This week, we conducted our Suva Dialogue on Security in the Pacific and Asia, bringing together experts from across the Pacific Islands and Asia to explore how countries can collectively future-proof the wider Asia-Pacific region against shared security risks and challenges. Joel Petersson Ivre examines the implications of increasing nuclear salience in Japan and South Korea for crisis stability, arms race stability and arms control in East Asia.
As always, we highlight recent activities from our network, including analysis on challenges for multilateralism in the Global South, South Korea-US tariff negotiations, nuclear norms and the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT), the Pahalgam terror attack, and South Korean public sentiment on nuclear armament.
