Dear FP readers,
I’m Joseph Rachman, a freelance reporter based in Jakarta, and I’m writing to introduce FP’s latest newsletter, Southeast Asia Brief, in which I’ll bring you the latest in news and analysis from this pivotal region.
Southeast Asia is a key part of the global economy, the front line in the U.S.-China geopolitical contest, and one of the world’s most culturally diverse regions. Understanding it can be a challenge but is necessary for anyone interested in where the world is going. Every week I’ll keep you informed on the latest news across Southeast Asia’s 11 countries as well as highlight the most insightful regional perspectives.
