After the end of the Cold War, it seemed as if Southeast Asia would
remain a geopolitically stable region within the American-led order
for the foreseeable future. In the last two decades, however, the
re-emergence of China as a major great power has called into
question the geopolitical future of the region and raised the
specter of renewed great power competition. As the eminent China
scholar David Shambaugh explains in Where Great Powers Meet, the
United States and China are engaged in a broad-gauged and global
competition for power. While this competition ranges across the
entire world, it is centered in Asia. In this book, Shambaugh
focuses on the critical sub-region of Southeast Asia. The United
States and China constantly vie for position and influence across
this enormously significant area-and the outcome of this contest
will do much to determine whether Asia leaves the American orbit
after seven decades and falls into a new Chinese sphere of
influence. Just as importantly, to the extent that there is a
global "power transition" occurring from the US to China, the fate
of Southeast Asia will be a good indicator. Presently, both powers
bring important assets to bear in their competition. The United
States continues to possess a depth and breadth of security ties,
soft power, and direct investment across the region that
empirically outweigh China's. For its part, China has more
diplomatic influence, much greater trade, and geographic proximity.
In assessing the likelihood of a regional power transition,
Shambaugh examines how ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations) and its member states maneuver and the degree to which
they align with one or the other power.
