| 520 | _aIt argues that Malaysia's 'light-hedging' approach is primarily a smaller-state's response to growing systemic pressure arising from power asymmetry, rivalry, and uncertainties. Focusing on Malaysia's South China Sea (SCS) policy, the essay analyzes how the growing US-China animosity has led the small state to view the SCS imbroglio not just a territorial issue but more a matter of big-power rivalry with geopolitical roots. Like other smaller states in the Indo-Pacific region, Malaysia has long considered power asymmetry and power rivalry as structural conditions over which it has little control. | ||
