AUKUS and the Indo-Pacific

AUKUS has elicited mixed impressions in the Indo-Pacific region since its inception, from an example of a Cold -War mentality to support for the initiative anchoring deterrence capabilities in the region. How can we understand this new minilateral relationship? Why is it important? Are there ways for non-AUKUS members such as Japan and Canada to plug into this minilateral to add value?

To help us answer these questions, YCAPS' Indo-Pacific Policy Dialogue is happy to welcome Tom Corben, Research Fellow at the University of Sydney's United States Centre.
