At the turn of the 21st Century, Asia pulled one billion people out
of poverty in one generation, a meteoric rise suddenly stalled by
the COVID-19 pandemic. This volume examines the strengths of the
Asian-Pacific response to the pandemic and weaknesses that the
region must re-engineer to rebound. It reimagines social and
economic pathways to revamp production modes and networks to
rekindle sustainable growth. Home to two-thirds of the world's
population, the Asia-Pacific Region already accounts for close to
half of all global output. By 2050 - after a detour of two
centuries and a few pandemics - Asia-Pacific can again become a
centrifugal economic and social force. This volume sets out options
for policymakers to consider as we head into a new Asia-Pacific
Century, one where economic strength will be necessary but
insufficient by itself, as inclusion, resilience and sustainability
- once seen as moral choices - become imperatives for the planet's
future.
