By Marianne Peron-Doise [Associate Research Fellow, IRIS]
▶️ Will the actions of Donald Trump's administration in the Indo-Pacific be a continuation of the dynamics created by previous US administrations?
▶️ Will the mechanisms for regional cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, in particular the Aukus and the Quad, withstand a new Donald Trump presidency?
▶️ A return to power by Donald Trump could weaken ongoing efforts to build a coherent and resilient security architecture in the Indo-Pacific unless he realises the importance of ‘smart power’ for 21st century geopolitics.
