Abstract

The Indo-Pacific has drawn increasing attention in political and popular discourses in light of the contemporary geopolitical moment. While scholars in mainstream International Relations actively engage with the concept, there have been less interventions from critical epistemologies associated with geography, anthropology, history, and cognate disciplines. This conversation brings together four scholars who have worked across China, India, Australia, Japan, Southeast Asia, and beyond to problematize the Indo-Pacific concept, explore alternative geographies of knowing, and discuss the implications for rescaling area studies at the present conjuncture.
