The Economist has hired Aaron Connelly to be its senior Asia correspondent and Asia diplomatic editor.
He will start in August and be based in Singapore.
Connelly is currently a senior fellow for Southeast Asia politics and foreign policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He played a key part in the organization of the Shangri-La Dialogue and setting the Institute’s research agenda on Southeast Asia.
During his time at the IISS, he has launched two major new initiatives: the Myanmar Conflict Map, an interactive platform for data visualization and analysis of the ongoing conflict in Myanmar; and the annual Singapore Simulation, a two-day crisis workshop designed to test multilateral diplomatic responses to a range of geopolitical scenarios.
He holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Georgetown University.
