New Policy Brief Series on Changing Military Dynamics in East Asia Launched
01/09/2012, 10:13am The first of a new series of policy briefs based on the work of Project SITC researchers is now available for download."Through the Lens of Distance: Understanding and Responding to China’s “Ripples of Capability," by Andrew S. Erickson of the U.S. Naval War College, examines several trends that are emerging as the United States moves beyond its “unipolar moment.” The foremost, in Erickson's estimation, are the rise of developing powers and the proliferation of asymmetric technologies. The Asia-Pacific, with a rising China at its center, is the critical arena in which Washington must respond to these challenges.The brief offers a set of force structure priorities for the United States as it grapples with China’s increasingly sophisticated capabilities.
The series is based on a September 2011 conference "Changing Military Dynamics in East Asia: Grand Strategic and Technological Drivers and the Implications for U.S. and Regional Security" sponsored by U.S. Naval War College and IGCC.This workshop explored the changing military dynamics and landscape in East Asia with particular focus on grand strategic and technological drivers and their implications for U.S. and regional security.
Eleven more briefs are scheduled to be released in January and February 2012.
