The Indo-Pacific In Focus

More than almost any other region, the Indo-Pacific is defined by its multilateral institutions. But how did these groupings come to be, and how have they evolved over time? In Episode 5, we sat down with Andrew Yeo, Thibault Fournol and Prashanth Parameswaran to explore the region's institutional landscape and its interactions with the U.S. and Europe.

From the Bab el-Mandeb in the West to the Korean Peninsula in the East, the Indo-Pacific has no shortage of complex security challenges. For the U.S. and Europe, understanding these dynamics is more important than ever. In the fourth episode of the Indo-Pacific In Focus, we're joined by Max Bergmann, Tara Varma and Abdul Rahman Yaacob to discuss the Indo-Pacific's evolving approach to security.

Home to a growing number of spaceborne nations and increasingly advanced space infrastructure, the Indo-Pacific is on the forefront of modern space activity. To explain more, Marshall is joined by Clayton Swope, the Deputy Director of the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for strategic and International Studies; Namrata Goswami, a Professor of Space Security at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies; and Marco Aliberti, a Senior Research Fellow at the European Space Policy Institute.

When experts talk about the Indo-Pacific, one word tends to come up first: trade. Over the past several decades, the region has emerged as a critical hub of global trade networks. For the United States and Europe, trade with the Indo-Pacific has become increasingly indispensable, presenting both opportunities and challenges. To dig deeper, we're joined by Inu Manak, Eduardo Castellet-Nogues and Amit Kapoor.

For decades, political leaders have discussed the "Indo-Pacific" as an increasingly important region. But what is the Indo-Pacific? What defines this diverse region, and how is it perceived in the United States and Europe? To kick off the Indo-Pacific In Focus, we're joined by Shihoko Goto, Satu Limaye and Benedetta Girardi.
