Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s article ‘Beyond North Korea: The Japan-South Korea-US Trilateral in the Indo-Pacific’ has been published in ‘The Diplomat’ on 23 February, 2022.
The article examines how does the Japan-South Korea-US trilateral shape Washington’s outlook towards the Indo-Pacific region as a whole? Will its focus remain concentrated on the dangers of the North Korean nuclear weapons program, via mechanisms like its Trilateral Coordination Oversight Group, or will it look to become a stabilizing platform for alliance politics in the Indo-Pacific?
