I’m very pleased to share my latest article in the @EuroJournIR lnkd.in/gb2b225Y I use Southeast Asia's long historical position between East Asia and Indian Ocean worlds to revisit foundational questions about the making of the modern international order.

In this article, I shift the analytical gaze to these fringes and argue that it is from the edges of the world—rather than from the United States, China, or past empires/civilisations that world politics is most visible in its complexity creativity.

Even when non-Western regions like Asia are examined, analyses gravitate toward the Mongols, China, or India, while sidelining the fringes: places and peoples that do not fit neatly into any core, yet constitute an important part of world history.

Against the growing fear of slowing AI CAPEX demand, Ms Elina Noor (Carnegie) asks how AI use case in Southeast Asia may not necessary be aimed at Generative AI, but alternative capacity building goals that is nevertheless risky from a governance and big-tech dominance lens.

Our final panel today examines some of the most significant expressions of risks in Southeast Asia’s most vulnerable economies and important economic infrastructures, and the prospects for de-riskification. Prof. Kanishka Jayasuriya (Chair) A/Prof. Keith Barney Ms Elina Noor

Interesting data from Dr. Eve Warburton: Indonesia controlled 62% of global refined nickel output in 2024! Australia calling Indonesian nickel dirty and marketing a ‘greener’ nickel, but clearly didn’t work, global demand collapsing!

Panel 2 examines how geo-economic shifts—great-power pressures, economic fragmentation, new tech—are reshaping the production, processing, supply, and the ‘greening’ imperatives of SEA resource-rich economies. Dr. Emirza Syailendra (Chair) Dr. Eva Warburton Dr. Trissia Wijaya

Dr. Trissia Wijaya · China involution (price war, too competitive). SEA scrambling to become ‘connector states’ to drive industrialisation. · Vietnam/Thailand respectively imported USD 3bn and 2bn battery and EV from China in 2023, more than all other SEA economies combined!

Prof. Goh had an interesting remark: SEA states trying to remain an attractive offshore platform for China post-US export controls and for US as new partners in parallel midstream supply chains. How is this possible? But they're clearly trying. Crossroads in new forms!

Prof. Nesadurai talked about Malaysian policymakers seeing integration into Western supply chains essential to prosperity. Which got me thinking: who actually stands to benefit domestically? Some new elite-industry coalition perhaps.
