I am pleased to inform to you of a roundtable with Senior Visiting Fellow, Dr. Thomas Wilkins, as follows:



*= * = * = * = *= * = *= * = *= * = *= *


Date & time: Friday, March 15, 10:00-11:30


Venue: Conference room, JIIA


Title:"Security in the Asia Pacific: The Dynamics of Alignment" (Book Launch)


The complex security dynamics of the pivotal Asia Pacific region, involving disparate and contentious power blocs, clearly have implications far beyond the region itself. Thomas Wilkins sheds new light on those dynamics, providing a rich framework for better understanding the nature of security alignments in Asia Pacific, as well as a reexamination of the dominant forces at play: the US alliance system, ASEAN, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.



Language: English
