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.
