This tenth annual publication by International Institute for Strategic Studies includes detailed discussion and analysis of major Asia-Pacific regional security themes. The Ukraine war has provided a reminder that ‘unprovoked aggression and territorial conquest’ by major powers remains a risk, deepening perceptions of military threats in the region. This development, the experts write, may accelerate trends in the Asia-Pacific towards higher military spending, faster military modernisation and efforts to develop national defence capabilities. Moreover, Russia’s invasion may lead the US and its international partners to rethink how they deter China, particularly in respect of its potential use of force against Taiwan.
