With the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) coming into force on Jan. 1, 2022 is set out to be a year of Asia. Renowned diplomat-turned-scholar Kishore Mahbubani’s most recent book The Asian 21st Century explores a host of topics centered around trends of a returned Asia in the context of the US-China rivalry and shifts in the development of globalization. What does the Asian 21st century mean for China, a country locked in complicated past and present power dynamics in the region?
On Tuesday Jan 11, 2022, The Center for China and Globalization (CCG) is pleased to host a seminar featuring the release of The Asian 21st Century and a roundtable discussion amongst a group of senior academic experts on the regional issues and developments. This book is a part of CCG’s “China and Globalization” series at Springer Nature.
The author, Prof. Kishore Mahbubani is currently a Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute (ARI), National University of Singapore (NUS); former Singapore’s Ambassador to the UN; and Founding Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy of NUS. He has been described by Foreign Policy as “the muse of the Asian century.”
