Rewiring Japan’s National Security Strategy in Post-COVID Indo-Pacific
With Chinese unilateral efforts altering the maritime status quo on the one hand and lack of progress on denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula on the other, Japan is revisiting its strategic options.
Estimating India’s Defence Manpower
