Unlike the past era of double-digit growth in international trade, current expectations remain uncertain. In 2023, global trade in goods contracted by 4.5 per cent (UNCTAD 2023). Recent disruptions, including the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the war in Ukraine and rising tensions between China and the United States (US) have raised scepticism about trade liberalization. In this context, the role of non-tariff measures (NTMs) has drawn increasing attention as they offer greater policy discretion than tariffs, which have already been reduced to sufficiently low levels. Many countries now participate in multiple free trade agreements (FTAs), including mega FTAs with numerous countries. However, FTAs vary

The pursuit of regional economic integration in Southeast Asia has been a cornerstone of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) objectives, epitomized by agreements such as the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA). Recent developments, including the outcomes of the ATIGA General Review and the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), have prompted a re-evaluation of existing trade frameworks. In this context, negotiations to enhance the ATIGA commenced during the 28th ASEAN Economic Ministers' (AEM) Retreat Meeting in March 2022. This paper explores the imperative of upgrading the ATIGA and emphasizes its importance amid shifting regional dynamics, as well as the

Major global events, such as the financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, precipitated substantial and widespread economic disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic in particular, emerged as a paramount source of global uncertainty and economic contraction in 2020 (Baker et al. 2020; World Bank 2022). The International Labour Organization (2022) underlined that such economic shocks profoundly affect the labour market, leading to reduced working hours and employment.The connection between economic disruptions and the labour market is well-documented. Hiring can be regarded as an irreversible investment decision; during periods of severe economic disruption and declining demand, companies postpone hiring and may dismiss

Trade is central to economies as it enhances production and consumption efficiency. However, climate-related catastrophes caused by excessive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have added another dimension to trade, disproportionately affecting developing countries with limited capacity for adaptation and mitigation (Ludwig et al. 2007; Stern 2007). Southeast Asia, with its dense coastal population, is particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels and worsening natural disasters (UNESCO 2024).To address this global emergency, various multilateral conventions, protocols and accords—with the UN at the helm—have established common goals for participating countries with each pledging their own nationally determined

<p></p>
Tourism has contributed immensely to the export earnings of Southeast Asia over the years. Tourism export earnings for the region were around US$118 billion in 2023, which was about 5 per cent of total exports and 22 per cent of services exports of this region (UNWTO 2024). Apart from its direct contribution to services exports, the tourism sector has linkages with export earnings from many other services, including transport, banking and insurance, entertainment and amusement, construction, and manufacturing sectors such as food and beverages, handicrafts, and clothes and textiles (Gupta and Das 2023).However, the COVID-19 outbreak hit tourism in Southeast Asia harder than most other sectors. As countries
