Asia-Pacific countries are currently involved in negotiations over new regional trade arrangements. It is uncertain whether these regional economic agreements will be complementary and contribute to regional and global trade, or whether they will fragment global trade and inhibit regional economic integration.
With Australia hosting the G20 in 2014, it is both timely and important to address the relevant issues in regional and global trade. This public forum brings together distinguished experts to discuss the current regional agreements in place, as well as new issues and the global trading system.
Panelists include:
- Dr Shiro Armstrong, Research Fellow, East Asian Bureau of Economic Research, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific
- Associate Professor Philippa Dee, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific
- Dr He Fan, Assistant Director, Institute of World Politics and Economics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences
- Geza Feketekuty, Founder, Institute for Trade and Commercial Diplomacy
- Dr Patrick Low, Joint Vice-President Research, Fung Global Institute
- Dr Jayant Menon, Lead Economist, Asian Development Bank
- Professor Takashi Terada, Professor of International Relations, Doshisha University
- Dr Ganesh Wignaraja, Director, Research, Asian Development Bank Institute
The forum will be chaired by Professor Peter Drysdale, East Asian Bureau of Economic Research, Crawford School of Public Policy, and Dr Craig Emerson, former Minister for Trade and Competitiveness, Australia.
This public forum is presented by the East Asian Bureau of Economic Research at Crawford School of Public Policy. This public forum is supported by the Research School of Asia and the Pacific at The Australian National University, and the Australian National Institute of Public Policy and Asia and the Pacific Policy Studies at Crawford School of Public Policy.
