Tensions in the South China Sea and hydro geopolitics in the Mekong reflect how great power competition, notably between China and the US, plays out in Southeast Asia. This makes it increasingly complex for ASEAN to take a forward-leaning approach. For the EU, however, it also presents an opportunity to engage with a strategic part of the Indo-Pacific and showcase it can act as a geopolitical actor with relevant expertise, funding and instruments for climate adaptation efforts.
