Really enjoying this so far :) Brilliant work from Amitav Acharya and @manjeetsp.bsky.social HT @judah-grunstein.bsky.social for the recommendation
Yusuf@yusufimaadkhan.com · last yr."The multiplex order in the eastern Indian Ocean was a highly robust and resilient order that lasted for centuries even in the absence of a grand design. It did not depend exclusively on any single polity, not even imperial China." asianreviewofbooks.com/excerpt-from...
In the book, Amitav and @manjeetsp.bsky.social compare the ancient Roman Med with the classical Indian Ocean region to make much deeper and similarly thought-provoking arguments about the limits of Western-centric IR theory in general, and hegemonic stability theory specifically. Highly recommend.
Just finished the fourth chapter, in which Amitav and @manjeetsp.bsky.social to my mind convincingly puncture a number of the self-perpetuating conventional wisdoms about the contemporary strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific. 1/x
