Trilateral Cooperation to Strengthen Extended Deterrence
Abstract
Strengthening the US extended deterrent in Northeast Asia is becoming more urgent and difficult. The Pacific Forum’s initiative, “Trilateral Cooperation to Strengthen Extended Deterrence in Northeast Asia,” will together US national security specialists and counterparts from Japan and South Korea (ROK) to build the dialogue and opportunities between the three countries toward a stronger collective effort for extended deterrence through a two-day US-Japan-ROK Trilateral Strategic Dialogue that will be held on Maui in the summer of 2015. This project will identify ways the three countries can work together to secure their national interests and reinforce US extended deterrence. It will probe each country’s specific concerns about the US extended deterrent in a changing regional security environment, as well as the concerns regarding the security policies of the other allies. It will also focus on ways to surmount the problems in Japan-ROK relations that hinder trilateral cooperation on issues of shared concern in order to help harmonize allied approaches to perceived WMD/WME threats emanating from elsewhere in the region. The initiative will be led by Brad Glosserman, Executive Director, Pacific Forum CSIS, from January 1 to December 31, 2015.
