East Asia Forum Quarterly 15.3, 'ASEAN and Japan'

Dear SSJ-Forum members,

I am emailing to let you know about the launch of the latest issue of East Asia Forum Quarterly, 'ASEAN and Japan'. 

 

As ASEAN and Japan celebrate the 50th anniversary of their official relationship, the challenge to redefine the goals and purpose of this relationship is now pressing. With ASEAN member states and Japan each facing their own domestic challenges, the opportunity presents itself for a more 'equal' partnership that is able to 'co-create' a regional economy and society, from paternalistic origins. 

 
This issue of East Asia Forum Quarterly addresses these challenges for the ASEAN-Japan relationship and offers ideas, vision and initiatives that might guide its future: exploring the policy options for a relationship challenged by regional economic fragmentation; detailing the lessons available for policymakers beginning to act on sustainability and digital and green transformation; and examining the opportunities taken and thus far unrealised for the fashioning of new soft diplomacy and investment in intra-ASEAN infrastructure.
 
The full issue is available to read on ANU Press.
