IN FOCUS: INDO-PACIFIC

More and more countries are buying in to the Indo-Pacific construct. They must overcome the problems of coordination and burden-sharing if the concept is to have strategic teeth, Rajeswari Pillai Rajagopalan writes.

It’s too soon to say whether the Indo-Pacific will remain a lasting picture of 21st-century geopolitics, Keshav Kelkar writes.

From Eurasia to the Indo-Pacific, Indian policymakers have their work cut out for them in balancing between bilateral and multilateral strategies, Monish Tourangbam writes.

That the Indo-Pacific has so many different interpretations is a strength of the concept, not a flaw, Anthony Bergin writes.

Russia is grappling with its place in a rapidly evolving region, Olga Krasnyak writes.

Russia’s economy may be putting the brakes on Moscow’s Asia-Pacific ambitions, but the Kremlin is still keen to seek out opportunities to grow its power and influence, Jacky Westermann writes.

An Indo-Pacific strategy for Australia is essential, but difficult. The country must think big, but start small, Andrew Phillips writes.

If the Indo-Pacific is to guide Australian strategy, policymakers must be clearer on what it means for Australian interests, partners, and regional organisations, Denise Fisher writes.

The Indo-Pacific idea will be a useful guide to the future if its proponents avoid the trappings of civilizational geopolitical delusions, writes Christian Wirth.

In our new podcast series looking at Australia and the region's security challenges, we hear from Rory Medcalf, one of the earliest intellectual proponents for the ‘Indo-Pacific’ concept now sweeping foreign policy circles around the world.
