Trilateral Tools for Managing Complex Contingencies:
U.S.-Japan-Korea Cooperation in Disaster Relief & Stabilization/Reconstruction Missions

An IFPA seminar

Dozens of government officials, foreign policy experts, and nongovernmental representatives from the United States, Japan, and South Korea gathered for an IFPA seminar in Washington, D.C., on November 2, 2005, to discuss the importance of international cooperation for managing complex contingencies. Participants examined lessons learned from recent complex contingency operations, the tools to improve crisis and contingency management, and the potential role of U.S.-Japan-South Korea trilateral cooperation in these matters.
