Symposium: Security Dynamics in the Indo-Pacific

Symposium: Security Dynamics in the Indo-Pacific

“More than anywhere else, the shape of tomorrow's international world order will be decided in the Indo-Pacific,” writes the German government in its guidelines on the Indo-Pacific. Japan clearly made known its foreign policy priority for this region several years ago in its strategy of a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” (FOIP). At the same time, strategic competition for influence in the region is increasingly evident, with significant geopolitical and economic consequences.
