This report presents the results of a survey completed by 104 security analysts from 17 countries across the Asia-Pacific region as well as European specialists in this field. This is the second year that the East-West Center has conducted this survey, and it reflects an expansion in the number of particpants from the previous survey. We believe that the information compiled from the survey provides a generally accurate representation of the state thinking about the security outlook in the region among security specialists. We hope that the report and the series will help fill a gap in the current literature on the regional security outlook by bringing together and comparing responses from a variety of country perspectives of the same set of questions.
