Shifting Tides in Southeast Asia
Hello, my name is Austin Huang, and I am a rising sophomore in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown. I am majoring in International Politics, with minors in Asian Studies and Chinese. As a part of the Laidlaw Programme, I am excited by the chance to engage with other students from across the world and learn from their unique, valuable perspectives. Getting the opportunity to hear from such diverse scholars is especially exciting, and I can't wait see the depth and breadth of work that my fellow scholars have been doing!
My own interests lie in Asia-Pacific policy, both within the region and how it interacts with the rest of the world. I am particularly interested in how the relationship between the US and China impacts the region, as well as how different models and systems of governance in the region influences political dynamics. I look forward to being a Laidlaw Scholar, and having access to a wide network of talented and diverse scholars to learn and grow from.

Such interesting work, Austin! The shift in Southeast Asian perceptions of China over time is such a hot topic right now, and your deep dive into it is truly enlightening. I'm particularly struck by the difference between how countries view China’s regional vs. national impact. It’s a timely reminder of the intricacies at play in Southeast Asia's evolving relationship with China.
