○Theme: “Understanding the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific : An Indonesian Perspective”

Abstract:

The AOIP, adopted in June 2019, is the collective response of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to the key challenge facing regional countries: how to navigate the strategic rivalry between China and the US in the Indo-Pacific region. Asean, as a fulcrum of Indo-Pacific, realizes that the competing visions of regional order between the two great powers could be devastating for the region. Therefore, it needs to also register a strong regional view on how the Indo-Pacific order should be managed. The question is, can the AOIP go beyond a norm-setting exercise?
