As the 7th Chair holder, Paul Evans led two seminars with IKMAS colleagues, plus one at the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN\u00a0and East Asia (ERIA), a partner institute in Jakarta. He also delivered the Pok Rafeah lecture\u00a0organized by IKMAS in March 2023. Prepared by seven scholars at IKMAS UKM, one of whom is a member of a four-member team, and one is at ERIA, the essays address some of the challenges of the Indo-Pacific\u00a0era as seen from several disciplinary angles.\u00a0 In combination, the essays reveal the complexity of the choices confronting Malaysian officials and citizens in an era of renewed great power rivalries and a fragmenting economic order. This volume aims to generate the required knowledge and insights to understand the China-US\u00a0conflict, live with both superpowers peaceably, manage complicated regional economic and security issues, and above all sustain a democratic transition at home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Insights-lauching-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8263\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Insights-lauching-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Insights-lauching-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Insights-lauching-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Insights-lauching-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Insights-lauching-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Insights-lauching-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IKMAS-INSIGHTS-VOL.-1-2024-1-PROGRAM-e1709700708592.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8264\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IKMAS-INSIGHTS-VOL.-1-2024-1-PROGRAM-1024x569.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABSTRACT The essays in this first volume of\u00a0IKMAS Insights, \u201cPositioning Malaysia\u00a0in an Indo-Pacific\u00a0Era\u201d come out of a project animated by the Pok Rafeah Chair, which<a class=\"ut-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/news\/ikmas-insights-vol-1-2024-book-launch-and-book-talk-session-on-navigating-indo-pacific-era\/\"> &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"news-category":[],"class_list":["post-8262","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-news","newscat-publication","newscat-seminar"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/8262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8262"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/8262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8265,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/8262\/revisions\/8265"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8262"},{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-category?post=8262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
