Daily Report Archives

Established in December 1993, the Nautilus Institute’s *N*ortheast *A*sia *P*eace and *S*ecurity *N*etwork (NAPSNet) Daily Report served thousands of readers  in more than forty countries, including policy makers, diplomats, aid organizations, scholars, donors, activists, students, and journalists.

The NAPSNet Daily Report aimed to serve a community of practitioners engaged in solving the complex security and sustainability issues in the region, especially those posed by the DPRK’s nuclear weapons program and the threat of nuclear war in the region.  It was distributed by email rom 1993-1997, and went on-line in December 1997, which is when the archive on this site begins. The format at that time can be seen here.

However, for multiple reasons—the rise of instantaneous news services, the evolution of the North Korea and nuclear issues, the increasing demand for specialized and synthetic analysis of these and related issues, and the decline in donor support for NAPSNet—the Institute stopped producing the Daily Report news summary service as of December 17, 2010.

Policy Forum 06-47A: Security in North East Asia

Stephen Noerper, head of the Institute of International Education’s Scholar Relief Fund, writes, “State sovereignty remains the paramount consideration in North East Asia relations. The debate centres on the necessary preconditions, size and mandates for institutions. Gaps could be filled by new institutions, but there is limited scope for honest brokers. There are opportunities for progress in non-traditional security issues, including on disease, natural disaster and crime.”
