Centers of Excellence in East Asia: Encouraging Collaborative Approaches to Nuclear Security, A Policy Analysis Brief by Daniel Salisbury and Christopher Hobbs

Daniel Salisbury and Christopher Hobbs of the Centre for Science and Security Studies in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London examine the role and impact of nuclear security centers of excellence (COE) and nuclear security support centers (NSSC) supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in six East Asian countries: China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Vietnam.

They provide an overview of the diversity of the centers and the type of training they offer, assess their efforts at regional and international collaboration and the challenges of metrics in this regard, and develop recommendations for further sustainable development of COE and NSSC in the region.
