The Strategic Perspectives on the Indo-Pacific podcast follows the Chatham House research team as it travels to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, India, the Kingdom of Tonga and Japan to talk to strategic and policy experts about how they see the region evolving over the next few years.
Recorded between September 2019 and March 2020, the series captures trends as they were before COVID-19 and the global lockdown. The research paper, Indo-Pacific strategies, perceptions and partnerships: The view from seven countries, continues the story as it developed over the following year.
In this episode, recorded in October 2019, the team is in Paris, at the home of the project’s French partner, the Institute Francais des relations internationals, where research lead Cleo Paskal speaks with Dr. Francoise Nicolas.
