Re-globalization, Geopolitics and Southeast Asia
A Discussion with Nick Bisley
Summary
During the Cold War, the collision of geopolitics, ideological competition and nationalism were especially traumatic in Southeast Asia. Yet the region was able to carve out space for itself and over several decades was able to effectively keep the region’s security free from geopolitical wrangling. This was due to the efficacy of ASEAN and its offshoots, the grand bargain struck between the US and China and globalization. Each of those circumstances that previously helped to stabilize Southeast Asia has changed dramatically. Great power competition has returned with remarkable speed. Globalization is being reconstructed due to the vulnerabilities revealed by the pandemic, the return of geopolitics and the revival of economic nationalism. ASEAN faces significant headwinds as it struggles to sustain the interests of its members and its regional influence. This seminar examines these dynamics and in particular the interplay of geopolitics and the reconstitution of globalization, to assess the extent to which Southeast Asia will be able to retain the stability it has come to enjoy.
In this episode, Prof. John Sidel engages in a dynamic discussion with Nick Bisley, Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences at La Trobe University, as they explore the ever-evolving geopolitical landscape of Southeast Asia.
