“Disrupted Asia: Between Crisis, Rise and Resilience” explores the existing and emerging economic, political and geostrategic trends throughout the Asia-Pacific region in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the world thereafter.

We explore themes of social justice and the changes required in the global order to ensure a more equitable and just society during and after the pandemic. Our guest Kate Lappin, Asia-Pacific Regional Secretary of Public Services International - the global union federation of workers in public services - looks at ways to protect workers in times of crisis and calls for a paradigm shift to jointly build back better.
