From Balancing to Coalition-Building: The US, Taiwan, & Asia's Grand Reshuffling

As the Indo-Pacific enters a period of intensified strategic competition, alliances and partnerships across Asia are being redefined. What does this shifting landscape mean for U.S.–Taiwan relations, regional stability, and the future of American strategy? Join us for a timely conversation featuring Steve Yates (former Deputy National Security Advisor, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and a leading analyst of Taiwan and Indo-Pacific security), in dialogue with Tony Saich and Edward Cunningham of the Harvard Kennedy School. Together, they will explore Taiwan’s evolving role in regional geopolitics, the emerging coalition dynamics shaping Asia’s security order, and the implications for U.S. foreign policy and democratic resilience in the region. 

Lunch will be served.

This event is co-sponsored by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
