Asia’s Global Influence in the 21st Century

Far greater than just China, the new Asian system taking shape is a multi-civilizational order spanning Saudi Arabia to Japan, and Russia to Australia—linking five billion people through trade, finance, and infrastructure networks that together represent 40 percent of global GDP. Author Parag Khanna will address the irrepressible global Asianization taking place and its impact on economy, society, and governance at a Global Café Breakfast on April 30. He will discuss the US-China relationship, as well as why the US needs to look beyond China to the emerging economic powerhouses in Asia including India, Vietnam, and Iran.
