Monika Arnez: As an anthropologist, though, I see a challenge with the Indo-Pacific concept. While widely used, it often doesn’t resonate at the micro level with people on the ground. Inclusivity matters, but so does local relevance. #IndoPacific#Anthropology#INPAH"
Tanguy Struye de Swielande: "The Indo-Pacific concept is deeply rooted in over a century of geopolitical strategy. Today, it’s central to policy approaches across the region. Using 'Asia-Pacific' might better capture local contexts. #INPAH#IndoPacific#AsiaPacific"
Richard Turcsanyi: "The Indo-Pacific is a socially constructed region, shaped by political interests. While it may not make sense as an 'object of study,' it holds value as a political concept. To truly grasp its geopolitics, we must view it from a broader, perspective. #INPAH
