Abstract

The research aims to discuss and analyze the major motives and the strategic approaches of China’s BRI and US Indo-Pacific strategy in their geo-politics of contestation to shape the global world order and regional dynamics. The BRI’s central focus is on investment projects, economic cooperation, integration and connectivity among major continents across Asia, Africa and Europe whereas the counter strategy of US is Indo-Pacific strategy that focuses on free and open Indo-Pacific region in the form of formation of multiple anti-China alliances of Quad, AUKUS and ANZUS countering China’s growing assertive dominance. A comparative analysis of both geo-political policies particularly in Southeast Asia will provide insight into power dynamics, formation of alliances and being responsive towards global challenges.
