts to improve relations with Japan and tighten the alliance with the United States. The Russia-Ukraine war also poses unexpected consequences for the Indo-Pacific. What are the prospects for peace and stability, and how should U.S. policy proceed? Join the military and geopolitical strategist Dr. Patrick M. Cronin, Hudson Institute Chair for Asia-Pacific Security, and our expert panel for a comprehensive assessment.
