5th CAPI Roundtable on Southeast Asia in Global Context

Connectivity and Borders in Southeast Asia


The ASEAN Economic Community has entered into force, and we hear much about  ASEAN’s connectivity agenda.  At the same time, we are witnessing rising religious and other forms of nationalism in the region, and border tensions persist. How do ASEAN countries navigate this landscape, and what does it mean for politics, security, migration and infrastructure development in the region? 

How does it tie into larger questions of nationalism and globalization? What, indeed,  does a border mean in Southeast Asia—both land and maritime borders. In this context, how to manage conflicts arising from the realities of geography and borders?
