Great power competition, maritime expansionism, and disruptions to global supply chains are heightening geopolitical tensions in the Indo-Pacific. Many observers question whether the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is capable of responding to a crisis or conflict in the region.

Join us to hear from a panel of international experts on the challenges facing the Indo-Pacific, including traditional and non-traditional security threats, existing crisis coordination mechanisms, and gaps in regional response capabilities.

The panel features Dr Bec Strating, Don McLain Gill, and Murni Abdul Hamid and will be moderated by Dr Hunter Marston, Director of the Lowy Institute's Southeast Asia Program. The session will be followed by an audience Q&A.
