How Will Asia
Lead?

Domestic and intra-regional trade are the new mantra
for Asia suggesting greater focus on the region, but Asia from its position
of growing economic power has simultaneously sought to take a more outward
leadership role in tackling global challenges.

with growing responsibilities on the world stage?

Global Risks, Asian Responses

Asian economies are forecast to grow at 7% on
average in 2010, well above the estimated world average of 4.1%, but challenges
such as new asset bubbles, overregulation, rising unemployment and chronic
diseases are among the most pressing threats to social and economic
stability.

How are these risks interlinked and what measures
can decision-makers from the region take now to avoid the potential of
systemic failure in the future? In partnership with the World Economic Forum,
NHK hosts this debate focusing on global risks and how regional leaders
respond to them.
