Download Report

Galexia was commissioned by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to contribute a chapter to the Information Economy Report 2007-2008. Galexia’s chapter presents a case study on the ASEAN E-Commerce Project - a major 4-year project to assist the ten Member Countries of the Association of South East Asian Nations develop and implement a harmonised e-commerce legal infrastructure. The E-Commerce Project is funded by the ASEAN Australia Development Cooperation Program (AADCP).

The experience of the ASEAN Member Countries in the E-Commerce Project is helpful for developing countries formulating their own e-commerce legislation and beyond this, developing a comprehensive legal infrastructure, including regulations, standards, training and education.
