Hudson Senior Fellow James Przystup’s recent study examines how the Indo-Pacific security environment evolved during 2022, in part because of measures by key regional actors—such as the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, and India—to strengthen deterrence. In addition, these countries expanded their diplomatic coordination and security cooperation, which reflected a strategic commitment among the region’s democracies to support a rules-based order and advance a shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific. At the same time, European democracies have continued to expand diplomatic and security engagement with Indo-Pacific partners.

In this event, Dr. Przystup and other experts will reflect on recent changes in the Indo-Pacific, how the US and its allies are working to build a multilayered network to shape the region’s strategic environment, and where greater cooperation and coordination are still needed.
