This book discusses the shifting regional geopolitical engagements
and development of rearranged connections emerging among ASEAN and
non-ASEAN actors. First, the book focuses on the crucial discourse
surrounding the Indo-Pacific region, including its challenges,
continuity, and relevance. The discussion highlights the growing
influence of regional actors such as India, Thailand, Japan, and
the US, particularly in the context of a pressing question of
collaboration versus containment amidst China’s rise. The book
delves into various topics, such as geopolitical anxieties,
economic strength, foreign policy, international relations,
development, and security promotion in South and Southeast Asia,
through the lenses of ASEAN centrality and the Indo-Pacific
strategy. Second, the volume emphasizes on the escalating tensions
and the worsening crises in the region that cause major anxieties
and the subsequent realignment and new alignment of countries’
relationships. Among several chapters of the volume, a large
Indo-China state, Myanmar, takes a special place in the book’s
discussions as it has grown as an important ground for a
resource/energy race among geopolitically strategic partners.
Additionally, Myanmar has the potential to become a balancer in
ASEAN. Therefore, any positive development and change in course of
relations to Myanmar, particularly with its neighbors, Japan, and
Russia, in both historical and contemporary contexts, can have a
significant impact not only on Myanmar’s course towards peace,
democracy, and security, but also regional stability. The editors
and contributors examine the unique position of ASEAN, with a focus
on ASEAN centrality as a platform for addressing anxieties and
building relationships to bridge the gap between world and regional
players, including both friends and foes. Overall, the volume
provides valuable insights into the Indo-Pacific region’s complex
dynamics, including cooperation and collaboration among regional
actors for long-term stability and prosperity. The
interdisciplinary composition of the book invites readers from
various backgrounds to engage with constructive debates on general
perception, contextual discussion, and the highlights of engaged
research from local and international perspectives.
