Great power competition, maritime expansionism, and disruptions to global supply chains are heightening geopolitical tensions in the Indo-Pacific. Many observers question whether the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is capable of responding to a crisis or conflict in the region. The Lowy Institute hosts three leading experts to discuss traditional and non-traditional security challenges in the Indo-Pacific, existing crisis coordination mechanisms and gaps in regional response capabilities.
The conversation features Dr Bec Strating, Don McLain Gill, and Murni Abdul Hamid and will be moderated by Dr Hunter Marston, Director of the Southeast Asia Program.
