ASEAN and the Connectivity Agenda
Connectivity means many things in ASEAN. In a digital dimension, how will the Fourth Industrial Revolution connect people, companies, ideas, and machines in ever more powerful combinations? In a physical dimension, how can we build infrastructure that not only addresses the investment deficit in ASEAN, but creates truly future-focused cities, factories and transport networks? And in a trade dimension, how should leaders of the ASEAN integration project avoid the disillusionment with globalisation and trade that is rising in other parts of the world?
