Winds of Change – Geopolitics at the crossroads of South and Southeast Asia

Drawing on firsthand experience, regional travel, exclusive interviews, and research, ‘Winds of Change' examines four key themes: the Geopolitics of Belt and Road, India-China Regional Diplomacy, Geopolitical Power Rivalries, and Sri Lanka's Domestic Political Challenge. Looking at how countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, and Vietnam are adjusting to shifting power dynamics, while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Maldives, and Nepal struggle to maintain balance amid India-China-US tensions, this book goes on to investigate Trump 2.0 could accelerate a global order increasingly tilted toward China.
