Southeast Asian Affairs is the only one of its kind: a
comprehensive annual review devoted to the international relations,
politics, and economies of the region and its nation-states. The
collected volumes of Southeast Asian Affairs have become a
compendium documenting the dynamic evolution of regional and
national developments in Southeast Asia from the end of the
'second' Vietnam War to the alarms and struggles of today. Over the
years, the editors have drawn on the talents and expertise not only
of ISEAS' own professional research staff and visiting fellows, but
have also reached out to tap leading scholars and analysts
elsewhere in Southeast and East Asia, Australia and New Zealand,
North America, and Europe. A full list of contributors over forty
years reads like a kind of who's who in Southeast Asian Studies.

A new phase in US foreign policy, in which China is viewed as a
major threat to American economic and security interests, has begun
under the Trump administration. The strong anti-China sentiment is
accompanied by efforts to "decouple" from China. If carried too
far, they will alienate allies and friends whose cooperation the US
will need in order to compete with China. In the broader American
foreign policy community, there is an intense ongoing debate on how
strong the push-back against China should be. Both moderates and
hawks agree on the need for a "tougher" approach but differ on the
degree and method of toughness. No coherent strategy has been
possible partly because President Trump's thinking does not always
accord with that of his own administration and partly because it is
still too early in the day to come out with well-thought-out
policies to support such a major change in foreign policy
direction. The ongoing adjustments to global policy and strategy
will therefore continue as the security focus shifts to the
Indo-Pacific region. The "Free and Open Indo-Pacific" concept
provides some signs of the broad direction policy may take but its
vital economic dimension is still missing. There is greater
recognition in Washington of the importance of Southeast Asia.
Located in the middle of Indo-Pacific, it will be a contested zone
between China and the US and its allies. The US will step up its
public diplomacy to better promote its own narrative in Southeast
Asia. Under the Trump administration, the importance of the South
China Sea to the US has risen. The US will remain a powerful factor
in Asia despite Trump and problems at home. China is not on an
inevitable path of dominance given its own significant domestic
challenges.

Asia is rising and will wield greater economic and strategic weight
in world affairs. However Asia also faces numerous challenges like
poverty, domestic instability, deficiencies in governance and the
rule of law, inter-state disputes and rivalries, and military
build-ups, to name just a few. The celebration of Asia's rise would
be premature if it is not accompanied by lasting peace and
cooperation between states and justice and prosperity at home. The
achievement of this happy state of affairs will require
continuation of wise and pragmatic leadership, especially among the
major powers. This collection of essays reflects on some of the
major political and security issues in the region in recent times,
including the balance of power among the major powers, American
engagement and policies in Asia, India's rise, the global war on
terrorism, the Iraq war, domestic developments in some countries as
well as ASEAN's efforts to build regional peace and security.
