American, Australian and Japanese Perspectives on a Changing Security Environment
Abstract
The rise of China and India, the spread of nuclear weapons, shifting economic patterns, and perceived limits to American power are all reshaping the strategic landscape of the Asia-Pacific region. Traditional relationships, such as those between the United States and its allies, are changing as new relationships among regional powers are forming. This project envisions a report co-authored by a team of experts from the United States, Australia, and Japan, examining each country’s views of international security in the Asia-Pacific region, nuclear deterrence and reassurance, and nonproliferation issues. The report will be circulated widely among national security leaders inside and outside of government in the three countries. This research will benefit the field of strategic studies, and the strategic studies community, by highlighting both congruent and divergent views of the security environment, threats, uncertainties, and deterrence among the United States and its two closest allies in Asia – Australia and Japan. In so doing, the project will foster greater understanding among the three security communities. The project will also raise awareness of security, deterrence, and proliferation issues among national security elites outside of government in the three countries. Finally, it will identify an agenda for future research.
