they asked the villagers like what was their main concern and they said well yeah of course we want clean water but their main concern was actually was how was this negatively affecting like the cohesion of their village like how the people relate to each other and it was just kind of interesting because it highlighted how sometimes people from different backgrounds can have different you know culture cultural understanding of the same phenomena and do you notice like a similar dynamic to this in the indo-pacific region in your research
And we get on to your specialty of legal warfare or lawfare.
And how is lawfare kind of subverting international law in the Indo-Pacific region?
And what are the challenges associated with that?
Yeah, this even gets back to your one point about how some of the states or the groups in the Indo-Pacific, they're trying to work more regionally rather than internationally.
Is this kind of also another factor that's kind of undermining or could undermine international law, the legitimacy of it in the region?
That kind of reminds me of a story I heard talking about globalization and a little bit of the one size fits all model where I think it was in Indonesia or they sent like an expert.
I think it was the IMF, if I remember correctly.
It was one of those NGO organizations, but they actually sent like an economic expert to Indonesia to help with their economy.
So he was good at making all these economic models, but then he
He didn't know anything about the history or culture of Indonesia, so it was like, well, okay, well, how are you going to just help with the economy if you don't really bother to know about the history and culture of the region that you're going to be doing this in?
Exactly.
So, again, this kind of adds to the multidimensional aspect of the region and also just how power, legal, lawfare and all that operates that we've been talking about, not only in this discussion, but in almost all of our discussions.
Correct.
And so now we get more to the military and security challenges.
What are some of the major ones that you see?
Now, we have mentioned, of course, we mentioned sticks and stones.
Apparently, that's a major security threat now in the region.
Right.
But what are but what are some of the major ones?
