[WEBCAST] The Impact of Coronavirus on Southeast Asia's Economy, Political Systems, and Regional Relationships
VIEW EVENT DETAILS
Southeast Asia has all the ingredients for large scale transmission of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 – mostly weak public health systems, crowded cities, still deep pockets of poverty, and significant migrant worker flows.
As the virus spreads and regional economies falter, can a humanitarian catastrophe be avoided? In this edition of the 'Coronavirus, Asia, and the World' webcast, Asia Society Policy Institute Senior Fellow and Asia Society Australia Executive Director, Policy, Richard Maude will discuss the course of the pandemic in Southeast Asia.
Which countries are managing the pandemic best and why? What has been the impact on Southeast Asian economies and societies? How will the pandemic affect geopolitics in Southeast Asia? What role is there for Southeast Asian regionalism in the fight against the pandemic?
Join the Asia Society Policy Institute for this global online conversation.
