Emerging U.S. Security Partnerships in Southeast Asia
The Centre for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) recently hosted a panel discussion in Washington DC, on Tuesday, 1 December 2015, on the Emerging U.S. Security Partnerships in Southeast Asia Project. Dr Evelyn Goh, Shedden Professor of Strategic Policy Studies, based at the Strategic & Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University, participated as part of the project team.
The event delivered perspectives from the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on three newly-released studies assessing how three Southeast Asian countries - Indonesia, Myanmar, and Vietnam - are developing closer security-related ties with the United States and balancing them against relations with China.
Based on field research by some of the world's leading experts on these three countries, the studies offer an up-to-date assessment of U.S. and Chinese engagement in the dynamic Southeast Asia region.
