Geopolitical rivalry, economic fragmentation, supply chain disruption, the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), and mounting climate-related risks are reshaping the environment in which ASEAN operates. In this changing context, ASEAN faces growing pressure to maintain its centrality, strengthen its resilience, and continue delivering practical benefits for its member states. ASEAN's future rests on its ability to preserve regional stability, deepen economic integration, and translate regional commitments into practical cooperation. As economics and security become increasingly intertwined, ASEAN will need to strengthen cooperation on trade, energy, and digital governance while ensuring that growth remains inclusive. Against this backdrop, Professor Mari Elka Pangestu's lecture will examine the strategic choices facing ASEAN and discuss how the region can continue to deliver tangible benefits for its people in an increasingly uncertain world.
