About the Survey and Webinar

Almost three years since COVID-19 was declared pandemic, Southeast Asia is still recovering from profound socio-economic impacts and grappling with the headwinds of recessionary pressures, while facing unprecedented challenges from quickly evolving geo-political situations. What are their implications? What can or should the region’s response to these new dynamics be?

Against this backdrop, the ASEAN Studies Centre at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute conducted the fifth edition of ‘‘The State of Southeast Asia 2023” survey from November 2022 to January 2023 to seek the views of Southeast Asian opinion leaders on regional affairs. The survey canvassed the views of 1,308 respondents from the policy, research, business, civil society, and media communities. Among the questions explored in this edition are the top challenges facing Southeast Asia; the Russian invasion of Ukraine; Taiwan Strait tensions; Timor-Leste’s accession to ASEAN; the US-led Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF); China’s Global Security Initiative (GSI); the US-China rivalry and its impact on Southeast Asia, levels of trust regarding the major powers; and soft power. The E-launch event will present key survey findings, which will be highlighted for discussion and analysis, by a distinguished panel of discussants.
