Regional Outlook Forum 2021 – DAY 2
About the Regional Outlook Forum
The Regional Outlook Forum (ROF), ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute’s flagship event held at the beginning of each year, will take place in a month’s time on the 6th and 7th of January 2021.
Themed “POWER, POLICY AND POLITICS IN A POST-COVID WORLD”, ROF 2021 will examine key dynamics at the regional and national level, informed by two far- reaching global events – the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the outcome of the 2020 US Presidential Election. At the national level, the impact of the COVID pandemic as well as the strategic US-China competition will intersect with underlying and unfolding domestic dynamics.
The ROF has also had to adapt to the COVID pandemic. In order to comply with current public health and safety practices, while also keeping our commitment to vigorous discussion, ROF2021 will be delivered over two half-day sessions online.
We invite you to attend the forum and to contribute to the discussion.
More info available on the Event website.
