Between 2015 and 2017, in collaboration with regional scholars and policy makers, and involving other Bell School scholars, the project team created two research-based case files of Strategic Diplomacy.

 

The Northeast Asia Case File developed and tested the Strategic Diplomacy ‘diagnostic tool’ on some of the world’s most complex contemporary security issues, including the Korean peninsula conflicts and the China-Japan-Korea ‘history problems’.

 

The Southeast Asia Case File developed and tested the Strategic Diplomacy ‘policy tool’ – with input from some of the world’s most accomplished policy practitioners based in Singapore – across interdependent security, institutional, and economic issue areas.

 

The project’s resource database also includes a bank of special video recordings of interviews with leading international practitioners experienced in strategic diplomatic practices across a range of cases. The project team uses these resources for research, teaching and training.
