ºÚÁÏÌìÌÃSoutheast Asia Regional Institutes Plenary 

Rules-based order? Southeast Asia in the age of the deal 

Southeast Asia has long been a region caught in the crosshairs of overlapping order transitions, be it the rise and fall of imperialism, colonialism, socialism, capitalism, authoritarianism, democratisation, multilateralism or hegemony. Today, the world faces a rapidly changing international order in the face of great power revisionism, assertion and aggression, the rise of radicalism, economic de-coupling, and the second Trump presidency. 

How is Southeast Asia faring and managing the ongoing contestations and renegotiation of key global, regional, and national compacts? Scholars at ºÚÁÏÌìÌà have long-standing research interests in the multiple dimensions of what helps to sustain peace, stability, and prosperity in this strategic region. Officials from Australia and Southeast Asia also often reiterate the importance of sustaining a rules-based order at the regional level, and of encouraging domestic arrangements conducive to such an order.

This plenary features speakers from the five ºÚÁÏÌìÌÃRegional Institutes that focus on Southeast Asia. The speakers consider the current state of rules-based orders and ordering practices at the regional, trans-national, and sub-national levels, drawing attention to the key challenges and developments that impact upon the strategic balance, the future of economic liberalism, the resilience of democratic institutions, the rule of law and human rights.
