| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyses factors that cause China to have different approaches to different regional multilateral security institutions. Current research not only has little to say about China's motivation to participate, but also little regarding the level of its participation in or support for regional security institutions. To explain why China's post-cold war participation in regional multilateral security institutions varies, this article argues that threat levels help explain China's conditions for participating in multilateral security institutions, and security interests help explain China's behaviour as a member of such institutions. The author stresses that these are useful variables that can explain China's behaviour with respect to regional multilateral security institutions. In the foreseeable future, China's general posture toward regional multilateral security cooperation will be passive participation and strong support. Australia should not only consider strategies which emphasise strengthened bilateral relationships between Canberra and Beijing, but also continue to positively support regional multilateral security institutions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo's goal is simple: end all doubts about his country's status as a first-tier nation. From inventing the Abenomics program, intended to spark an economic rejuvenation, to creating new security institutions as well as articulating new defense policies and doctrines, the Abe administration has focused on creating the conditions which would allow Japan to more forcefully assert and defend its national interests. Over a year into his first term, signs are good: the economy has rebounded; defense spending is up; Tokyo has pursued a new, aggressive diplomacy re-establishing its bona fides in the region and beyond; and the Japanese seem to be more optimistic about their prospects.

| Summary/Abstract |
We live in extraordinary times - times in which the winds of uncertainty reach our doorstep from anywhere on the planet. Yet our security institutions are anachronistic. On the cusp of the Lisbon Summit, US Ambassador to NATO, Ivo Daalder, describes how, by working together, the Alliance can be refashioned to tackle the security challenges of the twenty-first century.
