講座摘要:

Several grand visions have been articulated recently for the Asia-Pacific region. China’s One Belt One Road and the Maritime Silk Road has taken the lion’s share of attention but Indonesia has also presented its Maritime Fulcrum vision. Japan too has launched a so-called southward pivot towards south-east Asia. This seminar examines how a tiny global city like Singapore perceives these developments, outlining the challenges as well as opportunities, including potentially closer linkages with fellow global city Hong Kong.
