Amidst the Ukraine/Russia, Gaza, and Lebanon Wars, the U.S., its allies, China, and North Korea are eyeball to eyeball in military and economic competitions. An incident, accident, or miscalculation could escalate to war, even nuclear war. Flashpoints include Taiwan; the South China, West Philippine, and East China Seas; and Korea.
For the past year, an international working group of scholars and national peace movement leaders from across the Indo-Pacific region, the United States, and Europe have analyzed these crises and developed common security diplomatic alternatives that can lead to greater peace, justice, and prosperity while building the collaborations needed to challenge the existential nuclear and climate threats.
