“Disrupted Asia: Between Crisis, Rise and Resilience” explores the existing and emerging economic, political and geostrategic trends throughout the Asia-Pacific region in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the world thereafter.

Today's double episode focusses on workers' rights along global supply chains. We explore the debate surrounding the supply chain act in Germany and its importance for Asia with Dr. Bärbel Kofler, Germany's Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Assistance.
