SIIA: A year in review

15 Nov SIIA: A year in review

A look at the SIIA’s 2016 & how you can support our efforts

 

With the U.S. Presidential Elections, BREXIT, the South China Sea ruling, climate change, and inauguration of new leaders in Philippines, Taiwan and Myanmar, 2016 has been an exciting year for international affairs, and the SIIA.

The SIIA is an independent think tank dedicated to the research, analysis and discussion of regional and international issues, and plays a key role in Track II diplomacy, supplementing official dialogue between governments.

Over the course of the year, Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has consolidated political capital and his administration has laid out ambitious development-focused reform agenda. As such, the SIIA has produced a special report analysing Indonesia’s economic reform, based on our engagement with government officials and the private sector. In the hopes of sharing this knowledge and engaging our friends, please find the report here.
