ONGOING PROJECTS
Asia-Pacific Strategic Risks
The Asia-Pacific Strategic Risks project convenes government officials, experts, and practitioners from South Korea, Japan, Australia, and the UK to discuss how changing threat perceptions impact new and ongoing proliferation challenges and what policy solutions can address them, including steps to encourage strategic restraint, greater collaboration and carefully honed nuclear risk reduction diplomacy. The project is a collaboration with the European Leadership Network and is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office.
Asia Dialogue on China-US Relations
The APLN Asia Dialogue on China-US Relations examines the growing perception gap between China and the United States – the divergent understandings of a wide range of basic factual issues that lead to deepening mistrust and increasingly pessimistic interpretations of each other’s strategic intent. Bringing together experts from China, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific to debate this phenomenon, including by encouraging self-reflection on how policies and practices might have contributed to it, the project’s goal is to craft a series of practical proposals to help close the gap.
Voices from Pacific Island Countries
Highlighting the relationship between the Anthropocene and contemporary nuclear weapons policies and practices, by amplifying voices from the South Pacific.
Nuclear Weapon Use Risk Reduction
