America’s strategic and defense shift: What it is and what it means for Malaysia with Elbridge Colby

ISIS Malaysia is honoured to host Elbridge Colby, lead architect of the United States 2018 National Defence Strategy, the most significant revision of US defence strategy in a generation.

His recently published book, The Strategy of Denial: American Defense in an Age of Great Power Conflict, makes a case for what the US’ goals in confronting China must be and how it must prioritise such goals over its lesser interests.

Join us as Colby discusses the US Pacific strategy, China’s growing power and ambition, and how that might affect US-Malaysia and Malaysia-China relations.

The Strategy of Denial: American Defense in an Age of Great Power Conflict was published by Yale University Press in November 2021.
