My copy is here! Amitav Acharya & I argue that the US-led liberal order is giving way to a multiplex, multiregional world order! The active agency of the Southeast Asian states is shaping such an order in the Indo-Pacific! Thanks to TV Paul & Markus Kornprobst! press.georgetown.edu/Book/The-New...

In the book, Amitav and @manjeetsp.bsky.social compare the ancient Roman Med with the classical Indian Ocean region to make much deeper and similarly thought-provoking arguments about the limits of Western-centric IR theory in general, and hegemonic stability theory specifically.

Highly recommend.

Just finished the fourth chapter, in which Amitav and @manjeetsp.bsky.social to my mind convincingly puncture a number of the self-perpetuating conventional wisdoms about the contemporary strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific.

What if our understanding of IR theory ... was developed out of regions other than the Mediterranean and by extension, Europe ... ? Sadly, we do not know the answer to this question, because other regions of the world have not fared as well as a springboard for IR theory.

Not even finished with the introduction, and I already know I'm going to like this one.

β€œIt is all Indian art, but there are paintings created for rulers of Turkic descent in a peripatetic Indian court by Iranian artists working alongside Hindu artisans, under European stylistic influence, depicting Ethiopian warlords, Chinese vases or North American wildlife.”

β€œKumarajiva’s legacy is deeply entwined with the CCP’s broader objectives, from the Sinicization of Buddhism to legitimizing territorial claims and bolstering China’s historical and civilizational narrative.”

Hi, am making the leap frm X to Bluesky w/my new book "Contesting Pluralism(s)..." w/Cambridge UP (Jan '25)

It offers a new "key" to Turkey's political history&present...

But also a timely framework and findings on how coalitions of pluralists everywhere can confront populist state capture...
