The Asia-Pacific Regional Cooperation and Integration Index (ARCII) is a robust tool to track progress on different areas of regional cooperation and integration (RCI). To capture its increasingly complex nature, the enhanced ARCII framework offers several innovations including new dimensions on digital connectivity and environmental cooperation.

Professor Jane Drake-Brockman of IIT, University of Adelaide along with leading experts discussed the implications for regional and global integration, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
