Can Europe remain competitive if its single market remains fragmented?

Speaking at a dialogue chaired by Prof Francesco Mancini at LKYSPP, former Italian Prime Minister Dr Enrico Letta argued that completing Europe's single market has become an economic and geopolitical imperative.

The discussion also examined what a more integrated Europe could mean for ASEAN, as both regions seek to navigate an uncertain global landscape.

Over the past decade, Vietnam has emerged as one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital economies.

Through its recent digital governance reforms, such as the implementation of the National Digital Transformation Programme and becoming the first ASEAN country to adopt a law on artificial intelligence, the Vietnamese government has positioned digital transformation as a strategic pillar for economic growth.

Join us for a webinar hosted by LKYSPP’s Asia Competitiveness Institute (ACI) on “Vietnam's Digital Transformation: Impact on Export Competitiveness of Digital Services”, as our speakers examine how Vietnam’s digital transformation agenda is strengthening the country’s competitiveness in digitally deliverable services (DDS) export.

The session will explore areas such as the opportunities and challenges Vietnam may face in transitioning toward a more innovation-driven and digitally integrated economy.

Years ago, nuclear energy was regarded as being too expensive and too politically sensitive to be considered as an option.

But data centres, urbanisation and various industries are placing upwards pressure on the demand for electricity. And in turn, this has given rise to the question: could nuclear power be the answer to Southeast Asia's concerns regarding energy security and economic competitiveness?

In this episode of Policy Unpacked, 's assistant professor Yuhao Ba sits down with assistant professor and Director of the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES), Tan-Soo Jie-Sheng and Professor Leong Ching, Vice Provost for Student Life at NUS to get their take on the role of nuclear energy in Southeast Asia and its effect on power, politics and public trust.

Many people see career success as a matter of luck. Winnie Wang sees it differently.

A graduate of LKYSPP's Master of Public Administration Management (MPAM) programme, Winnie credits the School with helping her develop the systems thinking and perspectives that continue to guide her career today.

“The professors didn’t just teach theories,” she says. “They connected them with real cases, which helped me make the connection between the many scattered ideas in my mind.”

AI governance refers to government regulation that ensures AI is developed and deployed responsibly. As AI increasingly integrates into daily life, this system is critical for mitigating social harms, preventing algorithmic bias, and maintaining public trust. By examining global models, we can better understand how to balance technological innovation with the protection of individual rights.

This post is part of the "Governance Explainers" series by the Institute for Governance and Leadership, designed to unpack complex frameworks and key concepts in an accessible format for all readers.
