CSIS Brzezinski Institute on Geostrategy and Simon Chair in Political Economy will host an event to mark the launch of a new initiative:
A geoeconomic contest is underway to shape Asia’s future. Regional powers are putting forward ambitious plans for building roads, railways, and other hard infrastructure across the region. Reconnecting Asia is the first effort to track these game-changing developments at the project level. Join us for the launch of this groundbreaking initiative and the unveiling of an interactive map, original database, and expert analysis.
