Research and Publications

An active research faculty conducts research and writing about Asia-Pacific security issues in support of the Center’s mission. These specialists, working in their areas of expertise, analyze middle- to long-range Asia-Pacific security issues and their potential implications for the United States. The publications aim to advance the regional discourse on security, and to provide useful analysis and information for the U.S. policy-making community, as well as for security analysts and practitioners in other Asia-Pacific countries. The publications program also supports the philosophy and mission of the Center by: enriching the curriculum, continuing alumni education, and creating exchange opportunities with counterpart institutions and libraries throughout the region. 

The publications program comprises of three types of publications. . The Asia-Pacific Security Studies series presents 3,500 word analyses that address mid-term, security-related issues and developments of policy relevance. The Occasional Papers series presents 6,000 to 7,000 word assessments of longer-term security issues in the region, and reflects significant research efforts. Finally, the Asia-Pacific Center Monographs series presents 100 to 200 page monographs on key issues in regional security. Monographs are expected to be notable contributions to the field of Asia-Pacific security. Also in the monograph series are edited volumes emanating from APCSS research collaborations and conferences.

Visiting Researchers

To promote an exchange of views on security issues between APCSS faculty and specialists from throughout the region, the Research and Publications Division regularly hosts visiting researchers for one to three months and a distinguished visiting researcher for up to one year.  The visiting researchers make an important contribution to the Center in two ways: first, they provide occasional papers or other deliverables on relevant issues.  Second, as most visiting researchers are from the Asia-Pacific region, they are able to provide in-house expertise regarding Asia-Pacific approaches and opinions on security issues. Selection is based on a favorable match between the visiting researcher’s interests and background and current needs of APCSS.  Potential applicants may contact the Director of Research and Publications for more information.
