The Japan Times Highlights APLN Policy Brief on Southeast Asian Agency
The Japan Times cited an APLN policy brief by Prashanth Parameswaran in a commentary examining Southeast Asia’s agency amid changes in the regional and global order.
The article, written by Brad Glosserman, discusses Parameswaran’s analysis of how Southeast Asian states navigate relations with the United States and China through renegotiation, recalibration, reinforcement, and reconfiguration. It highlights his argument that these approaches could strengthen Southeast Asia’s role as a global multialignment test bed rather than simply a battleground for US-China competition.
The APLN policy brief, “Southeast Asia Multialignment Agency and Hedging Bets Beyond US-China Flux,” was published as part of APLN’s Asia Dialogue on China-US Relations.
