Geopolitical Shifts and Restructuring of Global Production Networks in Post-Pandemic East Asia

AGI Public Policy Seminar: Geopolitical Shifts and Restructuring of Global Production Networks in Post-Pandemic East Asia Speaker: Henry Yeung Distinguished Professor National University of Singapore Based on his work in Global Value Chain Development Report 2023 and the recent book Interconnected Worlds (Stanford University Press, June 2022), Professor Yeung shared with us some key empirical observations on the highly contested and politicized nature of electronics global production networks since the US-China trade war and the Covid-19 pandemic. He examined the most significant implications for macro-regional development in the post-pandemic 2020s in the areas of continual significance of East Asia as a major centre and end market; pro-ecosystem approach to capability development, supply ecosystems, and market access in regions; and strategic partnership with technology leaders towards building national and regional resilience. The AGI Public Policy Seminar Series features leading academics and scholars from universities and think tanks around the world presenting current research on global public-policy issues and discussing their significance and implications for Asia and the world. All are welcome.
