アジアにおける不拡散問題と地域協力

在2016财年，Wilfred Wan致力于完成该研究项目。他在日本进行了两次实地考察。在福岛，万与县官员和非政府组织领导人进行了交谈，讨论了从2011年3月的灾难中吸取的教训，并审查了迄今为止的恢复工作。在广岛和长崎，他出席了和平纪念仪式，并采访了当地大学和政府的代表。他对这些人如何看待核问题的主要挑战以及他们的解决方案有了更深入的了解。从这项工作，以及他的桌面研究和使用第一手和第二手资料，万开始完成他关于区域应对核挑战的书的手稿。这包括东亚、中东和南美洲的章节。他认为，经济全球化使地区总体上更加一体化，有利于安全合作。然而，由于历史上的敌意、竞争和有限的资源，解决区域性核挑战的进程将是困难的。各国（包括东亚国家）将必须在技术一级建立现有的核安全和安保合作，并在某些情况下获得区域外指导，以解决核武器构成的威胁。总的来说，由于他的研究，他能够为这个研究项目找到一个出版商，并在本财政年度末提交了一份出版草案。

In the fiscal year 2016, Wilfred Wan worked on finalizing the research project. He conducted field work on two research trips in Japan. In Fukushima, Wan spoke to prefectural officials and leaders of non-governmental organizations, discussing lessons learned from the March 2011 disaster, and examining the recovery effort to date. In Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he attended the peace memorial ceremonies and interviewed representatives from local universities and government. He gained a greater understanding of how these individuals perceive the major challenges in the nuclear issue, and their ideas for solutions. From this work, and also from his desk-based research and use of primary and secondary sources, Wan moved to complete his book manuscript about regional approaches to nuclear challenges. This included chapters of East Asia, the Middle East, and South America. He argues that the globalized economy has made regions in general more integrated, and conducive to security cooperation. However, the process of addressing nuclear challenges regionally will be difficult - because of historical animosity, competition, and limited resources. States (including those in East Asia) will have to build upon existing nuclear safety and security cooperation at the technical level, and in some cases secure extra-regional guidance, in order to address the threat posed by nuclear weapons. Overall, due to his research, he was able to secure a publisher for this research project, and submitted a draft for publication by the end of this fiscal year.
