One of the most pressing foreign policy challenges Singapore and her Southeast Asian neighbours face in the coming years is how to position themselves between the US and China as the geopolitical rivalry between the two superpowers intensifies. Most in Southeast Asia would prefer not to have to choose between the two superpowers, but that position is likely to become increasingly difficult to maintain as the US and China pressure states in the region to align with them. Based on a LKYSPP-based project (2021-2024) supported by a Singapore Social Science Research Thematic Grant (SSRTG), the panel will share preliminary research findings relating to the following questions: What does it mean to choose (between the US and China)? How can we track the choices or shifts in alignments of the countries of Southeast Asia over time? What explains their alignment choices? And what are the implications for Southeast Asia, the superpowers, and the region?

3rd annual Next STEP Conference Closing Fireside Chat with Ravi Menon, Managing Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore, on Response to Geo-Economic Fragmentation.
The Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) at the National University of Singapore are convening the third annual Next STEP Global Conference on November 5-7, 2023, in Singapore.
This years conference will focus on how the intensification of US-China competition has put much of the world in a bind. Economies caught in the middle-those that do not count themselves among the G7 plus China-contain 80 percent of the worlds population and are participants in the vast majority of cross-national transactions. Their interests are at stake, but how should they proceed when the two biggest economic players are at odds? Can their coming together independently of the great powers save global commerce for themselves and the world, or even encourage a return to more responsible behavior by the Chinese and US governments?
