New article on Non-State Actors and Irregular Warfare by Sam Mullins

In "The Role of Non-State Actors as Proxies in Irregular Warfare and Malign State Influence," Dr. Sam Mullins examines how states like China and Russia leverage non-state actors (NSAs) to conduct irregular warfare, employing tactics that blur the lines between peace and conflict. These NSAs engage in activities ranging from persistent low-level operations aimed at undermining adversaries' institutions to more aggressive actions that challenge the sovereignty of other nations.

The Transnational Security Cooperation course is an in-depth executive education program designed to prepare senior security practitioners and military leaders to engage in cooperative security efforts that advance a free and open Indo-Pacific. Recently 38 senior leaders from 25 countries and three regional organizations participated in the TSC24-2 course hosted by the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies from December 8-13, 2024, in Honolulu. “Aided by a challenging curriculum, TSC 24-2 participants seized the opportunity to frankly discuss some of the most pressing strategic issues in the Indo-Pacific,” said course manager Dr. Al Oehlers. “Vitally, by exchanging invaluable insights and creatively crafting collaborative approaches to shared priorities, bonds of understanding and friendship were fostered that will last for years to come.”

Lauren Dickey and DKI APCSS’ Col. Matthew Kent Call for a Reassessment of U.S. Policy on Taiwan in War on the Rocks
“This is Not the Status Quo You’re Looking For” by Lauren Dickey and DKI APCSS’ Col. Matthew Kent was recently published by War on the Rocks. In the article, the authors argue that the United States’ longstanding policy of maintaining the “status quo” on Taiwan is increasingly misaligned with contemporary geostrategic realities. Rooted in Cold War-era agreements, the policy aims to deter hostilities by avoiding an official stance on Taiwan’s sovereignty. However, this approach has not accounted for China’s use of gray zone tactics—subtle, coercive measures that fall short of provoking military conflict but aim to achieve political objectives. According to the authors, the “status quo,” once effective in a very different geopolitical landscape, now risks enabling China’s aggressive posturing and undermining Taiwan’s security.
