The global order is in disarray. Great power competition is intensifying, multilateral institutions are weakening, and long-standing alliances are under strain. Conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, economic fragmentation, climate shocks, and the erosion of global norms have deepened a sense of instability. The war in Ukraine has redrawn geopolitical fault lines, while violence in Gaza and regional tensions in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf threaten global trade flows. At the same time, global governance mechanisms—from the United Nations to the World Trade Organization—are struggling to respond effectively. In this shifting landscape, Asia is being forced to rethink its place in the world—and its foreign policy strategies.
