The book closely examines the tensions in this part of the world, addressing the implications of China’s rise and a course of action to avoid conflict. Dr. Emmanuel Puig will offer a European perspective on these geopolitical, security, and connectivity challenges, and discuss how Europe sees the concept of the Indo-Pacific.
