  ASEAN-ROK Partnership in the Indo-Pacific Era: Consolidation and Expansion | Choi Yoon Jung

In 2021, actors in the Indo-Pacific including ASEAN member countries and the Republic of Korea (ROK, hereafter referred to as Korea) have experienced changes and continuities with the inauguration of the Biden administration. At the same time, continuing Sino-US rivalry and intensifying waves of COVID-19 infection globally presented new challenges to the region’s economy and threatened to erode multilateralism and rule-based order. In the long term, however, the region’s seeing disintegration may also provide novel opportunities to forge new and innovative forms of cooperation and partnership in the Indo-Pacific.
