Britain is back in Southeast Asia—but this time, the region gets to set the terms. In his latest analysis, Luo Chen Jun—a Singapore-based Partnerships Manager at Common Purpose Asia Pacific specializing in Southeast and South Asian regional affairs—explores a fascinating post-Brexit paradox. London's deepest emerging partnership isn't with former colonies like Malaysia or Singapore, but with Vietnam. This shift proves that old imperial connections no longer buy automatic influence in the Global South. However, as Britain tries to court ASEAN "cousins" while joining minilateral pacts like AUKUS, ASEAN holds real leverage—and it must price Britain's access accordingly through real green energy funding and technology transfer.

Is Lebanon’s endless darkness an engineering failure, or was the grid designed to fail? In his latest analysis, Eslam Elsheikh—an MPP student specializing in climate change at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia focusing on economic behavior and public policy—uncovers the political forces keeping Lebanon in the dark. Decades of sectarian power-sharing have turned the state electricity grid into a financial black hole, forcing citizens to pay double: once to a ghost state, and three times more to an unregulated "generator mafia".

While the Global North and China use advanced climate technology to dictate global climate diplomacy, why is Indonesia still left out of the driver's seat? In his latest analysis, Muhamad Ferdy Firmansyah—an Analyst at World Order Lab specializing in Environmental Policy and Economics—uncovers a critical vulnerability in Indonesia's foreign policy. Despite controlling world-leading nickel reserves and massive potential for carbon capture and credits, Indonesia remains overly reliant on external technology. Firmansyah warns that without bridging the gap between natural wealth and technological capability, developing nations risk falling under new forms of foreign control masked as climate partnerships.

When high-level ministers sign diplomatic action plans, the headline numbers often sound like a major triumph—but what about the binding treaties that sit unratified for years? In his latest analysis, "The partnership Jakarta and Hanoi signed, and the one they did not," Aniello Iannone—a lecturer in Indonesian and Southeast Asian Politics at Diponegoro University—dissects the true state of Indonesia-Vietnam relations. Beneath the surface of a booming $17+ billion trade relationship and VinFast’s massive EV manufacturing presence lies a crucial unratified 2022 EEZ maritime boundary treaty, stalled by complex geopolitical hedging around Beijing’s South China Sea claims. Iannone exposes how regional states have become masterfully fluent in signing non-binding declarations while quietly delaying the hard, strategic decisions that actually define a partnership.
