Meeting Report
Multilateralism in Northeast Asia
The Northeast Asia Cooperation Dialogue (NEACD) convened its eleventh plenary session against the
backdrop of the U.S.-led war on terrorism. Participants had decided prior to the September 11
attacks to discuss enhanced regional cooperaiton and the role of multilateralism in Northeast
Asia, a theme that took on new pertenence with the start of the "war on terrorism."
Admiral Dennis Blair, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific COmmand (USCINCPAC), set the
tone of the conference with a presentation on the Asia-Pacific in the twenty-first century,
emphasizing the importance of developing regional cooperation among militaries and governments.
Participants then spent two days discussing possbile methods of regional cooperation with a sense
of great urgency. Japan's legislation to expand the role of its Self-Defense Forces to assist
the United States in its war atainst terrorism was an important topic, as were the lack of
progress in rapprochement on the Korean Peninsula, and track-one possibilities in Northeast Asia.

Track-One Diplomacy in Northeast Asia Study Project
Seoul, Korea, 29–30 March 2001
The Northeast Asia Cooperation Dialogue (NEACD) convened in Seoul in March for a study
project on the prospect of an official, track-one dialogue process in Northeast Asia.
The group, eight academics from Russia, South Korea, Japan, China, and the United States,
discussed the possibility of such a process and its potential formats, addressing a variety
of structures, appropriate levels of participation, and possible agendas.
Two key goals of the discussion were keeping the program simple and developing a format
that North Korea would feel comfortable joining. It was suggested that a new track-one
initiative could most efficiently begin around an already established meeting, such as the
ASEAN Regional Forum. Northeast Asian participants could join for an informal meeting, such
as a breakfast, and then plan further meetings from there. Any suggestion for a track-one
forum needs to come from the academics involved, rather than as a formal government proposal.
The establishment of an NEACD track-one process depends on the willingness of North Korea to
participate.
The prospect of a track-one process was also discussed at the October 2001 NEACD plenary
meeting (NEACD 10). Academic participants reported on the study project, and all participants
continued to discuss further how to pursue this goal. Because relations between the DPRK,
the United States, and South Korea had deteriorated in the months prior to the plenary,
NEACD participants recognized that a track-one process was not likely to be initiated
in the near future. |
