Fault Lines in a Rising Asia
Wed, April 20th, 2016
Washington, DC
At a time when Asia is undergoing truly astounding economic, political, and security changes, the narrative of the region’s seemingly endless rise has predominated. Yet despite this, Asia’s unparalleled economic success remains mired in virtually all of the world’s most pressing security and political problems.
Chung Min Lee discussed his new book, Fault Lines in a Rising Asia, and argued that Asia’s rise is not synonymous with an Asian-led international order—and that the region faces multiple tipping points with unprecedented magnitudes. Carnegie’s Douglas H. Paal moderated.
