Session 8: Emerging Issues
26 November, 2020; 8:30 - 10:30 AM UTC
In this unit, we will have a free flowing discussion among experts from the region commenting on nationalist laws and policies that are inherently political with a variety of stakeholders attempting to find favour with decision-makers in each country. The objective of this panel is to focus the debate away from the oft-referenced framework of the US-China trade war and hone in on developments in South Asia and the legal trends and political economy of this region. It will feature leading legal experts from countries across South Asia to capture a broad range of insights and perspectives.
