We are pleased to share our latest report, Partner & Regional Perspectives on Pacific Maritime Governance. This collection of eleven briefs (excluding the introduction) was first published with the East-West Center on February 20, 2025.
The briefs in this series were created following an international workshop organized by the Yokosuka Council on Asia-Pacific Studies (YCAPS) on September 18, 2024. The workshop was part of a research project which assembled experts tasked with exploring the dynamics of maritime governance in the Pacific and the engagement of external powers in the region.
