Panel 1: Geopolitics, Economic Security, Competition, and Cooperation

FPRI–Wilson Center Symposium: Economic Security and Geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific

As the world begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, risks to global growth persist from the spillover effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and seismic shifts in the international order. Acute disruptions to the global economy have led to a rethinking of economic security and relations among nations in the Indo-Pacific and the world’s two largest economies.

How are China, Japan, and the United States positioning themselves in light of growing technology competition and the emergence of separate technology spheres?
