The National Committee on American Foreign Policy (NCAFP) recently organized a series of virtual Track II discussions with a group of rising scholars with perspectives from the United States, Republic of Korea (ROK), Japan, China, Australia, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the European Union to assess the current state of multilateralism and regional cooperation in the Asia Pacific. The emerging leaders shared their analysis and policy recommendations on a variety of topics regarding reimagined multilateralism, including:
- How has major power competition affected both multilateral and regional institutions?
- What is lacking in terms of a regional architecture for the Asia Pacific?
- Are there any existing institutions or arrangements that can be considered models for expanded cooperation in the Asia Pacific?
- What role can middle powers play in shaping a more conducive environment for multilateral cooperation?
