Chapter Chapter 14 in Southeast Asia and the ASEAN Economic Community, 2019, pp 455-480 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Two sections follow a very brief description of the region as well as of the genesis of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Economic Community (AEC). The first section summarizes the economies of the member nations of the AEC. The second section discusses the integration of markets of the ASEAN Economic Community, leading to the insight that the development of hard infrastructure—bridges, roads, rails and ports as well as digital infrastructure—is as important as the improvement of soft infrastructure to remove impediments to trade, capital and labour. It is in this context that recent initiatives of China are best appreciated. This leads to a discussion of the digital economy in Southeast Asia.
