During the Cold War, China was regarded in many corners of Southeast Asia as a sponsor of subversion and communist insurgency. Until the "Four Modernizations," its anemic economy and limited ability to project power offered little incentive for Southeast Asian governments to cozy up to Beijing. Clearly, times have changed. Essentially all of the states in Southeast Asia have robust diplomatic and economic engagements with the PRC. Yet security concerns have not evaporated. Most Southeast Asian governments now embrace China, but "hedge" by setting up fall-back security options with the United States and other partners in case the PRC becomes more menacing. This seminar will explore some of the nuances in Southeast Asian "hedging" strategies.
