The book examines how new and emerging technologies are reshaping Southeast Asia's strategic and security environment. Focusing on developments such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomous systems, advanced surveillance technologies, and cybersecurity, it analyses how technological change is altering regional power dynamics, defence planning, and strategic vulnerabilities amid intensifying geopolitical competition.

Bringing together original essays by researchers from the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) and leading external experts, the volume offers a timely and in-depth assessment of the security implications of technological innovation for Southeast Asian states and their external partners. The chapters explore both opportunities and risks, addressing how governments and security institutions can adapt to a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Published as part of RSIS' 30th Anniversary commemorations, this edition of Strategic Currents reflects three decades of the School's thought leadership in regional security studies and provides essential insights for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners concerned with Southeast Asia's future.
