My copy is here! Amitav Acharya & I argue that the US-led liberal order is giving way to a multiplex, multiregional world order! The active agency of the Southeast Asian states is shaping such an order in the Indo-Pacific! Thanks to TV Paul & Markus Kornprobst! press.georgetown.edu/Book/The-New...

Really enjoying this so far :)

Brilliant work from Amitav Acharya and @manjeetsp.bsky.social

HT @judah-grunstein.bsky.social for the recommendation

Thank you Shin, I hope that you enjoy the book!

Thank you so much! I am glad that you found it worthwhile!

Reposted by Manjeet S. Pardesi

In the book, Amitav and @manjeetsp.bsky.social compare the ancient Roman Med with the classical Indian Ocean region to make much deeper and similarly thought-provoking arguments about the limits of Western-centric IR theory in general, and hegemonic stability theory specifically.

Highly recommend.

Thank you @judah-grunstein.bsky.social, we appreciate it! I am glad that you found our argument persuasive!
