The Indo-Pacific is becoming one of the most contested regions in the world. Rising great-power rivalry, pressure on shipping routes, and growing uncertainty around technological and economic security all shape developments far beyond Asia. For Europe and the Netherlands, the stability of this region matters more than ever. How are regional institutions like ASEAN responding to the fragmenting world order? Can they still function as anchors of stability? How do smaller states navigate the ambitions of larger powers? And what does this mean for countries that depend on an open and predictable international order?
Join us for this special event, that brings together a unique group of international scholars who collaborated on a new book ‘Understanding International Relations in the Indo-Pacific’. They will present their findings for the first time.
For policymakers, diplomats, researchers and students, the book launch offers a clear and timely look at forces reshaping the Indo-Pacific and the questions that will influence global politics in the years ahead.
