GRIPS is collaborating with FPCI (Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia) in convening the FPCI-GRIPS Public Forum, an open public webinar series where experts and policymakers can discuss the most pressing issues of international affairs and foreign policy with researchers and students across Southeast Asia and Japan.

The Second FPCI-GRIPS public forum in 2025 FY titled “A Disrupted World Economic Order: Unilateral Tariff, Weakening WTO, Trade Weaponization, etc.
FPCI-GRIPS Virtual Forum: A Disrupted World Trade Order
The global trade order is facing growing instability due to rising economic nationalism, unilateral tariffs, and increasing doubts about the WTO’s effectiveness. Recent U.S. tariffs on key ASEAN economies have led to slower growth and heightened uncertainty. As countries navigate great power rivalries and reassess market dependencies, regional frameworks like RCEP and CPTPP offer paths to resilience. Co-hosted by FPCI and GRIPS, this forum will bring together four ASEAN and Japanese experts to discuss how the region can respond and uphold a rules-based economic order.
