This workshop summarizes the proceedings of an IDSS-sponsored workshop on East Asian economic security, particularly in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998 and in light of the competitive challenges posed by economic globalization. The workshop had two main aims: firstly, to understand the key economic security problems in East Asian states, in particular to examine whether the internal dimension of economic security had become a primary issue area of concern; and secondly, to examine how policymakers have addressed, or are addressing, questions of governance in the interests of economic security.
