Since the world is in the grips of covid-19 pandemic and facing disrupted global supply chains, it is worth reflecting on the Asian Drama and rediscovering some of its insights. The rapid growth of Southeast Asian countries at the beginning of the twenty-first century may have proved Myrdal’s pessimistic outlook wrong, but his concern over the balance between state and market is still valid as it informs countries in the region that they should be more cautious in pursuing their current industrial policies. This is more so when Keynesian foresight is married to Myrdal’s forecast of development and economic growth, the precariousness of Southeast Asia’s development prospects post-pandemic is more pronounced.

ASEAN has completed its own trade pact-ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) as well as bilateral FTAs with China, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and India. Now it is in the process of forming a more integrated region as the ASEAN Economic Community is destined to establish a single market and production base. Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), along with other trade negotiations such as Trans-Pacific Partnerships (TPP), is partly the result of sustained efforts by ASEAN to promote regional economic integration.
