歴代政権の対中政策を整理した図です。個々の位置づけには議論があると思いますが、示したかったのは左上の第2象限の重要性です。米国の強く信頼できるコミットメントを確保しつつ、China-inを追求する。この組み合わせが、日中関係の進展と日本外交全体に相乗効果を生むと論じました。

Australian Foreign Affairs最新号に寄稿しました。強固な日米同盟を前提とするChina-in戦略が、日中関係と日本外交全体に相乗効果を生むという主旨です。歴代政権の変遷を2軸図で整理し、中国側にも「離米・親中」より「同盟重視・対中関与」の相手と組む意義を論じました。

A great @AusForeign episode featuring @SamRoggeveen on intelligence and policy. Sam & @ouranu's Hugh White explain different forms: SIGINT, HUMINT, & OSINT. I wish Sam & Hugh had discussed one of the most important: PETINT (pet espionage - for food).

In June 2024 I wrote a long essay for @AusForeign proposing an Australia-Indonesia military alliance. In light of this week's announcement about a new treaty, I want to note something I got wrong in that essay: australianforeignaffairs.com…
Australia and Indonesia have announced plans for a landmark security treaty. Why? How close could they become? Would they ever fight together?
