Aprašymas

AN AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNT OF KEY GEOPOLITICAL CHANGES AFFECTING SOUTHEAST ASIA Southeast Asia was created by geopolitics, and it might die with it. An era of great power rivalry made the rise of Southeast Asia possible. It stimulated common purpose and unity among nations and led to the creation and consolidation of ASEAN. The question now is, will the return of geopolitics have a similar impact? This is no means assured. In fact, the opposite could happen. The new geopolitics is, after all, quite different from the old. Developments affecting Southeast Asia's reputation and appeal might destroy ' Southeast Asia' not just as a distinct idea, but also as pawns in the hands of great powers. The fate of the region looks increasingly uncertain; the question arises: has Southeast Asia passed its ' use by date' ?
