How the incoming U.S. administration decides to lead, manage, and engage or disengage with allies and partners will be consequential to stability and order in the Indo-Pacific. However, ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Europe may require the United States to rethink its strategy in the Indo-Pacific. What economic and security challenges must U.S. allies and partners prioritize? How will the United States ensure prosperity and security alongside its allies and partners in the region? What are the next steps for existing and new regional partnerships and minilaterals?
On November 22, the Center for Asia Policy Studies at Brookings and the East Asia Institute hosted a group of experts to examine the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election and its implications for U.S. allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific.
