Understanding the Definition of Asia

In this podcast episode, host Niko Losinan engages in a conversation with Evan Feigenbaum, vice president of studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, to discuss the state of Asia. They begin by exploring the concept of Asia itself, questioning whether it is a continent, a region, or even a relevant term. Evan emphasizes that while the geographic construct of Asia may not be entirely useful, thinking about Asia in a strategic sense is crucial. He highlights how the region is becoming increasingly integrated economically and strategically, with events in different subregions having wider implications for the entire region.
