External Powers and Southeast Asia in an Era of Us-China Strategic Competition

This book provides a comprehensive assessment of Beijing and Washington's Southeast Asia policy, and moves beyond the superpower dyad to examine how multiple external actors -- including the EU, UK, Japan, India, and Australia -- are seeking to project power into the region.

Vital for scholars and students of international relations, security studies, and Asian politics, it offers a path to understanding one of the world's most strategically important regions in an era of great power and strategic competition.
