The Center for Indo-Pacific Affairs has been awarded a $148,935 Japan-US Global Partnership Grant by the Japan Foundation to support a two-year project on Undersea Cables, Geoeconomics, and Security in the Indo-Pacific: Risks and Resilience. Submerged deep beneath the ocean, networks of undersea cables form the critical infrastructure that enables the communication and connectivity upon which societies are built. Over 95 percent of global Internet traffic relies on roughly 450 undersea cables for high-volume, high-speed transmission of information, and they transmit approximately $10 trillion in financial transactions data throughout the global economy on a daily basis. The Indo-Pacific has been the most active site of undersea cable construction for over a decade, and these undersea cables have become intertwined in emerging regional strategic technology competition, sparking fears about how they might be threatened by sabotage, manipulation, economic coercion, natural disasters, or physical attacks. To better understand the political, economic, and security dynamics surrounding this critical infrastructure, CIPA is bringing together experts from the US, the Indo-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East in partnership with Keio University and Khalifa University.
