The Geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific

About this subject

The subject was formerly known as The Geopolitics of Asia. The international security order in the Indo-Pacific is experiencing a period of rapid transformation. This unit examines these changes and dynamics through the prism of geopolitical analysis. It explores the influence of geography on the current foreign policies and future of options of key countries in the Indo-Pacific. Aside from exposing students to the concept of geopolitics as an analytical instrument, this unit investigates a series of case studies, including the evolving US-Sino rivalry; the Sino-India great power game; the geopolitics of Southeast Asia. The unit will provide students with in-depth understanding about the key contemporary regional geostrategic dynamics and the implications for regional and international stability.
