Facilitating Digital Trade in ASEAN and East Asia

This book examines the major perspectives and debates shaping the global discourse on digital trade governance. It addresses a wide range of critical issues, including international trade and investment facilitation, cross-border data flows and storage, privacy and consumer protection, competition policy, taxation, and trade-related cybersecurity.

Focusing on ASEAN and East Asia, the book explores two central questions: (i) the possibility and feasibility of establishing new global norms that can bridge existing gaps amongst stakeholders and gain broad international acceptance; and (ii) how ASEAN and East Asian countries can develop regional approaches – grounded in shared interests – to advance co-operation and rule-making across the region.

Comprising 14 chapters, this volume offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and students interested in the evolving landscape of digital trade and its implications for regional and global governance.
