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 whatβs 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

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.
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.
