The Asian Century

Will Pakistan implode? Whatever happened to “Asian values”? Is there a Pacific arms race? Will China’s rise swamp Asia’s smaller economies? Will the Taliban’s revival bring chaos to Central Asia? Can Japan ever establish relations of trust with its neighbors?

Sixty percent of the world’s population resides in the countries extending from Afghanistan to the micro-states of Oceania. Immense and immensely diverse, Asia now confronts the simultaneous challenges of modernization and globalization. This compels not only awareness of the wider world, but also accommodations that may clash with embedded values. Modernization offers real material gains, but also incites serious internal divisions.

THE ASIAN CENTURY, undertaken in cooperation with the Asia Society, one of the world’s premier think tanks on Asian affairs, brings readers a unique mix of leading Asian commentators and decision-makers, as well as Asia experts from around the world.
