In the Shadow of Survival: Autocrats, Democrats, and Two-Level Games in Asia (09.02.26)
As elsewhere, countries in Asia have experienced increasingly polarized domestic politics alongside growing geopolitical tensions. How do Asian states—authoritarian and democratic, large and small—respond to these two power plays simultaneously? Do these dynamics intensify security flashpoints in the region, or can they help mitigate them?
