Whilst Brexit has dominated the agenda, on defence matters, a quiet but rather unprecedented debate has emerged in government and Parliament about the role the UK should play in East Asian security. This debate has gained momentum between March and this past month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">In this GraSPP seminar, Dr. Patalano will discuss the following questions drawn from recent such discussions. How important is the Asia Pacific region to the UK? What are the UK\u2019s strategic interests in this region? What is the most suitable posture to meet their requirements?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The answers to these questions draw upon two papers Dr. Patalano has published focusing both on the defence debates from the 1960s defence posture review &#8211; the last time East Asian Security was debated among London officials &#8211; and on the experience of recent defence engagement in the region:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-US\"> <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">&#8220;Days of Future Past?
