Securing Peace in the Indo-Pacific in an Age of Geopolitical Shifts

Intensifying strategic competition between the United States and China is today rarely doubted as an increasingly permanent feature of the region’s geopolitical landscape. However, beyond simply describing this reality or expressing concern over it, what policy options are before countries of the region? Is there more that countries of ASEAN, for instance, can do other than appealing for restraint, expressing preference not to be forced to choose and reciting the often expressed ASEAN “centrality”? How could centrality be manifested? Further still, what of other geopolitical dynamics – beyond those between China and the US – that may in time become more prominent? Does geopolitics matter?

In the lecture, Dr R.M. Marty M. Natalegawa gives his insights on how countries can secure peace in the in Inod-Pacific in an age of geopolitical shifts.

ASEAN 's position of non-alignment should progress to a nuclear-free zone devoid of nuclear armaments and energy. This means that there is no passage for nuclear powered vessels and armaments within ASEAN countries. Scarce resources of ASEAN countries should be used for peaceful development and not the purchase of weaponry.
