Trilateral Cooperation to Strengthen Extended Deterrence in Northeast Asia
Abstract
Maintenance of the US extended deterrent in Northeast Asia is increasingly difficult as North Korea modernizes its military. China is emboldened by its wealth and power, and doubts swirl around the US commitment to the region and its traditional security role. "Trilateral Cooperation to Strengthen Extended Deterrence in Northeast Asia" will build on Pacific Forum CSIS s work in this area and convene officials and experts from the United States, Japan, and South Korea to assess opportunities and obstacles to the cooperation needed to secure the three countries national interests in this vital region. This project will focus on the three nations perspectives on regional threats and challenges, identifying where they overlap and where they diverge in the face of increasingly sophisticated and capable (potential) adversaries. It will assess how domestic politics facilitates or impedes cooperation, and will scrutinize bilateral dynamics in a rapidly changing domestic and regional environment. The project will provide concrete recommendations for ways cooperation to strengthen deterrence in Northeast Asia and overcome WMD/WME threats. It will also offer unvarnished assessments of allied thinking about US commitment and reliability. The initiative will be led by Brad Glosserman, executive direct, Pacific Forum CSIS, for one year.
