Facilitating Digital Trade in ASEAN and East Asia

This book examines the main viewpoints and arguments on key issues that are currently under debate globally, on digital trade governance. This includes international trade and investment facilitation, cross-border data flow and storage, privacy protection, consumer protection, competition, taxation, and trade-related cybersecurity. From the perspective of ASEAN and East Asia, the book explores the possibility and feasibility of (i) setting new global norms that could narrow/fill the existing gaps among stakeholders and be widely accepted and implemented; and (ii) whether and how ASEAN and East Asian countries can find regional solutions, based on the common interests among member states, to collaborate in region-wide rule settings. Containing 14 chapters, the book is a valuable resource to researchers, policy-makers, and students.
