\"Jokowi<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re kicking off this week with a suggestion to look at the testimonies of a range of US Asia experts<\/a> for the US\u2013China Economic and Security Review Commission. Of interest to Strategist<\/i> readers are testimonies on China and evolving security dynamics in East Asia<\/a>, China\u2019s military modernisation and its implications for the US<\/a>, and US\u2013China cybersecurity issues<\/a>, available as transcript or audio file.<\/p>\n

Indonesia\u2019s legislative election is on next Wednesday 9 April, the outcome of which will have some bearing on the future of Australia\u2013Indonesia diplomatic relations. Here\u2019s a quick ABC primer on how these elections work<\/a> and an Economist <\/a><\/i>piece on what they\u2019ll mean for the presidency<\/a>. For more in-depth analysis, check out New Mandala<\/i>\u2019s \u2018Indonesia Votes\u2019 feature with stories on the latest polls on the July presidential race<\/a> and a profile on Jokowi<\/a>, the man tipped to be Indonesia\u2019s new leader.<\/p>\n

Our podcast partners over at the Center for International Maritime Security (CIMSEC) have released the inaugural edition of Sea Control\u2019s \u2018East Atlantic\u2019 series (ASPI being the lead for their \u2018Asia Pacific\u2019 segments). For this episode, Alexander Clarke from the UK\u2019s Phoenix Think Tank discusses the challenges and misconceptions of the F-35 program<\/a> with Steve George, a former engineer with the F-35 program and Royal Navy veteran. For more Sea Control podcasts, see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our next pick is a\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/i> column penned by former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates<\/a> in which he outlines how to deal with Russia. According to Gates, the only way to deal with Putin\u2019s ambitions is for the \u2018West also to play a strategic long game\u2019. There\u2019ll be costs to a hardened stance towards Russia, he argues, but \u2018[t]acit acceptance of settling old revanchist scores by force is a formula for ongoing crises and potential armed conflict, whether in Europe, Asia or elsewhere.\u2019<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in North Korea, here\u2019s the video of a panel discussion on new thinking on diplomacy towards DPRK<\/a>. Shin-wha Lee (Korea University), Feng Zhu (Peking University) and Mark Fitzpatrick (International Institute for Strategic Studies) discuss South Korean, Chinese and American approaches, respectively. Of note to alliance scholars is Fitzpatrick\u2019s presentation on alliance coordination and US\u2013Republic of Korea cooperation on North Korea policy, starting from 1:00:17<\/a>\u00a0(YouTube).<\/p>\n

Reminder: the Future Strategic Writers Competition<\/a> is on again this year. Sponsored by Australian Defence Business Review and run by the journal Security Challenges<\/i>, the competition invites young scholars or professionals under 35 to submit articles or comments by Friday 1 August on security challenges facing Australia and the region. Winners are awarded AUD$2,500 so get writing! More details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
