In today’s world, where globalization and integration are becoming increasingly significant factors in the development of society, special attention is paid to regions that play a key role in the formation of the new world order. The Asia-Pacific has become a new centre of politics and economics, playing a key role in the modern geopolitical system. And no one can deny that the centre of global development has shifted to this region. Southeast Asia is a critical region for global politics, where complex political processes are unfolding, including territorial disputes and changing balances of power between various countries. How does the changing balance of power in the Asia-Pacific affect the global geopolitical situation? What external forces influence political processes in the Asia-Pacfic? How might the process of decoupling that is taking place between the United States and China change global political and economic relations? What are NATO’s interests in the Asia-Pacific in the context of the U.S.–China rivalry? Could Southeast Asia become the new global financial centre?
