In this second of a series of lectures on Strategy: New Voices, Professor Evelyn Goh looks at the strategies of East Asia’s non-great powers for dealing with the rise of China.
Great power competition in the Asia Pacific region is intensifying as the relative economic importance of the region, and the degree of its interdependence, continues to increase. In this complex environment, a wider range of non-great powers can exercise agency in making choices that will help to shape the emergence of a new regional order to replace the brief interlude of US hegemony. Professor Evelyn Goh will expand on her analysis of the Asia Pacific region as leading the world in the complexity of its “actors, factors and vectors”, focusing on the strategies pursued by non-great powers to cope with the security challenges, and to exploit the political and economic opportunities, arising from China’s emergence as a great power.
