Welcome to Hub-and-Spokes

Mission
Hub-and-Spokes is a weekly newsletter authored by Connor Fiddler, Associate Deputy Director of the Asia Program at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and Rising Expert with the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy.

My mission is to provide timely, accurate, and in-depth analysis of the evolving security cooperation between the United States and its key Asian allies. NOT another China newsletter, rather my focus is on the strategic partnerships that shape peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific, emphasizing the implications for global security and defense strategies.

Vision
Hub-and-Spokes aims to be the premier source of information and insight for policymakers, defense professionals, academics, and anyone interested in the dynamics of military alliances in Asia. By fostering a better understanding of these relationships, I strive to contribute to informed debates and decisions that affect regional and global peace.

What We Do
Each issue of Hub-and-Spokes brings you:

  • Latest Developments: Updates on joint military exercises, strategic meetings, defense agreements, and other security news.

  • In-depth Analysis: Commentary and analysis on the strategic significance of ongoing military collaborations.

Who We Serve
Our readership includes:

  • Government officials and policymakers who require the latest information to guide their decisions.

  • Defense industry leaders seeking insights into new markets and opportunities.

  • Academics and students specializing in international relations, defense studies, alliance politics, and Asian studies.

  • General public with an interest in military affairs and international security.
