In this issue

Nine years ago this month, Global Asia’s first issue appeared, and since then we have published over 4,000 pages of insightful analysis by some of the world’s leading thinkers. Back then, China’s rise was well cemented in the minds of policy-makers as an issue of central importance to the future of Asia and the world. But what few may have imagined was how in 2013 China’s new president, Xi Jinping, would unveil two initiatives to revive in a modern incarnation the fabled Silk Road. Now dubbed “One Belt, One Road,” the strategy has the potential to radically reshape China’s influence over global commerce and geopolitics through infrastructure development of
new land and sea routes linking China’s western provinces to Central Asia, Africa and Europe.

Global Asia Magazine Description:

Publisher: East-Asia-Foundation

Category: Politics

Language: English

Frequency: Quarterly

Global Asia is a quarterly publication of the East Asia Foundation. The foundation, established in Seoul in January 2005, strives to promote peace, prosperity, security and sustainability in East Asia by creating an open and creative forum for the exchange of ideas on regional co-operation and integration, among other goals.

The mission we have set for ourselves with Global Asia is both bold and urgent: It is to provide a compelling, serious, and responsible forum for distinguished thinkers, policymakers, political leaders and business people to debate the most important issues in Asia today.

Global Asia is not a journal with a fixed point of view, or a particular agenda. Our aim is to give voice to the global dimension of what is happening in Asia. In our pages and on our web site, we aim for Asia to speak to the world, and the world to Asia. That is important at a time when this region is playing an ever greater role in world affairs.

There are other fine publications on international affairs. What sets us apart is our focus: Asia. We believe that the world is moving into “the Age of Asia,” to borrow a phrase from one of the articles in the inaugural issue of Global Asia in September 2006. This transformation is not going to occur overnight, but it has already begun.

The region’s dynamic economic growth, stable and accountable political systems, maturing democracies, and evolving sense of community are giving Asia greater weight in the world. These developments will have enormous implications for governments, businesses, societies and individuals across the globe. How that transformation is viewed, and shaped, from within Asia and how it is perceived outside Asia is an essential part of the story we have to tell.

The forces of globalization are having a profound impact throughout the world. And they are being influenced and channeled in different ways in different parts of the world. Ours is the story of Asia’s experience with globalization, and the ideas and debates influencing it. In pursuing our mission, we aim to play a part, however modest, in helping to shape the future of Asia.
