“One Belt One Road: Dimensions, Detours, Fissures and Fault Lines” is the title of an article published by DKI APCSS Professor Dr. Mohan Malik in The American Interest (online and print editions).

China is thus building an empire of ‘exclusive economic enclaves’ (EEEs) run by Chinese conglomerates through a network of ‘geo-economic alliances’ to usher in the age of Pax Sinica. Beijing’s growing might has strengthened [...]

By |2019-10-24T10:11:32-10:00February 26th, 2018|Categories: Faculty, College, Faculty Articles, Reeves, External Publications, news|

DKI APCSS Professor Dr. Jeffrey Reeves had an article entitled "China’s Silk Road Economic Belt Initiative: Network and Influence Formation in Central Asia" published on Taylor & Francis Online's website. Abstract This article demonstrates that, rather than constituting a new model for Central Asian international relations, the SREB’s real strategic value for China is as an organizational concept and as an influence multiplier.

In so doing, the Xi administration has consolidated its multiple lines [...]

Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies’ Military Professor Col. James M. Minnich recently published an article entitled "North Korea Solution, Changed Regime" in Military Review. Here's an excerpt from the article: An effective changed-regime policy would quickly undertake a series of actions that should eventually align North Korean interests with those of the United States, bringing the entire Korean Peninsula into Washington’s security sphere. At present, Washington’s interests are not Pyongyang’s interests, which is why a changed-regime policy is needed to effect persistent change. America’s chief interest is for Pyongyang to abolish its nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons program. [...]

“Forthcoming Asia Strategy Should Avoid Second-handed Pitfalls” is a new OpEd published by DKI APCSS military professor and U.S. Marine Corp Lt. Col. Scott D. McDonald by The National Interest. In this OpEd, McDonald states that “whether discussing military tactics and strategy, economic policy, or diplomacy, the narrative in the United States is one of reaction and countering a powerful and leading PRC. By focusing on opposing the PRC, the United States has inadvertently become a second-handed actor, driven not by its own values and interests, but by those to which it is reacting.” He further states that “the United States [...]
