Tachibana from the *shudder* NHK Party will lose his seat. (Good.)

Looking forward to welcoming Professor Emmers to get his valuable perspective on how Southeast Asian states are reacting to (and negotiating) ongoing geopolitical shifts. It is sure to be of interest to regional specialists, those who work on the liberal international order, and small/middle powers.
