The Australia-United Kingdom-United States (AUKUS) technology transfer agreement has the potential to accelerate cutting-edge military innovation, deepen ties between Washington and Canberra, and shift the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region. However, if specific elements of the pact are not properly handled, the deal could have unintended consequences that undermine its core goals. How should the AUKUS partners proceed in this early stage? Should the agreement become a model for other U.S. allies and partners? Join Hudson Institute and the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC) for a co-hosted conversation on this timely issue with Hudson Senior Fellows Bryan Clark and John Lee and NPEC Executive Director Henry Sokolski.
