In its wake, the pandemic will fundamentally re-structure economies as well as how countries and regions engage each other, whether for trade or travel. These trends were already in play, but the pandemic will accelerate them. COVID 19 has broadened and sharpened the geo-political competition compounding the uncertainties and risks we both face. In its aftermath, the crisis will hothouse new structures, rules and norms, whether by design or unintended, which will shape our collective future. ASEAN and the EU will be amongst those affected by these shifting sands. Both bring together and represent member states deeply dependent on a functioning rules-based international order. The EU may be larger and more integrated than the far more diverse ASEAN, but when faced with such multiple enveloping pressures, we are all just as exposed and vulnerable. ASEAN and the EU will be far worse off in such a troubled world, where cooperation becomes situational and transactional. Even for EU Member States, at the height of the pandemic, Schengen borders were unilaterally shut and exports of vital supplies, including medical and food, were curtailed even amongst themselves. © 2020 by World Scientific Publishing Co.

东盟-欧盟贸易谈判
新冠肺炎疫情给东盟和欧盟社会经济带来严重冲击。疫情过后,将从根本上重塑经济结构,以及国家和地区之间的互动方式,无论是贸易还是旅行。这些趋势已经在发挥作用,但大流行将加速这些趋势。新冠肺炎疫情扩大和加剧了地缘政治竞争,加剧了我们共同面临的不确定性和风险。危机的余波将催生新的结构、规则和规范,无论是有意的还是无意的,它们将塑造我们共同的未来。东盟和欧盟将受到这些流沙的影响。这两个组织汇集在一起,代表着深深依赖以规则为基础的有效国际秩序的成员国。欧盟或许比多样化得多的东盟规模更大、一体化程度更高,但在面对如此多重的包围压力时,我们都同样暴露在外,同样脆弱。在这样一个混乱的世界里,东盟和欧盟的情况将会糟糕得多,因为合作变成了情境和交易。即使对欧盟成员国来说,在疫情最严重的时候,申根边境也被单方面关闭,包括医疗和食品在内的重要物资的出口甚至在成员国之间也受到限制。©2020世界科学出版有限公司。
