"Free and Open Indo-Pacific" and Implications for ASEAN

The current era will either enhance or lessen the relevance of ASEAN in the years ahead depending on how the organisation acts. This study argues that ASEAN is more likely to be left behind by strategic events and developments if it remains passive, and that the ball is in ASEAN's court in terms of the future of its regional ""centrality"".

Epoca actuala va spori sau micsora relevanta ASEAN in anii urmatori, in functie de modul in care actioneaza organizatia. Acest studiu sustine ca ASEAN este mai probabil lasat in urma de evenimente si evolutii strategice daca ramane pasiv si ca mingea se afla in curtea ASEAN in ceea ce priveste viitorul „centralitatii” sale regionale.
