What Southeast Asian history tells us about a multipolar order | Aeon Essays As Pax Americana ends, a multipolar order is emerging. The history of Southeast Asia holds lessons for what’s to come

Southeast Asian history shows us that there are other pathways to international order and that, contrary to Western modes of thinking, a hegemonic power is not required for stability

Delighted to see Emmanuel Destenay's review of 'Divergent Worlds' in International Affairs! Many thanks! @iajournal.bsky.social @yalepress.bsky.social

Happening soon! Tomorrow afternoon NZ time! Do join us for this GRADNAS Seminar to listen to Professor Amitav Acharya on his latest book!

A fantastic piece by Evelyn Goh! eastasiaforum.org/2025/06/01/n...

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...

Happening in a couple of hours …

This is going to be exciting! Do join us if you can!

Thank you @yusufimaadkhan.com, I'm glad that you are enjoying our book! :)

Really enjoying this so far :)

Brilliant work from Amitav Acharya and @manjeetsp.bsky.social

HT @judah-grunstein.bsky.social for the recommendation

Thank you Shin, I hope that you enjoy the book!

Thank you so much! I am glad that you found it worthwhile!

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.

Thank you @judah-grunstein.bsky.social, we appreciate it! I am glad that you found our argument persuasive!

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.

Here is a sneak peek of my book with Amitav Acharya! @yalepress.bsky.social Many thanks to @asianreviewofbooks.bsky.social and to Peter Gordon!

Si Trump lo rompe todo, ¿hay vida más allá de la Pax americana? Este libro dice que sí, y lo que llevo leído me parece una aportación inteligentísima.

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.

From @manjeetsp.bsky.social and Amitav Acharya's co-authored Divergent Worlds.

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

Thank you @judah-grunstein.bsky.social, we appreciate it!

Happening in a couple of days! Please join us on 25 March if you are in Wellington! @davidcapie.bsky.social @vicuniwgtn.bsky.social

“It 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.”

Early discussion (& roasting?) of @manjeetsp.bsky.social & Amitav Acharya’s new book Divergent Worlds. Impressive contribution to historical IR, contemporary debates about international order, & lively discussion with a stellar panel
