Three of its nations border China and five are directly impacted by its claims over the South China Sea. All dwell in the lengthening shadow of its influence: economic, political, military, and cultural. As China seeks to restore its former status as Asia's preeminent power, the countries of Southeast Asia face an increasingly stark choice: flourish within Beijing's orbit or languish outside of it. Meanwhile, as rival powers including the United States take concerted action to curb Chinese ambitions, the region has emerged as an arena of heated strategic competition. Drawing on more than a decade of on-the-ground experience, Sebastian Strangio explores the impacts of China's rise on Southeast Asia, the varied ways in which the countries of the region are responding, and what it might mean for the future balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. 4aSoutheast AsiaxForeign relationszChina. 4aChinaxForeign relationszSoutheast Asia.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oDS525.9.C6 S773 2020pPNLIB21061254r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c1440d1440
