The Indo-Pacific Construct is a definitive guide to the shifting strategic trajectories that define today’s most dynamic region. With scholarly precision, it explores the growing primacy of the Indo-Pacific in global geopolitics, where great powers navigate a complex web of cooperation and competition. The book illuminates how global interdependence is reshaping strategies and alignments among state actors and regional powers. With in‑depth scholarship, it makes a significant contribution towards bridging the gap between research and practice on the future of the Indo-Pacific. What sets this work apart is its layered and conceptually sophisticated analysis of the Indo-Pacific construct and the region’s evolution in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s second presidency. A timely and authoritative work, it offers readers a clear lens into the evolving architecture of world politics in the twenty‑first century.
