Cornerstones for Economic Diplomacy Leadership Course 1

The course will provide fundamental insights into the key aspects of economic diplomacy: building cultural competency, understanding ASEAN networks, and supporting future generations. The sessions will provide emerging leaders with essential inputs for navigating the complex world of economic diplomacy. The variety of topics combine to provoke participants’ thinking on their own approaches and motivations to diplomacy; not just how to relate to others, but also the underlying question of who economic diplomacy should benefit.

Key outcomes -  Provide participants with expert workshops on cultural competency, economic

context and understandings of the challenges faced by the younger generation; -  Develop a core understanding of what to consider in cross-cultural relationships; -  Develop an understanding of ASEAN’s Economic Community, and the challenges

and opportunities it presents for Indonesia; -  Develop an understanding of the qualities required to be an effective economic

leader.

Abstracts Session 1: Cross-Cultural Communication Leading in global and culturally diverse workplaces requires more than ‘cultural awareness’. The capacity to shift perspective, access critical knowledge and demonstrate capability is critical. In this practical session, Tamerlaine will draw on her extensive experience in working with leaders in global businesses and government to highlight the realities of what happens, what you need to know, and typical pitfalls to avoid. She will highlight the tensions between when to adapt and adjust, and when to hold the line on key cultural values when working across cultures. She will also discuss the challenges of identifying and navigating difference in an environment of increasing global mobility, interconnectedness and interdependence. Session 2: Trade The forging of bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements and the formation of free trade zones and regional economic blocs have increasingly grown in popularity over the past few decades. A count of all regional trade agreements (RTAs) that have been enforced since 1958 provides clear evidence that within the political sphere, regionalism efforts continue to occur at an increasing rate across the world. The formation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 is one significant milestone that clearly supports this trend. However, there continues to be divergence in the evidence as to the benefits of regional integration to individual countries within the integrated bloc. This divergence in empirical findings may be explained in part by the differences in the types of integration across the various regional economic blocs. This session compares the integration approaches of the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The intra-regional trade networks formed in the EU and in ASEAN over time are compared, with a specific focus on the network position of Indonesia. Finally, the session examines the changes in the structure of the ASEAN trade network, and explores the implications on intra-regional risk. Session 3: Supporting Future Generations In this session, the Australia-Indonesia Youth Association will explore the many ways in which Emerging Leaders in both Australia and Indonesia can foster and encourage the younger generation of business, government and academic minds. AIYA will give a brief overview of the Association, allow the three esteemed young leaders to discus their role in bilateral economic diplomacy, and request participants think about the following question: how can existing leaders create pathways for young people to get involved/work in your industry, and build networks in the Australia-Indonesia bilateral relationship.
