Southeast Asian history shows us that there are other pathways to international order and that, contrary to Western modes of thinking, a hegemonic power is not required for stability

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...

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

Manjeet S. Pardesi @manjeetsp.bsky.social · Apr 1

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

Judah Grunstein @judah-grunstein.bsky.social · Mar 31

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.

Manjeet S. Pardesi @manjeetsp.bsky.social · Mar 31

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

Judah Grunstein @judah-grunstein.bsky.social · Mar 26

From @manjeetsp.bsky.social and Amitav Acharya's co-authored Divergent Worlds.

Not even finished with the introduction, and I already know I'm going to like this one.
