The Indo-Pacific is the defining geopolitical and military competition of the 21st century.

AUKUS, the Quad, and expanded bilateral alliances are creating new defense cooperation frameworks worth hundreds of billions. Japan has doubled its defense budget. The Philippines is rapidly expanding U.S. basing access. And Taiwan remains the most consequential potential flashpoint in the global security environment.
