Il Myanmar alla fine delle favole

Feb 21, 2020 Asia Prospects RISE

[IT] Con la vittoria elettorale nel 2015 di Aung San Suu Kyi, il mondo – soprattutto l’Occidente – viveva il lieto fine della tormentata vicenda del Myanmar contemporaneo. Ecco Suu Kyi, già insignita del Premio Nobel per la Pace, a lungo in carcere o agli arresti domiciliari negli anni bui della dittatura militare, finalmente al potere, anche se condiviso con gli stessi generali un tempo suoi oppressori. Certo, i problemi non sarebbero scomparsi, ma il Paese li avrebbe gradualmente risolti, grazie alla ritrovata libertà e all’esistenza di un governo semi-civile.

The last frontier of Italian luxury: conquering the ASEAN market

Feb 17, 2020 Asia Prospects Luca Sartorelli Research & Policy Papers

While the ‘old’ Europe is recovering from the last financial crisis at a snail’s pace, consumption levels and GDP in the ASEAN zone are soaring. The number of affluent people is also going up, and so is so-called ‘conspicuous consumption’. As a matter of fact, when it comes to high-end and luxury commodities, Italy is one of the leading countries. So how are Italian luxury producers positioned in the race for the conquest of the ASEAN market?

Singapore Thailandia Vietnam: Opportunità e sfide per le imprese

Feb 5, 2020 Asia Prospects Gabriele Giovannini Research & Policy Papers

[IT] Singapore, Thailandia e Vietnam sono paesi dalle enormi opportunità sia in termini di esportazioni sia di investimenti, ma ancora poco presidiati dalle PMI italiane. Il rapporto, nato dalla collaborazione del Dipartimento di Culture, Politica e Società dell'Università di Torino con la Camera di Commercio, Industria, Artigianato e Agricoltura di Torino e T.wai - Torino World Affairs Institute, ha due obiettivi: proporre uno strumento utile alla PMI per sviluppare una strategia di internazionalizzazione vincente nell'area e dare la possibilità alle PMI di aprire una finestra su tre paesi chiave di una delle regioni più promettenti per l’export a livello globale, esplorandone sfide e opportunità.

After the election: between historical invariance and new scenarios in Indonesia

Nov 27, 2019 Asia Prospects Guido Creta T.notes

Indonesian President Jokowi has appointed his rival, former Army Lieutenant General Prabowo, as defense minister.

Cambogia e Laos tra passato e futuro

Nov 11, 2019 Asia Prospects RISE

[IT] Il Laos e la Cambogia non fanno generalmente notizia in Italia, dove i due stati non hanno una rappresentanza diplomatica. Tra gli stati del Sud-Est asiatico, sono relativamente piccoli (il Laos non arriva ai 7 milioni di abitanti, e la Cambogia supera di poco i 16 milioni), più poveri, e membri dell’ASEAN (l’Associazione delle Nazioni del Sud-est asiatico) in tempi più recenti (il Laos dal 1997 e la Cambogia dal 1999).

Jun 11, 2019 Asia Prospects Alessandro Fergnani RISE

On October 19th 2018, in the occasion of the 12th Asia-Europe meeting in Brussels, a Free Trade Agreement (EUSFTA) was signed between the European Union and Singapore, allegedly aimed at cutting tariffs, removing trade barriers and simplifying trade rules between the two parties. This document was complemented by an Investment Protection Agreement (EUSIPA) bound to replace 12 previous bilateral treaties between the two parties. With these proceedings, trade commissioners of both parties publicly conveyed their willingness to enhance businesses’ savings and safeguard consumer protection, social rights and environmental rules in the countries of the European Union as well as Singapore.
