In this episode of the Asia Pacific Business Forum Podcast, we speak with Peter Drysdale, Emeritus Professor of Economics at The Australian National University, a leading authority on Asia-Pacific economic integration, and an intellectual architect of APEC, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation organization whose leaders met in South Korea three days after our conversation.
Peter discusses the increasing tension between President Trump’s “coercive power” bilateral approach and the rules-based, multilateral system of “cooperative regionalism,” which has been a key to
the remarkable economic successes of Asian economies—what he describes as a growing “struggle between two conceptions of the world.”
In response to American pressures, leaders of RCEP—the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, comprising the ASEAN nations plus Australia, China, Japan, Korea, and New Zealand—who met in Kuala Lumpur on the day prior to our conversation, vowed to accelerate their commitments for greater economic integration, seeking to “de-risk” their economies from the United States. As Peter notes, this will accelerate the integration of RCEP member economies with China.

Pandemic: Economic bubbles are bursting – Kevin Morse – Cairn Spring Mills
Cairn Spring Mills is a company that surprisingly is growing during the pandemic. The company is a varietal flour mill that produces a high quality locally sourced product. While other companies have been strapped by failing consumer demand and disrupted supply chains, Cairn Spring has increased sales by changing their business model - pivoting from being a strictly commercial wholesale outfit to being a nimble retail business.
CEO Kevin Morse said "I think a bubble has been broken. I was talking to one of our advisors who's a former venture capitalist and she called this a macro-shock event which is drastically changing consumer behavior.
In this episode of Business Class, we continue to explore how companies are adjusting and working to survive the sudden economic shifts of the pandemic.
