In this issue

Welcome to this anniversary issue of Global Asia, which marks 10 years since we launched the journal. A little more than a decade ago, in late 2005, a small but distinguished group of Asia specialists from around the world gathered in Seoul under the auspices of the East Asia Foundation to plan an ambitious, long-term project: a journal on international affairs, based in Asia, that would provide a forum for Asia to speak to the world, and for the world to speak to Asia. Like so many other products from Asia in the decades after the Second World War, it was conceived initially as a copy of a Western model — the Foreign Affairs of Asia. But like so many other products from Asia, Global Asia has evolved into something unique in its identity, relevance and value. Asia continues to be the world’s most dynamic region, and we believe in the decades to come, it will play an increasingly pivotal role in world affairs, for better and worse; Global Asia intends to be there to chronicle and analyze that story.

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.
