ASEAN and the Return of Geopolitics to the Indo-Pacific

Join us on September 22 for a discussion with Alice Ba, Kavi Chongkittavorn, and Amitav Acharya about the future of ASEAN amid rising geopolitical tensions between the US and China. Geopolitical rivalry and competing narratives increasingly interact with political and economic challenges linked to the COVID pandemic, climate change, and trade conflict. Amitav Acharya’s recent book ASEAN and Regional Order: Revisiting Security Community in Southeast Asia will form the basis for this interactive discussion about the future of ASEAN.

This event is co-sponsored with the ASEAN Studies Initiative at American University.
