AUKUS is not surprising, it’s logical | Eyes on Southeast Asia Podcast | Ep 08

In this episode, Dr. Rizal Sukma, shared his point of view on the new U.S.-led trilateral pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States in the Indo-Pacific region, known as the AUKUS. Together with Dr. Rizal, we explored the implications of the alliance to the region, especially Indonesia—how Indonesia can respond to the regional dynamic caused by the AUKUS—and the growing geopolitical rivalry as well as the arms race and its impact on Southeast Asia.
