As a political and strategic conception, the \u201cIndo-Pacific\u201d has become popular in some states\u2019 foreign policy since 2010, notably in Australia, Japan, and India. In Trump\u2019s 2017 National Security Strategy, the Indo-Pacific was mentioned 11 times. It seems that Trump is developing an \u201cIndo-Pacific strategy\u201d to replace Obama\u2019s \u201crebalance or pivot to Asia.\u201d In recent years, the term \u201crules-based order\u201d has also become widely used by political and military leaders in the Asia-Pacific region. These two new concepts appear to increasingly go hand in hand in various policy statements of many regional players. In the meantime, China\u2019s economic and strategic ambitions seem to also move toward the Indo-Pacific as seen from the excessive scope of China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) across the Pacific and Indian oceans.<\/p>\n<p>On the 10 December 2018, the Griffith Asia Institute and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsis.edu.sg\/\">S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies<\/a> (RSIS) with the support of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macfound.org\/\">MacArthur Foundation<\/a> held a workshop with leading scholars from the United States, China, Australia, Japan and Singapore to discuss and debate the Indo-Pacific and rules-based order develop theory-driven and policy-relevant research papers. .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Participants addressed if the Indo Pacific will become a new \u201cstrategic geography\u201d for regional actors to redefine their interests as well as foreign policy strategies. The strategic implications of the Indo-Pacific concept for regional order transformation, especially the so-called \u201crules-based order\u201d. There was debate around the Indo-Pacific becoming a battlefield if there is a power transition between the United States and China. Will the Indo-Pacific institutions influence ASEAN-oriented regionalism and multilateral institutions as well as the US-led hub-and-spokes security architecture in the Asia Pacific?<\/p>\n<p><em>Supported by<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5243 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/MacFoundlogo-300x110.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"137\" height=\"43\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5242 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/RSIS-300x83.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"165\" height=\"34\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5241 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/the-indo-pacific-and-rules-based-order-old-concepts-and-new-implications\/groupv2\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/groupv2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/the-indo-pacific-and-rules-based-order-old-concepts-and-new-implications\/p1010440\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/P1010440-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5249\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5249'>\n\t\t\t\tWorkshop convenors Associate Professor Mingjiang Li, S.
