Synopsis

Researchers and some practitioners in political science, business, economics, education, and geography explore the dynamics of change through which governments, social organizations, and businesses in Asia are adjusting to rapidly changing international trends. They argue that the adjustments suggest a model of balanced human development that sets Asia apart from other regions of the world and can serve as an example for them.
