The Indo-Pacific involves key actors like the United States, China, India, ASEAN, and the QUAD. China's strategic perspective, illustrated by its Five Theater system, focuses on territorial control, maritime claims enforcement, economic incentives through Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects, and maintaining power dynamics, particularly with Taiwan and India. The Korean Peninsula plays a pivotal role, with China supporting North Korea as a buffer state against the U.S.-aligned South Korea. South Korea's foreign policy walks on a delicate balance due to economic reliance on China, and the threat posed by North Korea. The United States, through various multilateral institutions, and military presence, aims to advance a free and open Indo-Pacific, foster regional connections, and enhance security.
India's evolving strategy involves active engagement with Southeast Asian nations, participation in QUAD, and maritime presence initiatives like the Security, and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR). ASEAN is a critical player, that navigates between Beijing, and Washington, with economic trends indicating a potential shift toward China. Japan, adopting a stronger posture, focuses on financial aid alternatives, increased military expenditure, and partnerships like the QUAD, trilateral dialogues with India, Australia, USA, and with the ASEAN countries. As the world enters a new era of strategic foreign policy, the Indo-Pacific geopolitical landscape requires careful navigation. The decade ahead will determine the countries' collaborative ability to address climate change and sustain principles of openness and inclusivity. The study emphasizes the interconnectedness of economic, military, and geopolitical factors, underlining the need for collaboration among major actors to ensure stability.
