Key reflections and future directions

Abstract

This chapter draws together themes of the earlier chapters to how consumer protection law reform might be advanced in a manner consistent with the evolving 'ASEAN' way in order to effect real and postive change for consumers and markets. We focus on aspects of transgovermentalism and especially 'shared regional value' as a way of conceiving and advancing an operational mechanism among ASEAN member states that may lead to effective consumer protection regulation while retaining regional autonomy and diversity.
