Revisiting the Look East Policy

Nur Shahadah Jamil

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2024, vol. 16, issue 03, 53-68

Abstract: This article revisits Malaysia’s 1982 Look East Policy (LEP) and examines its evolution amid contemporary Malaysia-Japan relations and geopolitical changes including intensifying US-China rivalry and China’s growing influence in the region. These developments present a new set of challenges and opportunities for Malaysia-Japan relations, necessitating a reevaluation of the LEP in today’s geopolitical climate. The article argues that despite China’s rising presence in the region, Japan remains significant to shaping Malaysia’s strategic outlook and regional stability.
