Mr. Glosserman will discuss the meaning andimplications of the “Indo-Pacific” concept for the United States, its allies,partners, and other countries. He will explore how it differs from otherconceptions of the region, such as the “Asia-Pacific,” and consider thepotential and likely applications of the concept in economics, security andforms of government.
