RIETI-ANU Symposium

Australia, Japan, ASEAN and Economic Security in Asia

Announcement

The rise of global economic and geopolitical uncertainty complicates the management of economic interdependence and political relations in East Asia. The existing frameworks for deepening economic ties, building trust and confidence, cooperation, and insulating economics from geopolitics are under strain.
What strategies can Australia and Japan deploy to strengthen ASEAN centrality, keep markets open and manage economic interdependence and political ties? How does ASEAN view and approach their own economic and security engagement with large and powerful neighbours?
The RIETI–ANU symposium will bring leading thinkers and policy practitioners together to think through the strategic economic questions at the heart of political and security dealings and the frameworks necessary to their management.
