Extended Nuclear Deterrence in the Indo-Pacific
Description
In this episode of Asia Insight, we explore a recent NBR research project that examined the cumulative impact of three trends—the evolution of the Indo-Pacific geopolitical landscape, recurring questions about U.S. alliance commitments, and domestic political debates on nuclear armament—on the sustainability of U.S. extended deterrence and nuclear restraint in Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
Zack Cooper is the project’s Principal Investigator, and he is also a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
Bee Yun Jo is a Research Fellow in the Center for Security Strategy at the Sejong Institute in South Korea.
Lavina Lee is Director of the Foreign Policy and Defence Program at the United States Studies Centre, University of Sydney in Australia.
