Projects

The Nuclear Order in East Asia project explores the evolving perceptions of the role of nuclear weapons in national and regional security. The project addresses evolving views on US extended deterrence, China’s nuclear modernisation, North Korea’s nuclear program, and regional debates on nuclear latency.
The Maritime Incidents and Escalation in Asia-Pacific project seeks to identify the risks of dangerous maritime incidents in the Asia-Pacific; evaluate the suitability of existing existing bilateral and multilateral arrangements to current strategic realities in the Asia-Pacific; bring forward new proposals to fill important gaps; and help promote effective mechanism for managing and mitigating incidents and escalation at sea. The project is a collaboration with the Verification Research, Training and Information Centre(VERTIC) and is supported by the United States Department of State.
