As the global order shifts, longstanding security arrangements in the Indo-Pacific are under strain. Power balances are changing, alliances are being tested, and key regional partners are rethinking how they deter threats and protect their interests. From Tokyo to Seoul, Canberra and Manila, the U.S.’ Asian allies are reassessing their reliance on external security guarantees and their own deterrence capabilities. This panel brings together International Crisis Group analysts to unpack how defence postures across the region are evolving and what these changes mean for the future of the Indo-Pacific security order.
