Asian Crucible explores the role of globalisation and geopolitics in the making of modern Asia. It tells the sweeping story of Asia’s modern resurgence: how globalization, supply chains and market-led integration powered unprecedented economic growth and lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. It explores the creativity, energy and resilience that made this possible, while examining the dark side of that success: new geopolitical and nationalistic tensions that threaten to unravel this progress.
As Asia stands at a crossroads, facing both extraordinary opportunity and escalating risk, this seminar will examine these forces and argue for for thoughtful and creative leadership to ensure that peace and prosperity rather than conflict and division define the next chapter of Asia’s story.
