SUMMARY:Not a Pawn: Southeast Asia in a World of Rising Great Power Tension
 s
DESCRIPTION:As the war in Ukraine rages on\, and a second U.S. administrati
 on pursues “strategic competition” with China\, U.S. foreign policy ap
 pears to have found its new guiding mission: global confrontation between
  “democracies and autocracies.” Central to Washington’s plans for th
 is competition are its efforts to build a coalition of friendly states to 
 balance and even contain Russia and China.  Southeast Asia is a dynamic re
 gion that boasts of high-growth economies\, interstate peace\, and a remar
 kably successful regional organization — ASEAN. But the region now find
 s itself unwittingly on the frontline of a grand strategic competition. Wh
 ile China’s rise in particular poses an acute concern to the region\, ma
 ny Southeast Asian nations also strongly oppose the growing U.S.-China se
 curity competition that will likely be highly destabilizing and damaging t
 o them. Southeast Asian states also want to partner with both the United S
 tates and China to address complex global challenges such as climate chang
 e and pandemics.  What lessons can Southeast Asia bring to Washington in t
 hese turbulent times? How can the United States better listen to the nuanc
 ed preferences of the region? What opportunities exist for America to work
  with ASEAN states to reduce tensions in Asia? To address these and other 
 questions\, the Quincy Institute will host a webinar featuring Kishore Mah
 bubani\, former Singaporean diplomat and distinguished fellow at the Asia 
 Research Institute\; Dino Patti Djalal\, former Indonesian ambassador to t
 he United States and senior advisor to The Asia Group\; and Elina Noor\, d
 irector for political security affairs at the Asia Society Policy Institut
 e. The conversation will be moderated by QI Director of Studies Sarang Shi
 dore.
