East Asia stands at the center of today's geopolitical and economic transformation. The region comprises China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, and South Korea, each playing a distinct role in shaping regional and global affairs. As East Asia drives global economic growth, technological innovation, and strategic competition, developments across the region increasingly influence the future of Eurasia and the broader international order. From the evolving U.S.–China strategic rivalry and cross-Strait dynamics to Japan's expanding security and diplomatic role, South Korea's technological leadership, China's global economic influence, and Mongolia's strategic balancing between neighboring powers, East Asia remains a critical arena for understanding contemporary geopolitics.

CASPAC provides in-depth analysis of the political, economic, security, and technological developments shaping the region and their implications for Eurasia, the Indo-Pacific, and the wider international system. Our research explores regional power dynamics, foreign policy, economic integration, digital governance, supply chains, energy security, connectivity initiatives, emerging technologies, and defense cooperation, while highlighting their impact on the South Caucasus, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Caspian region.

Through evidence-based research, policy analysis, expert commentary, and strategic assessments, CASPAC aims to bridge scholarly research with practical policymaking, offering timely insights for governments, businesses, researchers, and the broader policy community. Our objective is to foster a deeper understanding of East Asia's evolving strategic landscape and promote informed dialogue on opportunities for cooperation between East Asia and the Caspian region in an increasingly interconnected world.
