Developing a comprehensive strategy to compete with China requires a strong understanding of what’s happening in the Indo-Pacific region, both past and present. To explore the history of Asia and how it impacts the geopolitics of today, Rep. Gallagher is joined by Michael Auslin, the Payson J. Treat Distinguished Research Fellow in Contemporary Asia at the Hoover Institution, on this episode of the NEW Look podcast.

Michael is a renowned historian and the author of numerous books on the subject, including Asia's New Geopolitics: Essays on Reshaping the Indo-Pacific and the best-selling The End of the Asian Century:  War, Stagnation, and the Risks to the World's Most Dynamic Region. He has previously worked as an associate professor of history at Yale University, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo.
