This lecture explores why relations between the European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) matter in an increasingly interconnected and competitive world. It examines the growing importance of trade, investment, diplomacy and security cooperation between the two regions, as well as their shared interests and differences. It also considers why developments in Southeast Asia matter to Europe, and vice versa.
