I will present a component of my PhD thesis on pattern of learning vs. adaptation within the Asia-Pacific security architecture at the conference this June.

It has been a while since I posted here. Very happy to receive a Postgraduate Conference Award for the ASAA 2026 Conference at Deakin University, funded by McKay Endowment!
Something of an exercise in ambivalence here. I would like to see the Iranian regime go down hard - and am not confident Trump knows what he is doing. @TheAtlantic

Two ironies of today: 1. a super isolationist suddenly becomes a neocon; 2. folks who don't give a damn about dictator stealing election suddenly become champions of people's sovereignty when US intervenes.
I do not think China hawkery vs dovery is that well correlated with having lived in China.
I do think it is correlated with career inside China. Journalists who have lived in China are generally far more hawkish than academics who did, for example. It is not an accident that both Pottinger and Garnaut worked as China correspondents before they went into government.
My take on Hegseth's and Trump's speeches to the generals. I wasn't impressed, and I am quite certain they were not either. @TheAtlantic https://t.co/OTHqJGf75p
1/ Something that's not being reported much re: ICE crackdown at Hyundai-LG Georgia battery factory: Korean companies investing billions cannot get proper visas, are then criminalised for bringing skilled workers to fill gaps American labour cannot.
Sentiment is one of betrayal.
A wise man once told me that trying to learn about political economy and economic history in an economics department is like trying to learn about atheism in the Catholic church.
To help understand these developments, I spoke to @HanhHNguyen1 of ANU’s Coral Bell School for Straight Talk Southeast Asia.
