A chapter in Sustainable Development in Asia, 2022, pp 1-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This overview introduces the general context within which the topics of the following chapters may be viewed. Sustainable development is broadly defined, embracing natural capital and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues, especially in the light of the COVID 19 pandemic. Sino-American rivalry, manifested also in competitive infrastructure projects, is seen as impacting on sustainable development in Asia and the initiatives of the two countries are compared. The role of economic integration in ASEAN, particularly relating to digital transformation, is assessed.
