Associate Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Titli Basu’s article ‘US-Japan-India: Risks and Rewards in the Indo-Pacific’ was published in Global Asia Vol.15 (1) January-March 2020.

With elevated 2+2 and ministerial-level US-Japan-India discussions, they have co-ordinated their forward thinking while navigating the risks and opportunities that this maritime super-region presents. However, it is important to note the ambiguities and subtle gaps in each stakeholder’s interpretation of the Indo-Pacific as they tap into collective capabilities in pursuit of common strategic interests.
