The expertise of the South Asian sub-region is robust, so the title of Worst Defence Acquisition System is in safe hands. But Britain’s allies in a post-American world should worry that Blighty is as far ...

The US commitment to Indo-Pacific stability is being tested not by strategic ambiguity but by industrial reality. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s recent notification to Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi that deliveries of US-made Tomahawk ...

Australia has a cybersecurity workforce problem, and part of the explanation is hiding in plain sight: the language of the field actively repels the people we need. Last year, I was on a panel for ...

As Australia strengthens the protection of critical seabed infrastructure, it should draw on Taiwan’s frontline experience. Taiwan has been battling this problem for three years. At the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on 30 May, Deputy ...
