Perry World House Workshop: February 22, 2023 Economic Security and the Future of the Global Order in the Indo-Pacific
The Indo-Pacific region is caught in the middle of the increased rivalry between the United States and People’s Republic of China. These tensions and the economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have amplified the geopolitical challenges facing the region.
Considering the reliance that many countries in the Indo-Pacific have on China as a trading partner and on the United States as a security partner, greater economic competition between the two countries runs the risk of disrupting existing relations and straining the multilateral institutions that aim to balance them. And with a highly populated region comes the possibility for new leadership to emerge.
To address these challenges, Perry World House convened a workshop in February 2023 on “Economic Security and the Future of the Global Order in the Indo-Pacific,” bringing together experts from the policy world and academia to discuss these challenges.
The workshop report—and accompanying thought pieces from participants—discusses ideas on the economic future of the Indo-Pacific.
