LAST ISSUE # 141. "Asia in transition: beyond the hegemonic rivalry between the United States and China"

Revista CIDOB d’Afers Internacionals, nº 141 pp.

Quadrimestral (Octobe-December 2025) ISSN:1133-6595 | E-ISSN:2013-035X DOI: https://doi.org/10.24241/rcai.2025.141.3

Asia is immersed in a process of transition and reassessment of regional imaginaries where geopolitical borders, and the inclusion or exclusion of actors and relations, are shifting. Yet a tendency persists in analysis to focus primarily on the hegemonic rivalry between China and the United States as the only structural factor, overlooking the capacity for agency of the rest of the actors in the region. Issue 141 of Revista CIDOB d’Afers Internacionals examines how different Asian actors adapt to the competition dynamics between China and the United States, paying particular attention to the rise of new strategies of diversification, flexibility and alignment, and their impact on multilateral cooperation and regional order. To this end, it focuses on case studies on ASEAN, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines, which reveal the complexity of responses, factors and initiatives influencing the national, regional and global transformation underway.
