Project Title

For international dialogue and outreach on security challenges in Northeast Asia

Date

Mar. 09, 2023

Duration

36 months

Description

The growing salience of Northeast Asia to regional and global security calls for continued dialogue between American and Asian experts and policymakers. The National Committee on American Foreign Policy’s (National Committee) Forum on Asia-Pacific Security (FAPS) has a proven ability to convene high-level dialogues both remotely and in-person with American, Chinese, Japanese, and (until recently) Russian experts, officials, former officials, and scholars, as well as, when circumstances permit, their North Korean counterparts. While never a substitute for official diplomacy, Track II and Track 1.5 (involving officials in their private capacities) convenings have played an important, informal coordinating role between the United States and key actors in Northeast Asia and have kept unofficial channels of communication open when official talks have been constrained or nonexistent. In selecting dialogue participants, the FAPS team incorporates a range of political views, ethnicities, research backgrounds, and levels of policy experience, as well as seeks gender balance. The project also involves private policymaker briefings, public events, and regular written outputs on its findings.

The National Committee on American Foreign Policy (the National Committee) has a proven ability to convene high-level dialogues with American, South Korean, Chinese, and Japanese experts, officials, former officials, and scholars, as well as, when circumstances permit, their North Korean counterparts. While never a substitute for official diplomacy, Track II and Track 1.5 (involving officials) dialogues have played an important role in helping the U.S. coordinate its strategy in Northeast Asia with key allies and partners in the region, and in keeping unofficial channels of communication open with North Korea, both when official talks with the U.S. government are ongoing and when they are not.

The National Committee on American Foreign Policy (the National Committee) is one of the core grantees in the International Peace and Security (IPS) program’s North Korea Track II cluster, with a proven ability to convene high-level dialogue with American experts, officials and former officials; and scholars in the U.S., South Korea, China and Japan, as well as with their North Korean counterparts. While never a substitute for official diplomacy, Track II and Track 1.5 (involving officials) dialogues have played an important role in helping the U.S. coordinate its strategy in Northeast Asia with key allies and partners in the region, and keeping channels of communication open with North Korea, which currently has no diplomatic relations with the United States. With Corporation support, the National Committee’s authoritative network has made an important contribution to the policy process, as current and former officials attest.
