Asia Matters 2

Asia Matters is the discussion paper series of Asia in Global Affairs. Asia has been the theme of discussions for some years now, not merely due to the projection of the 21st century as the Asian Century but also because of China’s emerging role in the global arena, the resilience of Asian economies in the face of a global downturn, its growing and young population, its advent as both the largest producer and consumer of goods and a plethora of other factors that would follow these developments. In contemporary times, Asia also connotes a space where new strategic and cultural geographies, which contest traditional geopolitical and geo-cultural divisions are being imagined and where alternative institutions that predict a transition of the center of global activities eastward are being framed. Asia Matters seeks to explore these and myriad other issues related to Asia in glocal contexts. Circulated electronically, the idea is to explore multiple perspectives with the understanding that they reflect the broad range of issues that AGA researchers contemplate upon and which have the potential for substantive impact. As such it reflects AGA's objective of multiple conversations, in-depth insights and meaningful impact. Download e-Book
