Has Asia Lost It? Dynamic Past, Turbulent Future

COVID-19 has exposed developing Asia’s social, political, and economic fault-lines. In a region obsessed with high economic growth, inequality is rising and social mobility has stalled. In his new book, Has Asia Lost it - Dynamic Past, Turbulent Future, Chatham House Fellow Vasuki Shastry argues that while Asia’s reckoning may have been subject of speculation before the pandemic, COVID-19 has made that inevitable. After benefiting from investment and trade for several decades, the region’s durable economic model is facing headwinds due to pressures on globalization and the US-China trade war. Can Asia remain the greatest economic show on earth and how should the Biden administration recalibrate its relationship with the region?
