This path-breaking book investigates the challenges of realizing
the Asian century. Prosperity in Asia does not only mean economic
growth; the issues of public health, sanitation, income equality,
the social safety net and efficient use of natural resources are
also important. It argues for new policy initiatives in social,
environmental and natural resource areas of South, Southeast and
East Asia.This insightful volume is presented in three parts: Part
I identifies the major socio-economic factors which are likely to
take away the opportunities in realizing the Asian century by 2050;
Part II presents the responsible policy issues which would be
needed to overcome the hurdles such as public finance, natural
resources, public health and sanitation, intra-Asia migration and
decentralized governance; and Part III articulates major challenges
in realizing Asian prosperity including sustainable international
business and sustainable growth. The topics examined range from
demographic conditions and tax reform to responsible use of natural
resources in the years to come. The Asian Century, Sustainable
Growth and Climate Change will appeal to academics in the fields of
Asian studies and environment ecology. Both practitioners and
policymakers will find this detailed analysis of the major
challenges for South Asian growth an invaluable resource.
