Is Regionalism Passé? Infrastructure for Integrating South and Southeast Asia

Hosted by the Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre

TW2.9.05, Tower 2,

Speaker

Dr Ganeshan Wignaraja

Chair

Dr Jürgen Haacke

Amidst growing skepticism about globalization and the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, Asian regionalism is flourishing. This seminar will examine the costs and benefits of closer infrastructure connectivity between South and Southeast Asia, the political economy of infrastructure investment financing, and the role of national policies and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.

Ganeshan Wignaraja is an Advisor at the Asian Development Bank. Previously he was Director of Research of the ADB Institute in Tokyo and has published 18 books on trade, regionalism and development. 

Jürgen Haacke is Director of the Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre and Associate Professor of International Relations at LSE.

The Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre (@LSESEAC) is an inter-disciplinary, regionally-focused academic centre within the Institute of Global Affairs at LSE. Building on the School's deep historical connections with Southeast Asia, the Centre seeks to promote the best academic and policy research on the region, deepen research ties with Southeast Asia, and improve the student experience at LSE.
