Timed to coincidence with the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, two essays from the 2023 ANU Regional Geopolitical Update were published in the Straits Times. The first essay by Prof Evelyn Goh is titled "S-E Asia at a crossroads why it must resist being pushed into zero-sum boxes", noting that regional leaders need to find new ways to play positive-sum games in a rapidly changing geopolitical environment. The second essay by Dr Rizal Sukma is titled "Here’s how Asean can build guardrails for regional stability", arguing that the grouping needs to focus on five areas to be a more effective ‘manager’ of the regional order.
