Our final talk of the year, and we are ending on a high note with this fascinating discussion of how the military juntas of Thailand and Myanmar have adapted their economies to survive post-coup. Reach out if you want a Teams link to the event, or just contact [email protected] directly.

Looking forward to welcoming Professor Emmers to get his valuable perspective on how Southeast Asian states are reacting to (and negotiating) ongoing geopolitical shifts. It is sure to be of interest to regional specialists, those who work on the liberal international order, and small/middle powers.

Some fascinating insights from @chrischoongww.bsky.social, who is seemingly straight back to work after finishing his PhD!
