ASEAN in Practice: Episode 15 - Shockwaves from the Middle East Conflict

In today’s podcast, we explore how the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has raised deeper questions about economic security in Southeast Asia—how energy shocks transmit into inflation, industrial slowdown, and even food prices, and whether ASEAN is sufficiently prepared for a more volatile and fragmented global environment. To help us unpack whether this new strategy is fit for its purpose, we are delighted to have with us Dr Mirza Sadaqat Huda. Mirza is a Senior Research Fellow at ODI Global, where his work focuses on energy transitions and the political economy of energy systems in Asia. He is also an Associate Fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute and was previously a Fellow at Energy Peace Partners. The “ASEAN in Practice” podcast aims to invite practitioners from around the region that have spent many years working on ASEAN issues and policies. Through this podcast series, we hope to gain some valuable insights from their experiences that will contribute towards the policy-making level in the form of policy papers and future research on ASEAN.
