This chapter introduces #deepcontestation and explains the distinction between normal contestation, which permits gradual adaptation, and deep contestation, which rejects foundational norms and threatens systemic stability.

What Southeast Asian history tells us about a multipolar order | Aeon Essays As Pax Americana ends, a multipolar order is emerging. The history of Southeast Asia holds lessons for what’s to come

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

Really looking forward to my book talk in Canberra next month @anubellschool.bsky.social @yalepress.bsky.social

A huge thanks to Prof Evelyn Goh and to @tommychai.bsky.social!

Asian Security is in good hands with @lionelfatton.bsky.social looking after it! I also wanted to say a huge thank you to the Executive Editors, @devbo62.bsky.social, Leila Zakhirova, Amy Freedman, Andrew Oros, and Mike Chambers! I've enjoyed being the Managing Editor but on to new adventures now!

Happening soon! Tomorrow afternoon NZ time! Do join us for this GRADNAS Seminar to listen to Professor Amitav Acharya on his latest book!

A fantastic piece by Evelyn Goh! eastasiaforum.org/2025/06/01/n...

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...

Happening in a couple of hours …

This is going to be exciting! Do join us if you can!

How can Asia’s histories reshape our theories of world politics? Join the next GRADNAS Seminar on Thurs 8 May, 8.30am AEST ➡️ events.humanitix.com/emerging-per...

Thank you @yusufimaadkhan.com, I'm glad that you are enjoying our book! :)

Really enjoying this so far :)

Brilliant work from Amitav Acharya and @manjeetsp.bsky.social

HT @judah-grunstein.bsky.social for the recommendation

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

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

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.

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

Just finished the fourth chapter, in which Amitav and @manjeetsp.bsky.social to my mind convincingly puncture a number of the self-perpetuating conventional wisdoms about the contemporary strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific.

Here is a sneak peek of my book with Amitav Acharya! @yalepress.bsky.social Many thanks to @asianreviewofbooks.bsky.social and to Peter Gordon!
